Excerpt from Inflection of the English, Present Plural Indicative
Fourth edition, Oxford, 1898, p. XXXI): Plural - 1. Love; 2. Loves 3. Love loves.' Since no explanation is made why a North countryman says we love but ye loves, and, at the same time, either they love or they loves, the student is left to the possible inference that the inflections of the third person represent a sort of arith metical summing up of the forms of the other two persons.
