Etymologie (Englisch)

Formed analogically on verbs having -g- inserted for their first-person present indicative and for all their present subjunctive (e.g. poner has pongo as its first-person present indicative and has -g- present in all its present subjunctive, including hacer, caer, oír, and decir). The -g- stem replaced many older verb stems, included -e-, -i-, -y-, all inherited from Latin, but did not replace the stems in the verb haber. Haiga was occasionally used in Old Spanish but never gained enough use to replace haya as other verb conjugations did with their verb.
