Do SpanishDict conjugations ever consider defective verbs?

Question

I noticed that the SpanishDict conjugation of soler does not indicate anything about it being a defective verb. Is there a reason for this? Does a listing of defective Spanish verbs exist? Thanks for all responses and saludos to all students of SpanishDict! DonL.

Answer 1

The verbs are conjugated by a software program which is why we have in the past seen it try to conjugate nouns that end in ar, ir, er.

That is also why it conjugates verbs normally considered defective like llover.

If you check the R A E dictionary it does the same thing.

defective verbs

(another site that mentions gustar as a type of defective verb. The validity of that crops up here in discussions from time to time).

You should PM Lazarus1907 and ask him if such a list exists. He has all kinds of esoteric or arcane lists of Spanish words.

Answer 2

Some words, like blandir, have had their conjugations oficially expanded and are no longer defective.

drae
