"the only trace of [the Latin future tense] is one form, in one
language, with a different function, namely Spanish eres ‘you are’
(sing.), "
 
Fascinating! What about Portuguese 'es'? Is it an exact copy of the
Latin word, or also eris or eres with a later elided r?
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eres#Spanish

 
I meant és, of course, in the correct spelling. Second person singular
of the verb 'ser'. Qual a etimologia?

I find it complicated that it would be anything other than the normal
evolution of latin 'es', but I haven't read on the subject.

How would ‘es’ keep its s, when ‘est’ lost the t AND the s?
