Habeo, habere, habui, habitum is second conjugation and takes a plain accusative for the thing held. Beyond ownership it means to hold, and that is where the idioms come from: orationem habere, to deliver a speech, and se habere with an adverb, to be in a certain state. The participle habitum gives English habit, inhabit and habitat, and habeo itself is the ancestor of the Romance perfect auxiliaries, French avoir and Spanish haber.
