The present book is a revision of my _Latin Grammar_ originally published in 1895. Wherever greater accuracy or precision of statement seemed possible, I have endeavored to secure this. The rules for syllable division have been changed and made to conform to the prevailing practice of the Romans themselves. In the Perfect Subjunctive Active, the endings _-is_, _-imus_, _-itis_ are now marked long. The theory of vowel length before the suffixes -gnus, -gna, -gnum, and also before j, has been discarded. In the Syntax I have recognized a special category of Ablative of Association, and have abandoned the original doctrine as to the force of tenses in the Prohibitive. Apart from the foregoing, only minor and unessential modifications have been introduced. In its main lines the work remains unchanged. ITHACA, NEW YORK, October 16, 1907. * * * * * FROM THE PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. The object of this book is to present _the essential facts_ of Latin grammar in a direct and simple manner, and within the smallest compass consistent with scholarly standards. While intended primarily for the secondary school, it has not neglected the needs of the college student, and aims to furnish such grammatical information as is ordinarily required in undergraduate courses. The experience of foreign educators in recent years has tended to restrict the size of school-grammars of Latin, and has demanded an incorporation of the main principles of the language in compact manuals of 250 pages. Within the past decade, several grammars of this scope have appeared abroad which have amply met the most exacting demands. The publication in this country of a grammar of similar plan and scope seems fully justified at the present time, as all recent editions of classic texts summarize in introductions the special idioms of grammar and style peculiar to individual authors. This makes it feasible to dispense with the enumeration of many _minutiae_ of usage which would otherwise demand consideration in a student's grammar. In the chapter on Prosody, I have designedly omitted all special treatment of the lyric metres of Horace and Catullus, as well as of the measures of the comic poets. Our standard editions of these authors all give such thorough consideration to versification that repetition in a separate place seems superfluous. ITHACA, NEW YORK, December 15, 1894.

THE LATIN LANGUAGE. 1. The Indo-European Family of Languages.--Latin belongs to one group of a large family of languages, known as _Indo-European_.[1] This Indo-European family of languages embraces the following groups: ASIATIC MEMBERS OF THE INDO-EUROPEAN FAMILY. a. _The Sanskrit_, spoken in ancient India. Of this there were several stages, the oldest of which is the Vedic, or language of the Vedic Hymns. These Hymns are the oldest literary productions known to us among all the branches of the Indo-European family. A conservative estimate places them as far back as 1500 B.C. Some scholars have even set them more than a thousand years earlier than this, i.e. anterior to 2500 B.C. The Sanskrit, in modified form, has always continued to be spoken in India, and is represented to-day by a large number of dialects descended from the ancient Sanskrit, and spoken by millions of people. b. _The Iranian_, spoken in ancient Persia, and closely related to the Sanskrit. There were two main branches of the Iranian group, viz. the Old Persian and the Avestan. The Old Persian was the official language of the court, and appears in a number of so-called cuneiform[2] inscriptions, the earliest of which date from the time of Darius I (sixth century B.C.). The other branch of the Iranian, the Avestan,[3] is the language of the Avesta or sacred books of the Parsees, the followers of Zoroaster, founder of the religion of the fire-worshippers. Portions of these sacred books may have been composed as early as 1000 B.C. Modern Persian is a living representative of the old Iranian speech. It has naturally been much modified by time, particularly through the introduction of many words from the Arabic. c. _The Armenian_, spoken in Armenia, the district near the Black Sea and Caucasus Mountains. This is closely related to the Iranian, and was formerly classified under that group. It is now recognized as entitled to independent rank. The earliest literary productions of the Armenian language date from the fourth and fifth centuries of the Christian era. To this period belong the translation of the Scriptures and the old Armenian Chronicle. The Armenian is still a living language, though spoken in widely separated districts, owing to the scattered locations in which the Armenians are found to-day. d. _The Tokharian_. This language, only recently discovered and identified as Indo-European, was spoken in the districts east of the Caspian Sea (modern Turkestan). While in some respects closely related to the three Asiatic branches of the Indo-European family already considered, in others it shows close relationship to the European members of the family. The literature of the Tokharian, so far as it has been brought to light, consists mainly of translations from the Sanskrit sacred writings, and dates from the seventh century of our era. EUROPEAN MEMBERS OF THE INDO-EUROPEAN FAMILY. e. _The Greek_. The Greeks had apparently long been settled in Greece and Asia Minor as far back as 1500 B.C. Probably they arrived in these districts much earlier. The earliest literary productions are the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer, which very likely go back to the ninth century B.C. From the sixth century B.C. on, Greek literature is continuous. Modern Greek, when we consider its distance in time from antiquity, is remarkably similar to the classical Greek of the fourth and fifth centuries B.C. f. _The Italic Group._ The Italic Group embraces the Umbrian, spoken in the northern part of the Italian peninsula (in ancient Umbria); the Latin, spoken in the central part (in Latium); the Oscan, spoken in the southern part (in Samnium, Campania, Lucania, etc.). Besides these, there were a number of minor dialects, such as the Marsian, Volscian, etc. Of all these (barring the Latin), there are no remains except a few scanty inscriptions. Latin literature begins shortly after 250 B.C. in the works of Livius Andronicus, Naevius, and Plautus, although a few brief inscriptions are found belonging to a much earlier period. g. _The Celtic._ In the earliest historical times of which we have any record, the Celts occupied extensive portions of northern Italy, as well as certain areas in central Europe; but after the second century B.C., they are found only in Gaul and the British Isles. Among the chief languages belonging to the Celtic group are the Gallic, spoken in ancient Gaul; the Breton, still spoken in the modern French province of Brittany; the Irish, which is still extensively spoken in Ireland among the common people, the Welsh; and the Gaelic of the Scotch Highlanders. h. _The Teutonic._ The Teutonic group is very extensive. Its earliest representative is the Gothic, preserved for us in the translation of the scriptures by the Gothic Bishop Ulfilas (about 375 A.D.). Other languages belonging to this group are the Old Norse, once spoken in Scandinavia, and from which are descended the modern Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish; German; Dutch; Anglo-Saxon, from which is descended the modern English. i. _The Balto-Slavic._ The languages of this group belong to eastern Europe. The Baltic division of the group embraces the Lithuanian and Lettic, spoken to-day by the people living on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. The earliest literary productions of these languages date from the sixteenth century. The Slavic division comprises a large number of languages, the most important of which are the Russian, the Bulgarian, the Serbian, the Bohemian, the Polish. All of these were late in developing a literature, the earliest to do so being the Old Bulgarian, in which we find a translation of the Bible dating from the ninth century. j. _The Albanian_, spoken in Albania and parts of Greece, Italy, and Sicily. This is most nearly related to the Balto-Slavic group, and is characterized by the very large proportion of words borrowed from Latin, Turkish, Greek, and Slavic. Its literature does not begin till the seventeenth century. 2. Home of the Indo-European Family.--Despite the many outward differences of the various languages of the foregoing groups, a careful examination of their structure and vocabulary demonstrates their intimate relationship and proves overwhelmingly their descent from a common parent. We must believe, therefore, that at one time there existed a homogeneous clan or tribe of people speaking a language from which all the above enumerated languages are descended. The precise location of the home of this ancient tribe cannot be determined. For a long time it was assumed that it was in central Asia north of the Himalaya Mountains, but this view has long been rejected as untenable. It arose from the exaggerated importance attached for a long while to Sanskrit. The great antiquity of the earliest literary remains of the Sanskrit (the Vedic Hymns) suggested that the inhabitants of India were geographically close to the original seat of the Indo-European Family. Hence the home was sought in the elevated plateau to the north. To-day it is thought that central or southeastern Europe is much more likely to have been the cradle of the Indo-European parent-speech, though anything like a logical demonstration of so difficult a problem can hardly be expected. As to the size and extent of the original tribe whence the Indo-European languages have sprung, we can only speculate. It probably was not large, and very likely formed a compact racial and linguistic unit for centuries, possibly for thousands of years. The time at which Indo-European unity ceased and the various individual languages began their separate existence, is likewise shrouded in obscurity. When we consider that the separate existence of the Sanskrit may antedate 2500 B.C., it may well be believed that people speaking the Indo-European parent-speech belonged to a period as far back as 5000 B.C., or possibly earlier. 3. Stages in the Development of the Latin Language.--The earliest remains of the Latin language are found in certain very archaic inscriptions. The oldest of these belong to the sixth and seventh centuries B.C. Roman literature does not begin till several centuries later, viz. shortly after the middle of the third century B.C. We may recognize the following clearly marked periods of the language and literature: a. _The Preliterary Period_, from the earliest times down to 240 B.C., when Livius Andronicus brought out his first play. For this period our knowledge of Latin depends almost exclusively upon the scanty inscriptions that have survived from this remote time. Few of these are of any length. b. _The Archaic Period_, from Livius Andronicus (240 B.C.) to Cicero (81 B.C.). Even in this age the language had already become highly developed as a medium of expression. In the hands of certain gifted writers it had even become a vehicle of power and beauty. In its simplicity, however, it naturally marks a contrast with the more finished diction of later days. To this period belong: Livius Andronicus, about 275-204 B.C. (Translation of Homer's Odyssey; Tragedies). Plautus, about 250-184 B.C. (Comedies). Naevius, about 270-199 B.C. ("Punic War"; Comedies). Ennius, 239-169 B.C. ("Annals"; Tragedies). Terence, about 190-159 B.C. (Comedies). Lucilius, 180-103 B.C. (Satires). Pacuvius, 220-about 130 B.C. (Tragedies). Accius, 170-about 85 B.C. (Tragedies). c. _The Golden Age_, from Cicero (81 B.C.) to the death of Augustus (14 A.D.). In this period the language, especially in the hands of Cicero, reaches a high degree of stylistic perfection. Its vocabulary, however, has not yet attained its greatest fullness and range. Traces of the diction of the Archaic Period are often noticed, especially in the poets, who naturally sought their effects by reverting to the speech of olden times. Literature reached its culmination in this epoch, especially in the great poets of the Augustan Age. The following writers belong here: Lucretius, about 95-55 B.C. (Poem on Epicurean Philosophy). Catullus, 87-about 54 B.C. (Poet). Cicero, 106-43 B.C. (Orations; Rhetorical Works; Philosophical Works; Letters). Caesar, 102-44 B.C. (Commentaries on Gallic and Civil Wars), Sallust, 86-36 B.C. (Historian). Nepos, about 100-about 30 B.C. (Historian). Virgil, 70-19 B.C. ("Aeneid"; "Georgics"; "Bucolics"). Horace, 65-8 B.C. (Odes; Satires, Epistles). Tibullus, about 54-19 B.C. (Poet). Propertius, about 50-about 15 B.C. (Poet). Ovid, 43 B.C.-17 A.D. ("Metamorphoses" and other poems). Livy. 59 B.C.-17 A.D. (Historian). d. _The Silver Latinity_, from the death of Augustus (14 A.D.) to the death of Marcus Aurelius (180 A.D.), This period is marked by a certain reaction against the excessive precision of the previous age. It had become the practice to pay too much attention to standardized forms of expression, and to leave too little play to the individual writer. In the healthy reaction against this formalism, greater freedom of expression now manifests itself. We note also the introduction of idioms from the colloquial language, along with many poetical words and usages. The following authors deserve mention: Phaedrus, flourished about 40 A.D. (Fables in Verse) Velleius Paterculus, flourished about 30 A.D. (Historian). Lucan, 39-65 A.D. (Poem on the Civil War). Seneca, about 1-65 A.D. (Tragedies; Philosophical Works). Pliny the Elder, 23-79 A.D. ("Natural History"). Pliny the Younger, 62-about 115 A.D. ("Letters"). Martial, about 45-about 104 A.D. (Epigrams). Quintilian, about 35-about 100 A.D. (Treatise on Oratory and Education). Tacitus, about 55-about 118 A.D. (Historian). Juvenal, about 55-about 135 A.D. (Satirist). Suetonius, about 73-about 118 A.D. ("Lives of the Twelve Caesars"). Minucius Felix, flourished about 160 A.D. (First Christian Apologist). Apuleius, 125-about 200 A.D. ("Metamorphoses," or "Golden Ass"). e. _The Archaizing Period._ This period is characterized by a conscious imitation of the Archaic Period of the second and first centuries B.C.; it overlaps the preceding period, and is of importance from a linguistic rather than from a literary point of view. Of writers who manifest the archaizing tendency most conspicuously may be mentioned Fronto, from whose hand we have a collection of letters addressed to the Emperors Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius; also Aulus Gellius, author of the "Attic Nights." Both of these writers flourished in the second half of the second century A.D. f. _The Period of the Decline_, from 180 to the close of literary activity in the sixth century A.D. This period is characterized by rapid and radical alterations in the language. The features of the conversational idiom of the lower strata of society invade the literature, while in the remote provinces, such as Gaul, Spain, Africa, the language suffers from the incorporation of local peculiarities. Representative writers of this period are: Tertullian, about 160-about 240 A.D. (Christian Writer). Cyprian, about 200-258 A.D. (Christian Writer). Lactantius, flourished about 300 A.D. (Defense of Christianity). Ausonius, about 310-about 395 A.D. (Poet). Jerome, 340-420 A.D. (Translator of the Scriptures). Ambrose, about 340-397 (Christian Father). Augustine, 354-430 (Christian Father--"City of God"). Prudentius, flourished 400 A.D. (Christian Poet). Claudian, flourished 400 A.D. (Poet). Boethius, about 480-524 A.D. ("Consolation of Philosophy "). 4. Subsequent History of the Latin Language.--After the sixth century A.D. Latin divides into two entirely different streams. One of these is the literary language maintained in courts, in the Church, and among scholars. This was no longer the language of people in general, and as time went on, became more and more artificial. The other stream is the colloquial idiom of the common people, which developed ultimately in the provinces into the modern so-called Romance idioms. These are the Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Provencal (spoken in Provence, i.e. southeastern France), the Rhaeto-Romance (spoken in the Canton of the Grisons in Switzerland), and the Roumanian, spoken in modern Roumania and adjacent districts. All these Romance languages bear the same relation to the Latin as the different groups of the Indo-European family of languages bear to the parent speech. * * * * * PART I. * * * * * SOUNDS, ACCENT, QUANTITY. * * * * * THE ALPHABET. 1. The Latin Alphabet is the same as the English, except that the Latin has no w. 1. K occurs only in _Kalendae_ and a few other words; y and z were introduced from the Greek about 50 B.C., and occur only in foreign words--chiefly Greek. 2. With the Romans, who regularly employed only capitals, I served both as vowel and consonant; so also V. For us, however, it is more convenient to distinguish the vowel and consonant sounds, and to write i and u for the former, j and v for the latter. Yet some scholars prefer to employ i and u in the function of consonants as well as vowels. CLASSIFICATION OF SOUNDS. 2. 1. The Vowels are a, e, i, o, u, y. The other letters are Consonants. The Diphthongs are ae, oe, ei, au, eu, ui. 2. Consonants are further subdivided into Mutes, Liquids, Nasals, and Spirants. 3. The Mutes are p, t, c, k, q; b, d, g; ph, th, ch. Of these,-- a) p, t, c, k, q are voiceless,[4] i.e. sounded _without_ voice or vibration of the vocal cords. b) b, d, g are voiced,[5] i.e. sounded _with_ vibration of the vocal cords. c) ph, th, ch are aspirates. These are confined almost exclusively to words derived from the Greek, and were equivalent to p + h, t + h, c + h, i.e. to the corresponding voiceless mutes with a following breath, as in Eng. _loop-hole_, _hot-house_, _block-house_. 4. The Mutes admit of classification also as Labials, p, b, ph. Dentals (or Linguals), t, d, th. Gutturals (or Palatals), c, k, q, g, ch. 5. The Liquids are l, r. These sounds were voiced. 6. The Nasals are m, n. These were voiced. Besides its ordinary sound, n, when followed by a guttural mute also had another sound,--that of ng in _sing_,--the so-called n _adulterinum_; as,-- anceps, _double_, pronounced angceps. 7. The Spirants (sometimes called Fricatives) are f, s, h. These were voiceless. 8. The Semivowels are j and v. These were voiced. 9. Double Consonants are x and z. Of these, x was equivalent to cs, while the equivalence of z is uncertain. See Sec. 3, 3. 10. The following table will indicate the relations of the consonant sounds:-- VOICELESS. VOICED. ASPIRATES. p, b, ph, (Labials). Mutes, t, d, th, (Dentals). c, k, q, g, ch, (Gutturals). Liquids, l, r, Nasals, m, n, f, (Labial). Spirants, s, (Dental). h, (Guttural). Semivowels, j, v. a. The Double Consonants, x and z, being compound sounds, do not admit of classification in the above table. SOUNDS OF THE LETTERS. 3. The following pronunciation (often called Roman) is substantially that employed by the Romans at the height of their civilization; i.e., roughly, from 50 B.C. to 50 A.D. 1. Vowels. a as in _father_; a as in the first syllable _aha_; e as in _they_; e as in _met_; i as in _machine_; i as in _pin_; o as in _note_; o as in _obey_, _melody_; u as in _rude_; u as in _put_; y like French _u_, German _ue_. 2. Diphthongs. ae like _ai_ in eu with its two elements, e and u, _aisle_; pronounced in rapid succession; oe like _oi_ in _oil_; ui occurs almost exclusively in ei as in _rein_; _cui_ and _huic_. These words may au like _ow_ in _how_; be pronounced as though written _kwee_ and _wheek_. 3. Consonants. b, d, f, h, k, l, m, n, p, qu are pronounced as in English, except that bs, bt are pronounced _ps_, _pt_. c is always pronounced as _k_. t is always a plain _t_, never with the sound of _sh_ as in Eng. _oration_. g always as in _get_; when ngu precedes a vowel, gu has the sound of _gw_, as in anguis, languidus. j has the sound of _y_ as in _yet_. r was probably slightly trilled with the tip of the tongue. s always voiceless as in _sin_; in suadeo, suavis, suesco, and in compounds and derivatives of these words, su has the sound of _sw_. v like _w_. x always like _ks_; never like Eng. _gz_ or _z_. z uncertain in sound; possibly like Eng. _zd_, possibly like _z_. The latter sound is recommended. The aspirates ph, ch, th were pronounced very nearly like our stressed Eng. _p_, c, _t_--so nearly so, that, for practical purposes, the latter sounds suffice. Doubled letters, like ll, mm, tt, etc., should be so pronounced that both members of the combination are distinctly articulated. SYLLABLES. 4. There are as many syllables in a Latin word as there are separate vowels and diphthongs. In the division of words into syllables,-- 1. A single consonant is joined to the following vowel; as, vo-lat, ge-rit, pe-rit, a-dest. 2. Doubled consonants, like tt, ss, etc., are always separated; as, vit-ta, mis-sus. 3. Other combinations of two or more consonants are regularly separated, and the first consonant of the combination is joined with the preceding vowel; as, ma-gis-tri, dig-nus, mon-strum, sis-te-re. 4. An exception to Rule 3 occurs when the two consonants consist of a mute followed by l or r (pl, cl, tl; pr, cr, tr, etc.). In such cases both consonants are regularly joined to the following vowel; as, a-gri, vo-lu-cris, pa-tris, ma-tris. Yet if the l or r introduces the second part of a compound, the two consonants are separated; as, ab-rumpo, ad-latus. 5. The double consonant x is joined to the preceding vowel; as, ax-is, tex-i. QUANTITY. 5. A. Quantity of Vowels. A vowel is _long_ or _short_ according to the length of time required for its pronunciation. No absolute rule can be given for determining the quantity of Latin vowels. This knowledge must be gained, in large measure, by experience; but the following principles are of aid:-- 1. A vowel is long,[6]-- a) before nf or ns; as, infans, inferior, consumo, censeo, insum. b) when the result of contraction; as, nilum for nihilum. 2. A vowel is short,-- a) before nt, nd; as, amant, amandus. A few exceptions occur in compounds whose first member has a long vowel; as, nondum (non dum). b) before another vowel, or h; as, meus, traho. Some exceptions occur, chiefly in proper names derived from the Greek; as, Aeneas. B. Quantity of Syllables. Syllables are distinguished as _long_ or _short_ according to the length of time required for their pronunciation. 1. A syllable is long,[7]-- a) if it contains a long vowel; as, mater, regnum, dius. b) if it contains a diphthong; as, causae, foedus. c) if it contains a short vowel followed by x, z, or any two consonants (except a mute with l or r); as, axis, gaza, resto. 2. A syllable is short, if it contains a short vowel followed by a vowel or by a single consonant; as, mea, amat. 3. Sometimes a syllable varies in quantity, _viz_. when its vowel is short and is followed by a mute with l or r, i.e. by pl, cl, tl; pr, cr, tr, etc.; as, agri, volucris.[8] Such syllables are called _common_. In prose they were regularly short, but in verse they might be treated as long at the option of the poet. NOTE.--These distinctions of _long_ and _short_ are not arbitrary and artificial, but are purely natural. Thus, a syllable containing a short vowel followed by two consonants, as ng, is long, because such a syllable requires _more time_ for its pronunciation; while a syllable containing a short vowel followed by one consonant is short, because it takes _less time_ to pronounce it. In case of the common syllables, the mute and the liquid blend so easily as to produce a combination which takes no more time than a single consonant. Yet by separating the two elements (as ag-ri) the poets were able to use such syllables as long. ACCENT. 6. 1. Words of two syllables are accented upon the first; as, tegit, mo'rem. 2. Words of more than two syllables are accented upon the penult (next to the last) if that is a long syllable, otherwise upon the antepenult (second from the last); as, ama'vi, amantis, miserum. 3. When the enclitics -que, -ne, -ve, -ce, -met, -dum are appended to words, if the syllable preceding the enclitic is long (either originally or as a result of adding the enclitic) it is accented; as, misero'que, hominisque. But if the syllable still remains short after the enclitic has been added, it is not accented unless the word originally took the accent on the antepenult. Thus, portaque; but miseraque. 4. Sometimes the final -e of -ne and -ce disappears, but without affecting the accent; as, tanto'n, isti'c, illu'c. 5. In utra'que, _each_, and plera'que, _most_, -que is not properly an enclitic; yet these words accent the penult, owing to the influence of their other cases,--uterque, utrumque, plerumque. VOWEL CHANGES.[9] 7.. 1. In Compounds, a) e before a single consonant becomes i; as,-- colligo for con-lego. b) a before a single consonant becomes i: as,-- adigo for ad-ago. c) a before two consonants becomes e; as,-- expers for ex-pars. d) ae becomes i; as,-- conquiro for con-quaero. e) au becomes u, sometimes o; as,-- concludo for con-claudo; explodo for ex-plaudo. 2. Contraction. Concurrent vowels were frequently contracted into one long vowel. The first of the two vowels regularly prevailed; as,-- tres for tre-es; copia for co-opia; malo for ma(v)elo; cogo for co-ago; amasti for ama(v)isti; como for co-emo; debeo for de(h)abeo; junior for ju(v)enior. nil for nihil; 3. Parasitic Vowels. In the environment of liquids and nasals a parasitic vowel sometimes develops; as,-- vinculum for earlier vinclum. So periculum, saeculum. 4. Syncope. Sometimes a vowel drops out by syncope; as,-- ardor for aridor (compare _aridus_); valde for valide (compare _validus_). CONSONANT CHANGES[10] 8. 1. Rhotacism. An original s between vowels became r; as,-- arbos, Gen. arboris (for arbosis); genus, Gen. generis (for genesis); dirimo (for dis-emo). 2. dt, tt, ts each give s or ss; as,-- pensum for pend-tum; versum for vert-tum; miles for milet-s; sessus for sedtus; passus for pattus. 3. Final consonants were often omitted; as,-- cor for cord; lac for lact. 4. Assimilation of Consonants. Consonants are often assimilated to a following sound. Thus: accurro (adc-); aggero (adg-); assero (ads-); allatus (adl-); apporto (adp-); attuli (adt-); arrideo (adr-); affero (adf-); occurro (obc-); suppono (subp-); offero (obf-); corruo (comr-); collatus (coml-); etc. 5. Partial Assimilation. Sometimes the assimilation is only partial. Thus:-- a) b before s or t becomes p; as,-- scripsi (scrib-si), scriptum (scrib-tum). b) g before s or t becomes c; as,-- actus (ag-tus). c) m before a dental or guttural becomes n; as,-- eundem (eum-dem); princeps (prim-ceps). PECULIARITIES OF ORTHOGRAPHY. 9. Many words have variable orthography. 1. Sometimes the different forms belong to different periods of the language. Thus, quom, voltus, volnus, volt, etc., were the prevailing forms almost down to the Augustan age; after that, cum, vultus, vulnus, vult, etc. So optumus, maxumus, lubet, lubido, etc. down to about the same era; later, optimus, maximus, libet, libido, etc. 2. In some words the orthography varies at one and the same period of the language. Examples are exspecto, expecto; exsisto, existo; epistula, epistola; adulescens, adolescens; paulus, paullus; cottidie, cotidie; and, particularly, prepositional compounds, which often made a concession to the etymology in the spelling; as,-- ad-gero or aggero; ad-sero or assero; ad-licio or allicio; in-latus or illatus; ad-rogans or arrogans; sub-moveo or summoveo; and many others. 3. Compounds of jacio were usually written eicio, deicio, adicio, obicio, etc., but were probably pronounced as though written adjicio, objicio, etc. 4. Adjectives and nouns in -quus, -quum; -vus, -vum; -uus, -uum preserved the earlier forms in -quos, -quom; -vos, -vom; -uos, -uom, down through the Ciceronian age; as, antiquos, antiquom; saevos; perpetuos; equos; servos. Similarly verbs in the 3d plural present indicative exhibit the terminations -quont, -quontur; -vont, -vontur; -uont, -uontur, for the same period; as, relinquont, loquontur; vivont, metuont. The older spelling, while generally followed in editions of Plautus and Terence, has not yet been adopted in our prose texts. * * * * * PART II. * * * * * INFLECTIONS. * * * * * 10. The Parts of Speech in Latin are the same as in English, viz. Nouns, Adjectives, Pronouns, Verbs, Adverbs, Prepositions, Conjunctions, and Interjections; but the Latin has no article. 11. Of these eight parts of speech the first four are capable of Inflection, i.e. of undergoing change of form to express modifications of meaning. In case of Nouns, Adjectives, and Pronouns, this process is called Declension; in case of verbs, Conjugation. * * * * * CHAPTER I.--_Declension._ A. NOUNS. 12. A Noun is the name of a _person_, _place_, _thing_, or _quality_; as, Caesar, _Caesar_; Roma, _Rome_; penna, _feather_; virtus, _courage_. 1. Nouns are either Proper or Common. Proper nouns are permanent names of persons or places; as, Caesar, Roma. Other nouns are Common: as, penna, virtus. 2. Nouns are also distinguished as Concrete or Abstract. a) Concrete nouns are those which designate individual objects; as, mons, _mountain_; pes, _foot_; dies, _day_; mens, _mind_. Under concrete nouns are included, also, collective nouns; as, legio, _legion_; comitatus, _retinue_. b) Abstract nouns designate qualities; as, constantia, _steadfastness_; paupertas, _poverty_. GENDER OF NOUNS. 13. There are three Genders,--Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter. Gender in Latin is either natural or grammatical. Natural Gender. 14. The gender of nouns is natural when it is based upon sex. Natural gender is confined entirely to names of persons; and these are-- 1. Masculine, if they denote males; as,-- nauta, _sailor_; agricola, _farmer_. 2. Feminine, if they denote females; as,-- mater, _mother_; regina, _queen_. Grammatical Gender. 15. Grammatical gender is determined not by sex, but by the general signification of the word, or the ending of its Nominative Singular. By grammatical gender, nouns denoting things or qualities are often Masculine or Feminine, simply by virtue of their signification or the ending of the Nominative Singular. The following are the general principles for determining grammatical gender:-- _A. Gender determined by Signification._ 1. Names of _Rivers_, _Winds_, and _Months_ are Masculine; as,-- Sequana, _Seine_; Eurus, _east wind_; Aprilis, _April_. 2. Names of _Trees_, and such names of _Towns_ and _Islands_ as end in -us, are Feminine; as,-- quercus, _oak_; Corinthus, _Corinth_; Rhodus, _Rhodes_. Other names of towns and islands follow the gender of their endings (see _B_, below); as,-- Delphi, n.; Leuctra, n.; Tibur, n.; Carthago, f. 3. Indeclinable nouns, also infinitives and phrases, are Neuter; as,-- nihil, _nothing_; nefas, _wrong_; amare, _to love_. NOTE.--Exceptions to the above principles sometimes occur; as, Allia (the river), f. _B. Gender determined by Ending of Nominative Singular._ The gender of other nouns is determined by the ending of the Nominative Singular.[11] NOTE 1.--_Common Gender._ Certain nouns are sometimes Masculine, sometimes Feminine. Thus, sacerdos may mean either _priest_ or _priestess_, and is Masculine or Feminine accordingly. So also civis, _citizen_; parens, _parent_; etc. The gender of such nouns is said to be _common_. NOTE 2.--Names of animals usually have grammatical gender, according to the ending of the Nominative Singular, but the one form may designate either the male or female; as, anser, m., _goose_ or _gander_. So vulpes, f., _fox_; aquila, f., _eagle_. NUMBER. 16. The Latin has two Numbers,--the Singular and Plural. The Singular denotes one object, the Plural, more than one. CASES. 17. There are six Cases in Latin:-- Nominative, Case of Subject; Genitive, Objective with _of_, or Possessive; Dative, Objective with _to_ or _for_; Accusative, Case of Direct Object; Vocative, Case of Address; Ablative, Objective with _by_, _from_, _in_, _with_. 1. LOCATIVE. Vestiges of another case, the Locative (denoting place where), occur in names of towns and in a few other words. 2. OBLIQUE CASES. The Genitive, Dative, Accusative, and Ablative are called Oblique Cases. 3. STEM AND CASE-ENDINGS. The different cases are formed by appending certain case-endings to a fundamental part called the Stem.[12] Thus, _portam_ (Accusative Singular) is formed by adding the case-ending -m to the stem porta-. But in most cases the final vowel of the stem has coalesced so closely with the actual case-ending that the latter has become more or less obscured. The _apparent case-ending_ thus resulting is called a termination. THE FIVE DECLENSIONS. 18. There are five Declensions in Latin, distinguished from each other by the final letter of the Stem, and also by the Termination of the Genitive Singular, as follows:-- DECLENSION. FINAL LETTER OF STEM. GEN. TERMINATION. First a -ae Second o -i Third i / Some consonant -is Fourth u -us Fifth e -ei / -ei Cases alike in Form. 19. 1. The Vocative is regularly like the Nominative, except in the singular of nouns in -us of the Second Declension. 2. The Dative and Ablative Plural are always alike. 3. In Neuters the Accusative and Nominative are always alike, and in the Plural end in -a. 4. In the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Declensions, the Accusative Plural is regularly like the Nominative. * * * * * FIRST DECLENSION. a-Stems. 20. Pure Latin nouns of the First Declension regularly end, in the Nominative Singular, in -a, weakened from -a, and are of the Feminine Gender. They are declined as follows:-- Porta, _gate_; stem, porta-. SINGULAR. CASES. MEANINGS. TERMINATIONS. _Nom._ porta _a gate_ (as subject) -a _Gen._ portae _of a gate_ -ae _Dat._ portae _to_ or _for a gate_ -ae _Acc._ portam _a gate_ (as object) -am _Voc._ porta _O gate!_ -a _Abl._ porta _with, by, from, in a gate_ -a PLURAL. _Nom._ portae _gates_ (as subject) -ae _Gen._ portarum _of gates_ -arum _Dat._ portis _to_ or _for gates_ -is _Acc._ portas _gates_ (as object) -as _Voc._ portae _O gates!_ -ae _Abl._ portis _with, by, from, in gates_ -is 1. The Latin has no article, and porta may mean either _a gate_ or _the gate_; and in the Plural, _gates_ or _the gates_. Peculiarities of Nouns of the First Declension. 21. 1. EXCEPTIONS IN GENDER. Nouns denoting males are Masculine; as, nauta, _sailor_; agricola, _farmer_; also, Hadria, _Adriatic Sea_. 2. Rare Case-Endings,-- a) An old form of the Genitive Singular in -as is preserved in the combination pater familias, _father of a family_; also in mater familias, filius familias, filia familias. But the regular form of the Genitive in -ae is also admissible in these expressions; as, pater familiae. b) In poetry a Genitive in -ai also occurs; as, aulai. c) The Locative Singular ends in -ae; as, Romae, _at Rome_. d) A Genitive Plural in -um instead of -arum sometimes occurs; as, Dardanidum instead of Dardanidarum. This termination -um is not a contraction of -arum, but represents an entirely different case-ending. e) Instead of the regular ending -is, we usually find -abus in the Dative and Ablative Plural of dea, _goddess_, and filia, _daughter_, especially when it is important to distinguish these nouns from the corresponding forms of deus, _god_, and filius, _son_. A few other words sometimes have the same peculiarity; as, libertabus (from liberta, _freedwoman_), equabus (_mares_), to avoid confusion with libertis (from libertus, _freedman_) and equis (from equus, _horse_). Greek Nouns. 22. These end in -e (Feminine); -as and -es (Masculine). In the Plural they are declined like regular Latin nouns of the First Declension. In the Singular they are declined as follows:-- Archias, Epitome, Cometes, _comet_. _Archias_. _epitome_. _Nom._ Archias epitome cometes _Gen._ Archiae epitomes cometae _Dat._ Archiae epitomae cometae _Acc._ Archiam (or -an) epitomen cometen _Voc._ Archia epitome comete (or -a) _Abl._ Archia epitome comete (or -a) 1. But most Greek nouns in -e become regular Latin nouns in -a, and are declined like porta; as, grammatica, _grammar_; musica, _music_; rhetorica, _rhetoric_. 2. Some other peculiarities occur, especially in poetry. * * * * * SECOND DECLENSION. o-Stems. 23. Pure Latin nouns of the Second Declension end in -us, -er, -ir, Masculine; -um, Neuter. Originally -us in the Nominative of the Masculine was -os; and -um of the Neuters -om. So also in the Accusative. Nouns in -us and -um are declined as follows:-- Hortus, _garden_; Bellum, _war_; stem, horto-. stem, bello-. SINGULAR. TERMINATION. TERMINATION. _Nom._ hortus -us bellum -um _Gen._ horti -i belli -i _Dat._ horto -o bello -o _Acc._ hortum -um bellum -um _Voc._ horte -e bellum -um _Abl._ horto -o bello -o PLURAL. _Nom._ horti -i bella -a _Gen._ hortorum -orum bellorum -orum _Dat._ hortis -is bellis -is _Acc._ hortos -os bella -a _Voc._ horti -i bella -a _Abl._ hortis -is bellis -is Nouns in -er and -ir are declined as follows:-- Puer, _boy_; Ager, _field_; Vir, _man_; stem, puero- stem, agro- stem, viro- SINGULAR. TERMINATION. _Nom._ puer ager vir Wanting _Gen._ pueri agri viri -i _Dat._ puero agro viro -o _Acc._ puerum agrum virum -um _Voc._ puer ager vir Wanting _Abl._ puero agro viro -o PLURAL. _Nom._ pueri agri viri -i _Gen._ puerorum agrorum virorum -orum _Dat._ pueris agris viris -is _Acc._ pueros agros viros -os _Voc._ pueri agri viri -i _Abl._ pueris agris viris -is 1. Note that in words of the type of puer and vir the final vowel of the stem has disappeared in the Nominative and Vocative Singular. In the Nominative and Vocative Singular of ager, the stem is further modified by the development of e before r. 2. The following nouns in -er are declined like puer: adulter, _adulterer_; gener, _son-in-law_; Liber, _Bacchus_; socer, _father-in-law_; vesper, _evening_; and compounds in -fer and -ger, as signifer, armiger. Nouns in _-vus_, _-vum_, _-quus_. 24. Nouns ending in the Nominative Singular in -vus, -vum, -quus, exhibited two types of inflection in the classical Latin,--an earlier and a later,--as follows:-- _Earlier Inflection (including Caesar and Cicero)._ Servos, m., Aevom, n., Equos, m., _slave_. _age_. _horse_. SINGULAR. _Nom._ servos aevom equos _Gen._ servi aevi equi _Dat._ servo aevo equo _Acc._ servom aevom equom _Voc._ serve aevom eque _Abl._ servo aevo equo _Later inflection (after Cicero)._ SINGULAR. _Nom._ servus aevum equus _Gen._ servi aevi equi _Dat._ servo aevo equo _Act._ servum aevum equum _Voc._ serve aevum eque _Abl._ servo aevo equo 1. The Plural of these nouns is regular, and always uniform. Peculiarities of Inflection in the Second Declension. 25. 1. Proper names in -ius regularly form the Genitive Singular in -i (instead of -ii), and the Vocative Singular in -i (for -ie); as Vergili, _of Virgil_, or _O Virgil_ (instead of Vergilii, Vergilie). In such words the accent stands upon the penult, even though that be short. Nouns in -ajus, -ejus form the Gen. in -ai, -ei, as Pompejus, Pompei. 2. Nouns in -ius and -ium, until after the beginning of the reign of Augustus (31 B.C.), regularly formed the Genitive Singular in -i (instead of -ii); as,-- _Nom._ ingenium filius _Gen._ ingeni fili These Genitives accent the penult, even when it is short. 3. Filius forms the Vocative Singular in -i (for -ie); _viz_. fili, _O son!_ 4. Deus, _god_, lacks the Vocative Singular. The Plural is inflected as follows:-- _Nom._ di (dei) _Gen._ deorum (deum) _Dat._ dis (deis) _Acc._ deos _Voc._ di (dei) _Abl._ dis (deis) 5. The Locative Singular ends in -i; as, Corinthi, _at Corinth_. 6. The Genitive Plural has -um, instead of -orum,-- a) in words denoting money and measure; as, talentum, _of talents_; modium, _of pecks_; sestertium, _of sesterces_. b) in duumvir, triumvir, decemvir; as, duumvirum. c) sometimes in other words; as, liberum, _of the children_; socium, _of the allies_. Exceptions to Gender in the Second Declension. 26. 1. The following nouns in -us are Feminine by exception:-- a) Names of towns, islands, trees--according to the general rule laid down in Sec. 15, 2; also some names of countries; as Aegyptus, _Egypt_. b) Five special words,-- alvus, _belly_; carbasus, _flax_; colus, _distaff_; humus, _ground_; vannus, _winnowing-fan_. c) A few Greek Feminines; as,-- atomus, _atom_; diphthongus, _diphthong_. 2. The following nouns in -us are Neuter:-- pelagus, _sea_; virus, _poison_; vulgus, _crowd_. Greek Nouns of the Second Declension. 27. These end in -os, -os, Masculine or Feminine; and -on, Neuter. They are mainly proper names, and are declined as follows:-- Barbitos, m. Androgeos, m., Ilion, n., and f., _Androgeos._ _Troy._ _lyre._ _Nom._ barbitos Androgeos Ilion _Gen._ barbiti Androgeo, -i Ilii _Dat._ barbito Androgeo Ilio _Acc._ barbiton Androgeo, -on Ilion _Voc._ barbite Androgeos Ilion _Abl._ barbito Androgeo Ilio 1. Nouns in -os sometimes form the Accusative Singular in -um instead of -on; as, Delum, _Delos_. 2. The Plural of Greek nouns, when it occurs, is usually regular. 3. For other rare forms of Greek nouns the lexicon may be consulted. * * * * * THIRD DECLENSION. 28. Nouns of the Third Declension end in -a, -e, -i, -o, -y, -c, -l, -n, -r, -s, -t, -x. The Third Declension includes several distinct classes of Stems,-- I. Pure Consonant-Stems. II. i-Stems. III. Consonant-Stems which have partially adapted themselves to the inflection of i-Stems. IV. A very few stems ending in a long vowel or a diphthong. V. Irregular Nouns. I. Consonant-Stems. 29. 1. In these the stem appears in its unaltered form in all the oblique cases, so that the actual case-endings may be clearly recognized. 2. Consonant-Stems fall into several natural subdivisions, according as the stem ends in a Mute, Liquid, Nasal, or Spirant. _A. Mute-Stems._ 30. Mute-Stems may end,-- 1. In a Labial (p); as, princep-s. 2. In a Guttural (g or c); as, remex (remeg-s); dux (duc-s). 3. In a Dental (d or t); as, lapis (lapid-s); miles (milet-s). 1. STEMS IN A LABIAL MUTE (p). 31. Princeps, m., _chief_. SINGULAR. TERMINATION. _Nom._ princeps -s _Gen._ principis -is _Dat._ principi -i _Acc._ principem -em _Voc._ princeps -s _Abl._ principe -e PLURAL. _Nom._ principes -es _Gen._ principum -um _Dat._ principibus -ibus _Acc._ principes -es _Voc._ principes -es _Abl._ principibus -ibus 2. STEMS IN A GUTTURAL MUTE (g, c). 32. In these the termination -s of the Nominative Singular unites with the guttural, thus producing -x. Remex, m., _rower_. Dux, c., _leader_. SINGULAR. PLURAL. SINGULAR. PLURAL. _Nom._ remex remiges dux duces _Gen._ remigis remigum ducis ducum _Dat._ remigi remigibus duci ducibus _Acc._ remigem remiges ducem duces _Voc._ remex remiges dux duces _Abl._ remige remigibus duce ducibus 3. STEMS IN A DENTAL MUTE (d, t). 33. In these the final d or t of the stem disappears in the Nominative Singular before the ending -s. Lapis, m., _stone_. Miles, m., _soldier_. SINGULAR. PLURAL. SINGULAR. PLURAL. _Nom._ lapis lapides miles milites _Gen._ lapidis lapidum militis militum _Dat._ lapidi lapidibus militi militibus _Acc._ lapidem lapides militem milites _Voc._ lapis lapides miles milites _Abl._ lapide lapidibus milite militibus _B. Liquid Stems._ 34. These end in -l or -r. Vigil, m., Victor, m., Aequor, n., _watchman_. _conqueror_. _sea_. SINGULAR. _Nom._ vigil victor aequor _Gen._ vigilis victoris aequoris _Dat._ vigili victori aequori _Acc._ vigilem victorem aequor _Voc._ vigil victor aequor _Abl._ vigile victore aequore PLURAL. _Nom._ vigiles victores aequora _Gen._ vigilum victorum aequorum _Dat._ vigilibus victoribus aequoribus _Acc._ vigiles victores aequora _Voc._ vigiles victores aequora _Abl._ vigilibus victoribus aequoribus 1. Masculine and Feminine stems ending in a liquid form the Nominative and Vocative Singular without termination. 2. The termination is also lacking in the Nominative, Accusative and Vocative Singular of all neuters of the Third Declension. _C. Nasal Stems._ 35. These end in -n,[13] which often disappears in the Nom. Sing. Leo, m., _lion_. Nomen, n., _name_ SINGULAR. PLURAL. SINGULAR. PLURAL. _Nom._ leo leones nomen nomina _Gen._ leonis leonum nominis nominum _Dat._ leoni leonibus nomini nominibus _Acc._ leonem leones nomen nomina _Voc._ leo leones nomen nomina _Abl._ leone leonibus nomine nominibus _D. s-Stems._ 36. Mos, m. Genus, n., Honor, m., _custom_. _race_. _honor_. SINGULAR. _Nom._ mos genus honor _Gen._ moris generis honoris _Dat._ mori generi honori _Acc._ morem genus honorem _Voc._ mos genus honor _Abl._ more genere honore PLURAL. _Nom._ mores genera honores _Gen._ morum generum honorum _Dat._ moribus generibus honoribus _Acc._ mores genera honores _Voc._ mores genera honores _Abl._ moribus generibus honoribus 1. Note that the final s of the stem becomes r (between vowels) in the oblique cases. In many words (honor, color, and the like) the r of the oblique cases has, by analogy, crept into the Nominative, displacing the earlier s, though the forms honos, colos, etc., also occur, particularly in early Latin and in poetry. II. i-Stems. _A. Masculine and Feminine i-Stems._ 37. These regularly end in -is in the Nominative Singular, and always have -ium in the Genitive Plural. Originally the Accusative Singular ended in -im, the Ablative Singular in -i, and the Accusative Plural in -is; but these endings have been largely displaced by -em, -e, and -es, the endings of Consonant-Stems. 38. Tussis, f., Ignis, m., Hostis, c., _cough_; stem, _fire_; stem, _enemy_; stem, tussi-. igni-. hosti-. SINGULAR. TERMINATION. _Nom._ tussis ignis hostis -is _Gen._ tussis ignis hostis -is _Dat._ tussi igni hosti -i _Acc._ tussim ignem hostem -im, -em _Voc._ tussis ignis hostis -is _Abl._ tussi igni or e hoste -i, -e PLURAL. _Nom._ tusses ignes hostes -es _Gen._ tussium ignium hostium -ium _Dat._ tussibus ignibus hostibus -ibus _Acc._ tussis or -es ignis or -es hostis or -es -is, -es _Voc._ tusses ignes hostes -es _Abl._ tussibus ignibus hostibus -ibus 1. To the same class belong-- apis, _bee_. cratis, _hurdle_. +*securis, _axe_. auris, _ear_. *febris, _fever_. sementis, _sowing_. avis, _bird_. orbis, _circle_. +*sitis, _thirst_. axis, _axle_. ovis, _sheep_. torris, _brand_. *buris, _plough-beam_. pelvis, _basin_. +*turris, _tower_. clavis, _key_. puppis, _stern_. trudis, _pole_. collis, _hill_. restis, _rope_. vectis, _lever_. and many others. Words marked with a star regularly have Acc. -im; those marked with a + regularly have Abl. -i. Of the others, many at times show -im and -i. Town and river names in -is regularly have -im, -i. 2. Not all nouns in -is are i-Stems. Some are genuine consonant-stems, and have the regular consonant terminations throughout, notably, canis, _dog_; juvenis, _youth_.[14] 3. Some genuine i-Stems have become disguised in the Nominative Singular; as, pars, _part_, for par(ti)s; anas, _duck_, for ana(ti)s; so also mors, _death_; dos, _dowry_; nox, _night_; sors, _lot_; mens, _mind_; ars, _art_; gens, _tribe_; and some others. _B. Neuter i-Stems._ 39. These end in the Nominative Singular in -e, -al, and -ar. They always have -i in the Ablative Singular, -ia in the Nominative, Accusative, and Vocative Plural, and -ium in the Genitive Plural, thus holding more steadfastly to the i-character than do Masculine and Feminine i-Stems. Sedile, Animal, Calcar, _seat_; _animal_; _spur_; stem, sedili-. stem, stem, animali-. calcari-. SINGULAR. TERMINATION. _Nom._ sedile animal calcar -e or wanting _Gen._ sedilis animalis calcaris -is _Dat._ sedili animali calcari -i _Acc._ sedile animal calcar -e or wanting _Voc._ sedile animal calcar -e or wanting _Abl._ sedili animali calcari -i PLURAL. _Nom._ sedilia animalia calcaria -ia _Gen._ sedilium animalium calcarium -ium _Dat._ sedilibus animalibus calcaribus -ibus _Acc._ sedilia animalia calcaria -ia _Voc._ sedilia animalia calcaria -ia _Abl._ sedilibus animalibus calcaribus -ibus 1. In most words of this class the final -i of the stem is lost in the Nominative Singular; in others it appears as -e. 2. Proper names in -e form the Ablative Singular in -e; as, Soracte, _Mt. Soracte_; so also sometimes mare, _sea_. III. Consonant-Stems that have partially adapted themselves to the Inflection of _i_-Stems. 40. Many Consonant-Stems have so far adapted themselves to the inflection of i-stems as to take -ium in the Genitive Plural, and -is in the Accusative Plural. Their true character as Consonant-Stems, however, is shown by the fact that they never take -im in the Accusative Singular, or -i in the Ablative Singular. The following words are examples of this class:-- Caedes, f., Arx, f., Linter, f., _slaughter_; _citadel_; _skiff_; stem, caed-. stem, arc-. stem, lintr-. SINGULAR. _Nom._ caedes arx linter _Gen._ caedis arcis lintris _Dat._ caedi arci lintri _Acc._ caedem arcem lintrem _Voc._ caedes arx linter _Abl._ caede arce lintre PLURAL. _Nom._ caedes arces lintres _Gen._ caedium arcium lintrium _Dat._ caedibus arcibus lintribus _Acc._ caedes, -is arces, -is lintres, -is _Voc._ caedes arces lintres _Abl._ caedibus arcibus lintribus 1. The following classes of nouns belong here:-- a) Nouns in -es, with Genitive in -is; as, nubes, aedes, clades, etc. b) Many monosyllables in -s or -x preceded by one or more consonants; as, urbs, mons, stirps, lanx. c) Most nouns in -ns and -rs as, cliens, cohors. d) Uter, venter; fur, lis, mas, mus, nix; and the Plurals fauces, penates, Optimates, Samnites, Quirites. e) Sometimes nouns in -tas with Genitive -tatis; as, civitas, aetas. Civitas _usually_ has civitatium. IV. Stems in _-i_, _-u_, and Diphthongs. 41. Vis, f., Sus, c., Bos, c., _ox_, Juppiter, m., _force_; _swine_; _cow_; _Jupiter_; stem, vi-. stem, su-. stem, bou-. stem, Jou-. SINGULAR. _Nom._ vis sus bos Juppiter _Gen._ ---- suis bovis Jovis _Dat._ ---- sui bovi Jovi _Acc._ vim suem bovem Jovem _Voc._ vis sus bos Juppiter _Abl._ vi sue bove Jove PLURAL. _Nom._ vires sues boves _Gen._ virium suum bovum, boum _Dat._ viribus suibus, subus bobus, bubus _Acc._ vires sues boves _Voc._ vires sues boves _Abl._ viribus suibus, subus bobus, bubus 1. Notice that the oblique cases of sus have u in the root syllable. 2. Grus is declined like sus, except that the Dative and Ablative Plural are always gruibus. 3. Juppiter is for Jou-pater, and therefore contains the same stem as in Jov-is, Jov-i, etc. Navis was originally a diphthong stem ending in au-, but it has passed over to the i-stems (Sec. 37). Its ablative often ends in -i. V. Irregular Nouns. 42. Senex, m., Caro, f., Os, n., _old man_. _flesh_. _bone_. SINGULAR. _Nom._ senex caro os _Gen._ senis carnis ossis _Dat._ seni carni ossi _Acc._ senem carnem os _Voc._ senex caro os _Abl._ sene carne osse PLURAL. _Nom._ senes carnes ossa _Gen._ senum carnium ossium _Dat._ senibus carnibus ossibus _Acc._ senes carnes ossa _Voc._ senes carnes ossa _Abl._ senibus carnibus ossibus 1. Iter, itineris, n., _way_, is inflected regularly throughout from the stem itiner-. 2. Supellex, supellectilis, f., _furniture_, is confined to the Singular. The oblique cases are formed from the stem supellectil-. The ablative has both -i and -e. 3. Jecur, n., _liver_, forms its oblique cases from two stems,--jecor- and jecinor-. Thus, Gen. jecoris or jecinoris. 4. Femur, n., _thigh_, usually forms its oblique cases from the stem femor-, but sometimes from the stem femin-. Thus, Gen. femoris or feminis. General Principles of Gender in the Third Declension. 43. 1. Nouns in -o, -or, -os, -er, -es are Masculine. 2. Nouns in -as, -es, -is, -ys, -x, -s (preceded by a consonant); -do, -go (Genitive -inis); -io (abstract and collective), -us (Genitive -atis or -udis) are Feminine. 3. Nouns ending in -a, -e, -i, -y, -o, -l, -n, -t, -ar, -ur, -us are Neuter. Chief Exceptions to Gender in the Third Declension. 44. Exceptions to the Rule for Masculines. 1. Nouns in -o. a. Feminine: caro, _flesh_. 2. Nouns in -or. a. Feminine: arbor, _tree_. b. Neuter: aequor, _sea_; cor, _heart_; marmor, _marble_. 3. Nouns in -os. a. Feminine: dos, _dowry_. b. Neuter: os (oris), _mouth_. 4. Nouns in -er. a. Feminine: linter, _skiff_. b. Neuter: cadaver, _corpse_; iter, _way_; tuber, _tumor_; uber, _udder_. Also botanical names in -er; as, acer, _maple_. 5. Nouns in -es. a. Feminine: seges, _crop_. 45. Exceptions to the Rule for Feminines. 1. Nouns in -as. a. Masculine: vas, _bondsman_. b. Neuter: vas, _vessel_. 2. Nouns in -es. a. Masculine: aries, _ram_; paries, _wall_; pes, _foot_. 3. Nouns in -is. a. Masculine: all nouns in -nis and -guis; as, amnis, _river_; ignis, _fire_; panis, _bread_; sanguis, _blood_; unguis, _nail_. Also-- axis, _axle_. piscis, _fish_. collis, _hill_. postis, _post_. fascis, _bundle_. pulvis, _dust_. lapis, _stone_. orbis, _circle_. mensis, _month_. sentis, _brier_. 4. Nouns in -x. a. Masculine: apex, _peak_; codex, _tree-trunk_; grex, _flock_; imbrex, _tile_; pollex, _thumb_; vertex, _summit_; calix, _cup_. 5. Nouns in -s preceded by a consonant. a. Masculine: dens, _tooth_; fons, _fountain_; mons, _mountain_; pons, _bridge_. 6. Nouns in -do. a. Masculine: cardo, _hinge_; ordo, _order_. 46. Exceptions to the Rule for Neuters. 1. Nouns in -l. a. Masculine: sol, _sun_; sal, _salt_. 2. Nouns in -n. a. Masculine: pecten, _comb_. 3. Nouns in -ur. a. Masculine: vultur, _vulture_. 4. Nouns in -us. a. Masculine: lepus, _hare_. Greek Nouns of the Third Declension. 47. The following are the chief peculiarities of these:-- 1. The ending -a in the Accusative Singular; as, aethera, _aether_; Salamina, _Salamis_. 2. The ending -es in the Nominative Plural; as, Phryges, _Phrygians_. 3. The ending -as in the Accusative Plural; as, Phrygas, _Phrygians_. 4. Proper names in -as (Genitive -antis) have -a in the Vocative Singular; as, Atlas (Atlantis), Vocative Atla, _Atlas_. 5. Neuters in -ma (Genitive -matis) have -is instead of -ibus in the Dative and Ablative Plural; as, poematis, _poems_. 6. Orpheus, and other proper names ending in -eus, form the Vocative Singular in -eu (Orpheu, etc.). But in prose the other cases usually follow the second declension; as, Orphei, Orpheo, etc. 7. Proper names in -es, like Pericles, form the Genitive Singular sometimes in -is, sometimes in -i, as, Periclis or Pericli. 8. Feminine proper names in -o have -us in the Genitive, but -o in the other oblique cases; as,-- _Nom._ Dido _Acc._ Dido _Gen._ Didus _Voc._ Dido _Dat._ Dido _Abl._ Dido 9. The regular Latin endings often occur in Greek nouns. * * * * * FOURTH DECLENSION. _u_-Stems. 48. Nouns of the Fourth Declension end in -us Masculine, and -u Neuter. They are declined as follows:-- Fructus, m., _fruit_. Cornu, n., _horn_. SINGULAR. PLURAL. SINGULAR. PLURAL. _Nom._ fructus fructus cornu cornua _Gen._ fructus fructuum cornus cornuum _Dat._ fructui fructibus cornu cornibus _Acc._ fructum fructus cornu cornua _Voc._ fructus fructus cornu cornua _Abl._ fructu fructibus cornu cornibus Peculiarities of Nouns of the Fourth Declension. 49. 1. Nouns in -us, particularly in early Latin, often form the Genitive Singular in -i, following the analogy of nouns in -us of the Second Declension; as, senati, ornati. This is usually the case in Plautus and Terence. 2. Nouns in -us sometimes have -u in the Dative Singular, instead of -ui; as, fructu (for fructui). 3. The ending -ubus, instead of -ibus, occurs in the Dative and Ablative Plural of artus (Plural), _limbs_; tribus, _tribe_; and in dis-syllables in -cus; as, artubus, tribubus, arcubus, lacubus. But with the exception of tribus, all these words admit the forms in -ibus as well as those in -ubus. 4. Domus, _house_, is declined according to the Fourth Declension, but has also the following forms of the Second:-- domi (locative), _at home_; domo, _from home_; domum, _homewards_, _to one's home_; domos, _homewards_, _to their_ (etc.) _homes_ 5. The only Neuters of this declension in common use are: cornu, _horn_; genu, _knee_; and veru, _spit_. Exceptions to Gender in the Fourth Declension. 50. The following nouns in -us are Feminine: acus, _needle_; domus, _house_; manus, _hand_; porticus, _colonnade_; tribus, _tribe_; Idus (Plural), _Ides_; also names of trees (Sec. 15, 2). * * * * * FIFTH DECLENSION. e-Stems. 51. Nouns of the Fifth Declension end in -es, and are declined as follows:-- Dies, m., _day_. Res, f., _thing_. SINGULAR. PLURAL. SINGULAR. PLURAL. _Nom._ dies dies res res _Gen._ diei dierum rei rerum _Dat._ diei diebus rei rebus _Acc._ diem dies rem res _Voc._ dies dies res res _Abl._ die diebus re rebus Peculiarities of Nouns of the Fifth Declension. 52. 1. The ending of the Genitive and Dative Singular is -ei, instead of -ei, when a consonant precedes; as, spei, rei, fidei. 2. A Genitive ending -i (for -ei) is found in plebi (from plebes = plebs) in the expressions tribunus plebi, _tribune of the people_, and plebi scitum, _decree of the people_; sometimes also in other words. 3. A Genitive and Dative form in -e sometimes occurs; as, acie. 4. With the exception of dies and res, most nouns of the Fifth Declension are not declined in the Plural. But acies, series, species, spes, and a few others are used in the Nominative and Accusative Plural. Gender in the Fifth Declension. 53. Nouns of the Fifth Declension are regularly Feminine, except dies, _day_, and meridies, _mid-day_. But dies is sometimes Feminine in the Singular, particularly when it means an _appointed day_. * * * * * DEFECTIVE NOUNS. 54. Here belong-- 1. Nouns used in the Singular only. 2. Nouns used in the Plural only. 3. Nouns used only in certain cases. 4. Indeclinable Nouns. Nouns used in the Singular only. 55. Many nouns, from the nature of their signification, are regularly used in the Singular only. Thus:-- 1. Proper names; as, Cicero, _Cicero_; Italia, _Italy_. 2. Nouns denoting material; as, aes, _copper_; lac, _milk_. 3. Abstract nouns; as, ignorantia, _ignorance_; bonitas, _goodness_. 4. But the above classes of words are sometimes used in the Plural. Thus:-- a) Proper names,--to denote different members of a family, or specimens of a type; as, Cicerones, _the Ciceros_; Catones, _men like Cato_. b) Names of materials,--to denote objects made of the material, or different kinds of the substance; as, aera, _bronzes_ (i.e. bronze figures); ligna, _woods_. c) Abstract nouns,--to denote instances of the quality; as, ignorantiae, _cases of ignorance_. Nouns used in the Plural only. 56. Here belong-- 1. Many geographical names; as, Thebae, _Thebes_; Leuctra, _Leuctra_; Pompeji, _Pompeii_. 2. Many names of festivals; as, Megalesia, _the Megalesian festival_. 3. Many special words, of which the following are the most important:-- angustiae, _narrow pass_. manes, _spirits of the arma, _weapons_. dead_. deliciae, _delight_. moenia, _city walls_. divitiae, _riches_. minae, _threats_. Idus, _Ides_. nuptiae, _marriage_. indutiae, _truce_. posteri, _descendants_. insidiae, _ambush_. reliquiae, _remainder_. majores, _ancestors_. tenebrae, _darkness_. verbera, _blows_. Also in classical prose regularly-- cervices, _neck_. nares, _nose_. fides, _lyre_. viscera, _viscera_. Nouns used only in Certain Cases. 57. 1. Used in only One Case. Many nouns of the Fourth Declension are found only in the Ablative Singular as, jussu, _by the order_; injussu, _without the order_; natu, _by birth_. 2. Used in Two Cases. a. Fors (_chance_), Nom. Sing.; forte, Abl. Sing. b. Spontis (_free-will_), Gen. Sing.; sponte, Abl. Sing. 3. Used in Three Cases. Nemo, _no one_ (Nom.), has also the Dat. nemini and the Acc. neminem. The Gen. and Abl. are supplied by the corresponding cases of nullus; viz. nullius and nullo. 4. Impetus has the Nom., Acc., and Abl. Sing., and the Nom. and Acc. Plu.; viz. impetus, impetum, impetu, impetus. 5. a. Preci, precem, prece, lacks the Nom. and Gen. Sing. b. Vicis, vicem, vice, lacks the Nom. and Dat. Sing. 6. Opis, dapis, and frugis,--all lack the Nom. Sing. 7. Many monosyllables of the Third Declension lack the Gen. Plu.: as, cor, lux, sol, aes, os (oris), rus, sal, tus. Indeclinable Nouns. 58. Here belong-- fas, n., _right_. nefas, n., _impiety_. instar, n., _likeness_. nihil, n., _nothing_. mane, n., _morning_. secus, n., _sex_. 1. With the exception of mane (which may serve also as Ablative, _in the morning_), the nouns in this list are simply Neuters confined in use to the Nominative and Accusative Singular. Heteroclites. 59. These are nouns whose forms are partly of one declension, and partly of another. Thus:-- 1. Several nouns have the entire Singular of one declension, while the Plural is of another; as,-- vas, vasis (_vessel_); Plu., vasa, vasoroum, vasis, etc. jugerum, jugeri (_acre_); Plu., jugera, jugerum, jugeribus, etc. 2. Several nouns, while belonging in the main to one declension, have certain special forms belonging to another. Thus:-- a) Many nouns of the First Declension ending in -ia take also a Nom. and Acc. of the Fifth; as, materies, materiem, _material_, as well as materia, materiam. b) Fames, _hunger_, regularly of the Third Declension, has the Abl. fame of the Fifth. c) Requies, requietis, _rest_, regularly of the Third Declension, takes an Acc. of the Fifth, requiem, in addition to requietem. d) Besides plebs, plebis, _common people_, of the Third Declension, we find plebes, plebei (also plebi, see Sec. 52, 2), of the Fifth. Heterogeneous Nouns. 60. Heterogeneous nouns vary in Gender. Thus:-- 1. Several nouns of the Second Declension have two forms,--one Masc. in -us, and one Neuter in -um; as, clipeus, clipeum, _shield_; carrus, carrum, _cart_. 2. Other nouns have one gender in the Singular, another in the Plural; as,-- SINGULAR. PLURAL. balneum, n., _bath_; balneae, f., _bath-house_. epulum, n., _feast_; epulae, f., _feast_. frenum, n., _bridle_; freni, m.(rarely frena, n.), _bridle_. jocus, m., _jest_; joca, n. (also joci, m.), _jests_. locus, m., _place_; loca, n., _places_; loci, m., _passages or topics in an author_. rastrum, n., _rake_; rastri, m.; rastra, n., _rakes_. a. Heterogeneous nouns may at the same time be heteroclites, as in case of the first two examples above. Plurals with Change of Meaning. 61. The following nouns have one meaning in the Singular, and another in the Plural:-- SINGULAR. PLURAL. aedes, _temple_; aedes, _house_. auxilium, _help_; auxilia, _auxiliary troops_. carcer, _prison_; carceres, _stalls for racing-chariot_. castrum, _fort_; castra, _camp_. copia, _abundance_; copiae, _troops_, _resources_. finis, _end_; fines, _borders_, _territory_. fortuna, _fortune_; fortunae, _possessions_, _wealth_. gratia, _favor_, gratiae, _thanks_. _gratitude_; impedimentum, impedimenta, _baggage_. _hindrance_; littera, _letter_ (of the litterae, _epistle; literature_. alphabet); mos, _habit_, _custom_; mores, _character_. opera, _help_, _service_; operae, _laborers_. (ops) opis, _help_; opes, _resources_. pars, _part_; partes, _party_; _role_. sal, _salt_; sales, _wit_. * * * * * B. ADJECTIVES. 62. Adjectives denote _quality_. They are declined like nouns, and fall into two classes,-- 1. Adjectives of the First and Second Declensions. 2. Adjectives of the Third Declension. * * * * * ADJECTIVES OF THE FIRST AND SECOND DECLENSIONS. 63. In these the Masculine is declined like hortus, puer, or ager, the Feminine like porta, and the Neuter like bellum. Thus, Masculine like hortus:-- Bonus, _good_. SINGULAR. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. _Nom._ bonus bona bonum _Gen._ boni bonae boni _Dat._ bono bonae bono _Acc._ bonum bonam bonum _Voc._ bone bona bonum _Abl._ bono bona bono PLURAL. _Nom._ boni bonae bona _Gen._ bonorum bonarum bonorum _Dat._ bonis bonis bonis _Acc._ bonos bonas bona _Voc._ boni bonae bona _Abl._ bonis bonis bonis 1. The Gen. Sing. Masc. and Neut. of Adjectives in -ius ends in -ii (not in -i as in case of Nouns; see Sec. 25, 1; 2). So also the Voc. Sing. of such Adjectives ends in -ie, not in i. Thus eximius forms Gen. eximii; Voc. eximie. 2. Distributives (see Sec. 78, 1, c) regularly form the Gen. Plu. Masc. and Neut. in -um instead of -orum (compare Sec. 25, 6); as, denum centenum; but always singulorum. 64. Masculine like puer:-- Tener, _tender_. SINGULAR. MASCULINE. FEMININE NEUTER. _Nom._ tener tenera tenerum _Gen._ teneri tenerae teneri _Dat._ tenero tenerae tenero _Acc._ tenerum teneram tenerum _Voc._ tener tenera tenerum _Abl._ tenero tenera tenero PLURAL. _Nom._ teneri tenerae tenera _Gen._ tenerorum tenerarum tenerorum _Dat._ teneris teneris teneris _Acc._ teneros teneras tenera _Voc._ teneri tenerae tenera _Abl._ teneris teneris teneris 65. Masculine like ager:-- Sacer, _sacred_. SINGULAR. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. _Nom._ sacer sacra sacrum _Gen._ sacri sacrae sacri _Dat._ sacro sacrae sacro _Acc._ sacrum sacram sacrum _Voc._ sacer sacra sacrum _Abl._ sacro sacra sacro PLURAL. _Nom._ sacri sacrae sacra _Gen._ sacrorum sacrarum sacrorum _Dat._ sacris sacris sacris _Acc._ sacros sacras sacra _Voc._ sacri sacrae sacra _Abl._ sacris sacris sacris 1. Most adjectives in -er are declined like sacer. The following however, are declined like tener: asper, _rough_; lacer, _torn_; liber, _free_; miser, _wretched_; prosper, _prosperous_; compounds in -fer and -ger; sometimes dexter, _right_. 2. Satur, _full_, is declined: satur, satura, saturum. Nine Irregular Adjectives. 66. Here belong-- alius, _another_; alter, _the other_; ullus, _any_; nullus, _none_; uter, _which?_ (of two); neuter, _neither_; solus, _alone_; totus, _whole_; unus, _one_, _alone_. They are declined as follows:-- SINGULAR. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. _Nom._ alius alia aliud _Gen._ alterius alterius alterius[15] _Dat._ alii alii alii _Acc._ alium aliam aliud _Voc._ ---- ---- ---- _Abl._ alio alia alio _Nom._ alter altera alterum _Gen._ alterius alterius alterius _Dat._ alteri alteri[16] alteri _Acc._ alterum alteram alterum _Voc._ ---- ---- ---- _Abl._ altero altera altero _Nom._ uter utra utrum _Gen._ utrius utrius utrius _Dat._ utri utri utri _Acc._ utrum utram utrum _Voc._ ---- ---- ---- _Abl._ utro utra utro _Nom._ totus tota totum _Gen._ totius totius totius _Dat._ toti toti toti _Acc._ totum totam totum _Voc._ ---- ---- ---- _Abl._ toto tota toto 1. All these words lack the Vocative. The Plural is regular. 2. Neuter is declined like uter. * * * * * ADJECTIVES OF THE THIRD DECLENSION. 67. These fall into three classes,-- 1. Adjectives of three terminations in the Nominative Singular,--one for each gender. 2. Adjectives of two terminations. 3. Adjectives of one termination. a. With the exception of Comparatives, and a few other words mentioned below in Sec. 70, 1, all Adjectives of the Third Declension follow the inflection of i-stems; i.e. they have the Ablative Singular in -i, the Genitive Plural in -ium, the Accusative Plural in -is (as well as -es) in the Masculine and Feminine, and the Nominative and Accusative Plural in -ia in Neuters. Adjectives of Three Terminations. 68. These are declined as follows:-- Acer, _sharp_. SINGULAR. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. _Nom._ acer acris acre _Gen._ acris acris acris _Dat._ acri acri acri _Acc._ acrem acrem acre _Voc._ acer acris acre _Abl._ acri acri acri PLURAL. _Nom._ acres acres acria _Gen._ acrium acrium acrium _Dat_, acribus acribus acribus _Acc._ acres, -is acres, -is acria _Voc._ acres acres acria _Abl._ acribus acribus acribus 1. Like acer are declined alacer, _lively_; campester, _level_; celeber, _famous_; equester, _equestrian_; paluster, _marshy_; pedester, _pedestrian_; puter, _rotten_; saluber, _wholesome_; silvester, _woody_; terrester, _terrestrial_; volucer, _winged_; also names of months in -ber, as September. 2. Celer, celeris, celere, _swift_, retains the e before r, but lacks the Genitive Plural. 3. In the Nominative Singular of Adjectives of this class the Feminine form is sometimes used for the Masculine. This is regularly true of salubris, silvestris, and terrestris. In case of the other words in the list, the use of the Feminine for the Masculine is confined chiefly to early and late Latin, and to poetry. Adjectives of Two Terminations. 69. These are declined as follows:-- Fortis, _strong._ Fortior, _stronger._ SINGULAR. M. AND F. NEUT. M. AND F. NEUT. _Nom._ fortis forte fortior fortius _Gen._ fortis fortis fortioris fortioris _Dat._ forti forti fortiori fortiori _Acc._ fortem forte fortiorem fortius _Voc._ fortis forte fortior fortius _Abl._ forti forti fortiore fortiore PLURAL. _Nom._ fortes fortia fortiores fortiora _Gen._ fortium fortium fortiorum fortiorum _Dat._ fortibus fortibus fortioribus fortioribus _Acc._ fortes, -is fortia fortiores, -is fortiora _Voc._ fortes fortia fortiores fortiora _Abl._ fortibus fortibus fortioribus fortioribus 1. Fortior is the Comparative of fortis. All Comparatives are regularly declined in the same way. The Acc. Plu. in -is is rare. Adjectives of One Termination. 70. Felix, _happy._. Prudens, _prudent._ SINGULAR. M. AND F. NEUT. M. AND F. NEUT. _Nom._ felix felix prudens prudens _Gen._ felicis felicis prudentis prudentis _Dat._ felici felici prudenti prudenti _Acc._ felicem felix prudentem prudens _Voc._ felix felix prudens prudens _Abl._ felici felici prudenti prudenti PLURAL. _Nom._ felices felicia prudentes prudentia _Gen._ felicium felicium prudentium prudentium _Dat._ felicibus felicibus prudentibus prudentibus _Acc._ felices, -is felicia prudentes, -is prudentia _Voc._ felices felicia prudentes prudentia _Abl._ felicibus felicibus prudentibus prudentibus Vetus, _old_. Plus, _more_. SINGULAR. M. AND F. NEUT. M. AND F. NEUT. _Nom._ vetus vetus ---- plus _Gen._ veteris veteris ---- pluris _Dat._ veteri veteri ---- ---- _Acc._ veterem vetus ---- plus _Voc._ vetus vetus ---- ---- _Abl._ vetere vetere ---- plure PLURAL. _Nom._ veteres vetera plures plura _Gen._ veterum veterum plurium plurium _Dat._ veteribus veteribus pluribus pluribus _Acc._ veteres vetera plures, -is plura _Voc._ veteres vetera ---- ---- _Abl._ veteribus veteribus pluribus pluribus 1. It will be observed that vetus is declined as a pure Consonant-Stem; i.e. Ablative Singular in -e, Genitive Plural in -um, Nominative Plural Neuter in -a, and Accusative Plural Masculine and Feminine in -es only. In the same way are declined compos, _controlling_; dives, _rich_; particeps, _sharing_; pauper, _poor_; princeps, _chief_; sospes, _safe_; superstes, _surviving_. Yet dives always has Neut. Plu. ditia. 2. Inops, _needy_, and memor, _mindful_, have Ablative Singular inopi, memori, but Genitive Plural inopum, memorum. 3. Participles in -ans and -ens follow the declension of i-stems. But they do not have -i the Ablative, except when employed as adjectives; when used as participles or as substantives, they have -e; as,-- a sapienti viro, _by a wise man_; but a sapiente, _by a philosopher._ Tarquinio regnante, _under the reign of Tarquin._ 4. Plus, in the Singular, is always a noun. 5. In the Ablative Singular, adjectives, when used as substantives,-- a) usually retain the adjective declension; as,-- aequalis, _contemporary_, Abl. aequali. consularis, _ex-consul_, Abl. consulari So names of Months; as, Aprili, _April_; Decembri, _December_. b) But adjectives used as proper names have -e in the Ablative Singular; as, Celere, Celer; Juvenale, _Juvenal_. c) Patrials in -as, -atis and -is, -itis, when designating places regularly have -i; as, in Arpinati, _on the estate at Arpinum_, yet -e, when used of persons; as, ab Arpinate, _by an Arpinatian_. 6. A very few indeclinable adjectives occur, the chief of which are frugi, _frugal_; nequam, _worthless_. 7. In poetry, adjectives and participles in -ns sometimes form the Gen. Plu. in -um instead of -ium; as, venientum, _of those coming_. * * * * * COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES. 71. 1. There are three degrees of Comparison,--the Positive, the Comparative, and the Superlative. 2. The Comparative is regularly formed by adding -ior (Neut. -ius), and the Superlative by adding -issimus (-a, -um), to the Stem of the Positive deprived of its final vowel; as,-- altus, _high_, altior, _higher_, altissimus, _highest_, _very high_. fortis, _brave_, fortior, fortissimus. felix, _fortunate_, felicior, felicissimus. So also Participles, when used as Adjectives; as,-- doctus, _learned_, doctior, doctissimus. egens, _needy_, egentior, egentissimus. 3. Adjectives in -er form the Superlative by appending -rimus to the Nominative of the Positive. The Comparative is regular. Thus:-- asper, _rough_, asperior, asperrimus. pulcher, _beautiful_, pulchrior, pulcherrimus. acer, _sharp_, acrior, acerrimus. celer, _swift_, celerior, celerrimus. a. Notice maturus, maturior, maturissimus or maturrimus. 4. Five Adjectives in -ilis form the Superlative by adding -limus to the Stem of the Positive deprived of its final vowel. The Comparative is regular. Thus:-- facilis, _easy_, facilior, facillimus. difficilis, _diffcult_, difficilior, difficillimus. similis, _like_, similior, simillimus. dissimilis, _unlike_, dissimilior, dissimillimus. humilis, _low_, humilior, humillimus. 5. Adjectives in -dicus, -ficus, and -volus form the Comparative and Superlative as though from forms in -dicens, -ficens, -volens. Thus:-- maledicus, _slanderous_, maledicentior, maledicentissimus. magnificus, _magnificent_, magnificentior, magnificentissimus. benevolus, _kindly_, benevolentior, benevolentissimus. a. Positives in -dicens and -volens occur in early Latin; as maledicens, benevolens. 6. Dives has the Comparative divitior or ditior; Superlative divitissimus or ditissimus. Irregular Comparison. 72. Several Adjectives vary the Stem in Comparison; _viz_.-- bonus, _good_, melior, optimus. malus, _bad_, pejor, pessimus. parvus, _small_, minor, minimus. magnus, _large_, major, maximus. multus, _much_, plus, plurimus, frugi, _thrifty_, frugalior, frugalissimus, nequam, _worthless_, nequior, nequissimus. Defective Comparison. 73. 1. Positive lacking entirely,-- (Cf. prae, _in front prior, _former_, primus, _first_ of_.) (Cf. citra, _this side citerior, _on this citimus, _near_. of_.) side_, (Cf. ultra, _beyond_.) ulterior, _farther_, ultimus, _farthest_. (Cf. intra, _within_.) interior, _inner_, intimus, _inmost_ (Cf. prope, _near_.) propior, _nearer_, proximus, _nearest_. (Cf. de, _down_.) deterior, _inferior_, deterrimus, _worst_. (Cf. archaic potis, potior, _preferable_, potissimus, _chiefest_ _possible_.) 2. Positive occurring only in special cases,-- postero die, anno, posterior, _later_, postremus, _latest_, etc. _the following _last_. day_, etc., postumus, _late-born_, posteri, _posthumous_. _descendants_, exteri, exterior, _outer_ extremus, extimus, _foreigners_, _outermost_. nationes exterae, _foreign nations_, inferi, _gods of the inferior, _lower_, infimus, imus, lower world_, _lowest_. Mare Inferum, _Mediterranean Sea_, superi, _gods superior, _higher_, supremus, _last_. above_, summus, _highest_. Mare Superum, _Adriatic Sea_, 3. Comparative lacking. vetus, _old_, ----[17] veterrimus. fidus, _faithful_, ---- fidissimus. novus, _new_, ----[18] novissimus,[19] _last_. sacer, _sacred_, ---- sacerrimus. falsus, _false_, ---- falsissimus. Also in some other words less frequently used. 4. Superlative lacking. alacer, _lively_, alacrior, ---- ingens, _great_, ingentior, ---- salutaris, _wholesome_, salutarior, ---- juvenis, _young_, junior, ----[20] senex, _old_, senior. ----[21] a. The Superlative is lacking also in many adjectives in -alis, -ilis, -ilis, -bilis, and in a few others. Comparison by _Magis_ and _Maxime_. 74. Many adjectives do not admit terminational comparison, but form the Comparative and Superlative degrees by prefixing magis (_more_) and maxime (_most_). Here belong-- 1. Many adjectives ending in -alis, -aris, -idus, -ilis, -icus, imus, inus, -orus. 2. Adjectives in -us, preceded by a vowel; as, idoneus, _adapted_; arduus, _steep_; necessarius, _necessary_. a. Adjectives in -quus, of course, do not come under this rule. The first u in such cases is not a vowel, but a consonant. Adjectives not admitting Comparison. 75. Here belong-- 1. Many adjectives, which, from the nature of their signification, do not admit of comparison; as, hodiernus, _of to-day_; annuus, _annual_; mortalis, _mortal_. 2. Some special words; as, mirus, gnarus, merus; and a few others. * * * * * FORMATION AND COMPARISON OF ADVERBS. 76. Adverbs are for the most part derived from adjectives, and depend upon them for their comparison. 1. Adverbs derived from adjectives of the First and Second Declensions form the Positive by changing -i of the Genitive Singular to -e; those derived from adjectives of the Third Declension, by changing -is of the Genitive Singular to -iter; as,-- carus, care, _dearly_; pulcher, pulchre, _beautifully_; acer, acriter, _fiercely_; levis, leviter, _lightly_. a. But Adjectives in -ns, and a few others, add -er (instead of -iter), to form the Adverb; as,-- sapiens, sapienter, _wisely_; sollers, sollerter, _skillfully_. Note audax, audacter, _boldly_. 2. The Comparative of all Adverbs regularly consists of the Accusative Singular Neuter of the Comparative of the Adjective; while the Superlative of the Adverb is formed by changing the -i of the Genitive Singular of the Superlative of the Adjective to -e. Thus-- (carus) care, _dearly_, carius, carissime. (pulcher) pulchre, _beautifully_, pulchrius, pulcherrime. (acer) acriter, _fiercely_, acrius, acerrime. (levis) leviter, _lightly_, levius, levissime. (sapiens) sapienter, _wisely_, sapientius, sapientissime. (audax) audacter, _boldly_, audacius, audacissime. Adverbs Peculiar in Comparison and Formation. 77. 1., _well_, melius, optime. male, _ill_, pejus, pessime. magnopere, _greatly_, magis, maxime. multum, _much_, plus, plurimum. non multum, _little_, minus, minime. parum, diu, _long_, diutius, diutissime. nequiter, _worthlessly_, nequius, nequissime. saepe, _often_, saepius, saepissime. mature, _betimes_, maturius, maturrime. maturissime. prope, _near_, propius, proxime. nuper, _recently_, ---- nuperrime. ---- potius, _rather_, potissimum, _especially_. ---- prius, _previously_, primum, _first_. _before_, secus, _otherwise_, setius, _less_. 2. A number of adjectives of the First and Second Declensions form an Adverb in -o, instead of -e; as,-- crebro, _frequently_; falso, _falsely_; continuo, subito, _suddenly_; _immediately_; raro, _rarely_, and a few others. a. cito, quickly, has -o. 3. A few adjectives employ the Accusative Singular Neuter as the Positive of the Adverb; as,-- multum, _much_; paulum, facile, _little_; _easily_. 4. A few adjectives of the First and Second Declensions form the Positive in -iter; as,-- firmus, firmiter, _firmly_; humanus, humaniter, _humanly_; largus, largiter, _copiously_; alius, aliter, _otherwise_. a. violentus has violenter. 5. Various other adverbial suffixes occur, the most important of which are -tus and -tim; as, antiquitus, _anciently_; paulatim, _gradually_. * * * * * NUMERALS. 78. Numerals may be divided into-- I. Numeral Adjectives, comprising-- a. _Cardinals_; as, unus, _one_; duo, _two_; etc. b. _Ordinals_; as, primus, _first_; secundus, _second_; etc. c. _Distributives_; as, singuli, _one by one_; bini, _two by two_; etc. II. Numeral Adverbs; as, semel, _once_; bis, _twice_; etc. 79. TABLE OF NUMERAL ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS. CARDINALS.

Declension of the Cardinals. 80. 1. The declension of unus has already been given under Sec. 66. 2. Duo is declined as follows:-- _Nom._ duo duae duo _Gen._ duorum duarum duorum _Dat._ duobus duabus duobus _Acc._ duos, duo duas duo _Abl._ duobus duabus duobus a. So ambo, _both_, except that its final o is long. 3. Tres is declined,-- _Nom._ tres tria _Gen._ trium trium _Dat._ tribus tribus _Acc._ tres (tris) tria _Abl._ tribus tribus 4. The hundreds (except centum) are declined like the Plural of bonus. 5. Mille is regularly an adjective in the Singular, and indeclinable. In the Plural it is a substantive (followed by the Genitive of the objects enumerated; Sec. 201, 1), and is declined,-- _Nom._ milia _Acc._ milia _Gen._ milium _Voc._ milia _Dat._ milibus _Abl._ milibus Thus mille homines, _a thousand men_; but duo milia hominum, _two thousand men_, literally _two thousands of men_. a. Occasionally the Singular admits the Genitive construction; as, mille hominum. 6. Other Cardinals are indeclinable. Ordinals and Distributives are declined like Adjectives of the First and Second Declensions. Peculiarities in the Use of Numerals. 81. 1. The compounds from 21 to 99 may be expressed either with the larger or the smaller numeral first. In the latter case, et is used. Thus:-- triginta sex or sex et triginta, _thirty-six_. 2. The numerals under 90, ending in 8 and 9, are often expressed by subtraction; as,-- duodeviginti, _eighteen_ (but also octodecim); undequadraginta, _thirty-nine_ (but also triginta novem or novem et triginta). 3. Compounds over 100 regularly have the largest number first; the others follow without et; as,-- centum viginti septem, _one hundred and twenty-seven_. anno octingentesimo octogesimo secundo, _in the year 882_. Yet et may be inserted where the smaller number is either a digit or one of the tens; as,-- centum et septem, _one hundred and seven_; centum et quadraginta, _one hundred and forty_. 4. The Distributives are used-- a) To denote _so much each_, _so many apiece_; as,-- bina talenta eis dedit, _he gave them two talents each_. b) When those nouns that are ordinarily Plural in form, but Singular in meaning, are employed in a Plural sense; as,-- binae litterae, _two epistles_. But in such cases, uni (not singuli) is regularly employed for _one_, and trini (not terni) for three; as,-- unae litterae, _one epistle_; trinae litterae, _three epistles_. c) In multiplication; as,-- bis bina sunt quattuor, _twice two are four_. d) Often in poetry, instead of the cardinals; as,-- bina hastilia, _two spears_. * * * * * C. PRONOUNS. 82. A Pronoun is a word that indicates something without naming it. 83. There are the following classes of pronouns:-- I. Personal. V. Intensive. II. Reflexive. VI. Relative. III. Possessive. VII. Interrogative. IV. Demonstrative. VIII. Indefinite. I. PERSONAL PRONOUNS. 84. These correspond to the English _I_, _you_, _he_, _she_, _it_, etc., and are declined as follows:-- First Person. Second Person. Third Person. SINGULAR. _Nom._ ego, _I_ tu, _thou_ is, _he_; ea, _she_; id, _it_ _Gen._ mei tui (For declension see Sec. 87.) _Dat._ mihi[22] tibi[22] _Acc._ me te _Voc._ ---- tu _Abl._ me te PLURAL. _Nom._ nos, _we_ vos, _you_ _Gen._ nostrum, nostri vestrum, vestri _Dat._ nobis vobis _Acc._ nos vos _Voc._ ---- vos _Abl._ nobis vobis 1. A Dative Singular mi occurs in poetry. 2. Emphatic forms in -met are occasionally found; as, egomet, _I myself_; tibimet, _to you yourself_; tu has tute and tutemet (written also tutimet). 3. In early Latin, med and ted occur as Accusative and Ablative forms. * * * * * II. REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS. 85. These refer to the subject of the sentence or clause in which they stand; like _myself_, _yourself_, in '_I see myself_,' etc. They are declined as follows:-- _First Person._ _Second Person._ _Third Person._ Supplied by oblique Supplied by oblique cases of ego. cases of tu. _Gen._ mei, _of myself_ tui, _of thyself_ sui _Dat._ mihi, _to myself_ tibi, _to thyself_ sibi[22] _Acc._ me, _myself_ te, _thyself_ se or sese _Voc._ ---- ---- ---- _Abl._ me, _with myself_, te, _with thyself_, se or sese etc. etc. 1. The Reflexive of the Third Person serves for _all genders_ and for _both numbers_. Thus sui may mean, _of himself_, _herself_, _itself_, or _of themselves_; and so with the other forms. 2. All of the Reflexive Pronouns have at times a _reciprocal_ force; as,-- inter se pugnant, _they fight with each other_. 3. In early Latin, sed occurs as Accusative and Ablative. * * * * * III. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS. 86. These are strictly adjectives of the First and Second Declensions, and are inflected as such. They are-- _First Person._ _Second Person._ meus, -a, -um, _my_; tuus, -a, -um, _thy_; noster, nostra, nostrum, vester, vestra, vestrum, _our_; _your_; _Third Person._ suus, -a, -um, _his_, _her_, _its_, _their_. 1. Suus is exclusively Reflexive; as,-- pater liberos suos amat, _the father loves his children_. Otherwise, _his_, _her_, _its_ are regularly expressed by the Genitive Singular of is, viz. ejus; and _their_ by the Genitive Plural, eorum, earum. 2. The Vocative Singular Masculine of meus is mi. 3. The enclitic -pte may be joined to the Ablative Singular of the Possessive Pronouns for the purpose of emphasis. This is particularly common in case of suo, sua; as, suopte, suapte. * * * * * IV. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS. 87. These point out an object as here or there, or as previously mentioned. They are-- hic, _this_ (where I am); iste, _that_ (where you are); ille, _that_ (something distinct from the speaker); is, _that_ (weaker than ille); idem, _the same_. Hic, iste, and ille are accordingly the Demonstratives of the First, Second, and Third Persons respectively. Hic, _this_. SINGULAR PLURAL. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. _Nom._ hic haec hoc hi hae haec _Gen._ hujus[23] hujus hujus horum harum horum _Dat._ huic huic huic his his his _Acc._ hunc hanc hoc hos has haec _Abl._ hoc hac hoc his his his Iste, _that_, _that of yours._ SINGULAR.

Plu. Masc. also has idem, and the Dat. Abl. Plu. isdem or iisdem * * * * * V. THE INTENSIVE PRONOUN. 88. The Intensive Pronoun in Latin is ipse. It corresponds to the English _myself_, etc., in '_I myself_, _he himself._' SINGULAR PLURAL. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. _Nom._ ipse ipsa ipsum ipsi ipsae ipsa _Gen._ ipsius ipsius ipsius ipsorum ipsarum ipsorum _Dat._ ipsi ipsi ipsi ipsis ipsis ipsis _Acc._ ipsum ipsam ipsum ipsos ipsas ipsa _Abl._ ipso ipsa ipso ipsis ipsis ipsis * * * * * VI. THE RELATIVE PRONOUN. 89. The Relative Pronoun is qui, who. It is declined:-- SINGULAR PLURAL. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. MASCULINE. FEMININE. NEUTER. _Nom._ qui quae quod qui quae quae _Gen._ cujus cujus cujus quorum quarum quorum _Dat._ cui cui cui quibus[26] quibus quibus _Acc._ quem quam quod quos quas quae _Abl._ quo[27] qua[27] quo quibus[26] quibus quibus * * * * * VII. INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS. 90. The Interrogative Pronouns are quis, _who?_ (substantive) and qui, _what? what kind of?_ (adjective). 1. Quis, _who_? SINGULAR. PLURAL. MASC. AND FEM. NEUTER _Nom._ quis quid The rare Plural _Gen._ cujus cujus follows the declension _Dat._ cui cui of the Relative Pronoun. _Acc._ quem quid _Abl._ quo quo 2. Qui, _what? what kind of?_ is declined precisely like the Relative Pronoun; viz. qui, quae, quod, etc. a. An old Ablative qui occurs, in the sense of _how? why?_ b. Qui is sometimes used for quis in Indirect Questions. c. Quis, when limiting words denoting persons, is sometimes an adjective. But in such cases quis homo = _what man?_ whereas qui homo = _what sort of man?_ d. Quis and qui may be strengthened by adding -nam. Thus:-- Substantive: quisnam, _who, pray?_ quidnam, _what, pray?_ Adjective: quinam, quaenam, quodnam, _of what kind, pray?_ * * * * * VIII. INDEFINITE PRONOUNS. 91. These have the general force of _some one_, _any one_. SUBSTANTIVES. ADJECTIVES. M. AND F. NEUT. MASC. FEM. NEUT. quis, quid, qui, quae, qua, quod, _any one_, _anything_. _any_. aliquis, aliquid, aliqui, aliqua, aliquod, _some one_, _any_. _something_. quisquam, quidquam, quisquam, quidquam, _any one_, _anything_. _any_ (rare) quispiam, quidpiam, quispiam, quaepiam, quodpiam, _any one_, _anything_. _any_. quisque, quidque, quisque, quaeque, quodque, _each_. _each_. quivis, quaevis, quidvis, quivis, quaevis, quodvis, quilibet, quaelibet, quidlibet quilibet, quaelibet, quodlibet, _any one_ (_anything_) _any you wish_ _you wish_ quidam, quaedam, quiddam, quidam, quaedam, quoddam, _a certain person_, or _a certain_ _thing_. 1. In the Indefinite Pronouns, only the pronominal part is declined. Thus: Genitive Singular alicujus, cujuslibet, etc. 2. Note that aliqui has aliqua in the Nominative Singular Feminine, also in the Nominative and Accusative Plural Neuter. Qui has both qua and quae in these same cases. 3. Quidam forms Accusative Singular quendam, quandam; Genitive Plural quorundam, quarundam; the m being assimilated to n before d. 4. Aliquis may be used adjectively, and (occasionally) aliqui substantively. 5. In combination with ne, si, nisi, num, either quis or qui may stand as a Substantive. Thus: si quis or si qui. 6. Ecquis, _any one_, though strictly an Indefinite, generally has interrogative force. It has both substantive and adjective forms,--substantive, ecquis, ecquid; adjective, ecqui, ecquae and ecqua, ecquod. 7. Quisquam is not used in the Plural. 8. There are two Indefinite Relatives,--quicumque and quisquis, _whoever_. Quicumque declines only the first part; quisquis declines both but has only quisquis, quidquid, quoquo, in common use. * * * * * PRONOMINAL ADJECTIVES. 92. The following adjectives, also, frequently have pronominal force:-- 1. alius, _another;_ alter, _the other;_ uter, _which of two?_ (interr.); neuter, _neither;_ _whichever of two_ (rel.); unus, _one_; nullus, _no one_ (in oblique cases) 2. The compounds,-- uterque, utraque, utrumque, _each of two;_ utercumque, utracumque, utrumcumque, _whoever of two;_ uterlibet, utralibet, utrumlibet, _either one you please;_ utervis, utravis, utrumvis, _either one you please;_ alteruter, alterutra, alterutrum, _the one or the other_. In these, uter alone is declined. The rest of the word remains unchanged, except in case of alteruter, which may decline both parts; as,-- _Nom._ alteruter altera utra alterum utrum _Gen._ alterius utrius, etc. * * * * * CHAPTER II.--_Conjugation._ 93. A Verb is a word which asserts something; as, est, _he is_; amat, _he loves_. The Inflection of Verbs is called Conjugation. 94. Verbs have Voice, Mood, Tense, Number, and Person:-- 1. Two Voices,--Active and Passive. 2. Three Moods,--Indicative, Subjunctive, Imperative. 3. Six Tenses,-- Present, Perfect, Imperfect, Pluperfect, Future, Future Perfect. But the Subjunctive lacks the Future and Future Perfect; while the Imperative employs only the Present and Future. 4. Two Numbers,--Singular and Plural. 5. Three Persons,--First, Second, and Third. 95. These make up the so-called _Finite Verb_. Besides this, we have the following Noun and Adjective Forms:-- 1. Noun Forms,--Infinitive, Gerund, and Supine. 2. Adjective Forms,--Participles (including the Gerundive). 96. The Personal Endings of the Verb are,-- Active. Passive. _Sing_. 1. -o; -m; -i (Perf. Ind.); -r. 2. -s; -sti (Perf Ind.); -ris, -re; -to or wanting (Impv.); -re, -tor (Impv.). 3. -t; -to (Impv.); -tur; -tor (Impv.). _Plu_. 1. -mus; -mur. 2. -tis; -stis (Perf. Ind.); -mini. -te, -tote (Impv.); 3. -nt; -erunt (Perf Ind.); -ntur; -ntor (Impv.). -nto (Impv.); VERB STEMS. 97. Conjugation consists in appending certain endings to the Stem. We distinguish three different stems in a fully inflected verb,-- I. Present Stem, from which are formed-- 1. Present, Imperfect, and Future Indicative, 2. Present and Imperfect Subjunctive, 3. The Imperative, 4. The Present Infinitive, - (Active and Passive.) 5. The Present Active Participle, the Gerund, and Gerundive. II. Perfect Stem, from which are formed-- 1. Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Perfect Indicative, 2. Perfect and Pluperfect Subjunctive, 3. Perfect Infinitive, - (Active.) III. Participial Stem, from which are formed-- 1. Perfect Participle, 2. Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Perfect Indicative, 3. Perfect and Pluperfect Subjunctive, 4. Perfect Infinitive, - (Passive.) Apparently from the same stem, though really of different origin, are the Supine, the Future Active Participle, the Future Infinitive Active and Passive. THE FOUR CONJUGATIONS. 98. There are in Latin four regular Conjugations, distinguished from each other by the vowel of the termination of the Present Infinitive Active, as follows:-- INFINITIVE DISTINGUISHING CONJUGATION. TERMINATION. VOWEL. I. -are a II. -ere e III. -ere e IV. -ire i 99. PRINCIPAL PARTS. The Present Indicative, Present Infinitive, Perfect Indicative, and the Perfect Participle[28] constitute the Principal Parts of a Latin verb,--so called because they contain the different stems, from which the full conjugation of the verb may be derived. * * * * * CONJUGATION OF SUM. 100. The irregular verb sum is so important for the conjugation of all other verbs that its inflection is given at the outset. PRINCIPAL PARTS. PRES. IND. PRES. INF. PERF. IND. FUT.

Semi-Deponents are verbs which have the Present System in the Active Voice, but the Perfect System in the Passive without change of meaning. Here belong-- audeo, audere, ausus sum, _to dare_. gaudeo, gaudere, gavisus sum, _to rejoice_. soleo, solere, solitus sum, _to be wont_. fido, fidere, fisus sum, _to trust_. 2. The following verbs have a Perfect Passive Participle with Active meaning:-- adolesco, _grow up_; adultus, _having grown up_, cenare, _dine_; cenatus, _having dined_. placere, _please_; placitus, _having pleased_, _agreeable_. prandere, _lunch_; pransus, _having lunched_. potare, _drink_; potus, _having drunk_. jurare, _swear_; juratus, _having sworn_. a. Juratus is used in a passive sense also. 3. Revertor and devertor both regularly form their Perfect in the Active Voice; _viz_.-- revertor, reverti (Inf.), reverti (Perf.), _to return_. devertor, deverti (Inf.), deverti (Perf.), _to turn aside_. * * * * * PERIPHRASTIC CONJUGATION. 115. There are two Periphrastic Conjugations,--the Active and the Passive. The Active is formed by combining the Future Active Participle with the auxiliary sum, the Passive by combining the Gerundive with the same auxiliary. Active Periphrastic Conjugation. INDICATIVE MOOD. _Pres._ amaturus (-a, -um) sum, _I am about to love_. _Inf._ amaturus eram, _I was about to love_. _Fut._ amaturus ero, _I shall be about to love_. _Perf._ amaturus fui, _I have been (was) about to love_. _Plup._ amaturus fueram, _I had been about to love_. _Fut. P._ amaturus fuero, _I shall have been about to love_. SUBJUNCTIVE. _Pres._ amaturus sim, _may I be about to love_. _Imp._ amaturus essem, _I should be about to love_. _Perf._ amaturus fuerim, _I may have been about to love_. _Plup._ amaturus fuissem, _I should have been about to love_. INFINITIVE. _Pres._ amaturus esse, _to be about to love_. _Perf._ amaturus fuisse, _to have been about to love_. Passive Periphrastic Conjugation. INDICATIVE. _Pres._ amandus (-a, -um) sum, _I am to be loved_, _must be loved_. _Imp._ amandus eram, _I was to be loved_. _Fut._ amandus ero, _I shall deserve to be loved_. _Perf._ amandus fui, _I was to be loved_. _Plup._ amandus fueram, _I had deserved to be loved_. _Fut. P._ amandus fuero, _I shall have deserved to be loved_. SUBJUNCTIVE. _Pres._ amandus sim, _may I deserve to be loved_. _Imp._ amandus essem, _I should deserve to be loved_. _Perf._ amandus fuerim, _I may have deserved to be loved_. _Plup._ amendus fuissem, _I should have deserved to be loved_. INFINITIVE. _Pres._ amandus esse, _to deserve to be loved_. _Perf._ amantus fuisse, _to have deserved to be loved_. * * * * * PECULIARITIES OF CONJUGATION. 116. 1. Perfects in -avi, -evi, and -ivi, with the forms derived from them, often drop the ve or vi before endings beginning with r or s. So also novi (from nosco) and the compounds of movi (from moveo). Thus:-- amavisti amasti delevisti delesti amavisse amasse delevisse delesse amaverunt amarunt deleverunt delerunt amaverim amarim deleverim delerim amaveram amaram deleveram deleram amavero amaro delevero delero novisti nosti noverim norim novisse nosse noveram noram audivisti audisti audivisse audisse 2. In the Gerund and Gerundive of the Third and Fourth Conjugations, the endings -undus, -undi, often occur instead of -endus and -endi, as faciundus, faciundi. 3. Dico, duco, facio, form the Imperatives, dic, duc, fac. But compounds of facio form the Imperative in -fice, as confice. Compounds of dico, duco, accent the ultima; as, edu'c, edi'c. 4. Archaic and Poetic forms:-- a. The ending -ier in the Present Infinitive Passive; as, amarier, monerier, dicier, for amari, moneri, dici. b. The ending -ibam for -iebam in Imperfects of the Fourth Conjugation, and -ibo for -iam in Futures; as, scibam, scibo, for sciebam, sciam. c. Instead of the fuller forms, in such words as dixisti, scripsistis, surrexisse, we sometimes find dixti, scripstis, surrexe, etc. d. The endings -im, -is, etc. (for -am, -as, etc.) occur in a few Subjunctive forms; as, edim (_eat_), duint, perduint. 5. In the Future Active and Perfect Passive Infinitive, the auxiliary esse is often omitted; as, acturum for acturum esse; ejectus for ejectus esse. * * * * * FORMATION OF THE VERB STEMS. Formation of the Present Stem. 117. Many verbs employ the simple Verb Stem for the Present Stem;[39] as, dicere, amare, monere, audire. Others modify the Verb Stem to form the Present, as follows:-- 1. By appending the vowels, a, e, i; as,-- Present Stem Verb Stem juvare, juva- juv-. augere, auge- aug-. vincire, vinci- vinc-. 2. By adding i, as capio, Present Stem capi- (Verb Stem cap-). 3. By the insertion of n (m before labial-mutes) before the final consonant of the Verb Stem; as, fundo (Stem fud-), rumpo (Stem rup-). 4. By appending -n to the Verb Stem; as,-- cern-o pell-o (for pel-no). 5. By appending t to the Verb Stem; as,-- flect-o. 6. By appending sc to the Verb Stem; as,-- cresc-o. scisc-o. 7. By Reduplication, that is, by prefixing the initial consonant of the Verb Stem with i; as,-- gi-gn-o (root gen-), si-st-o (root sta-). Formation of the Perfect Stem. 118. The Perfect Stem is formed from the Verb Stem-- 1. By adding v (in case of Vowel Stems); as,-- amav-i, delev-i, audiv-i. 2. By adding u (in case of some Consonant Stems); as,-- strepu-i, genu-i, alu-i. 3. By adding s (in case of most Consonant Stems); as,-- carp-o, Perfect carps-i. scrib-o, " scrips-i (for scrib-si). rid-eo, " ris-i (for rid-si). sent-io, " sens-i (for sent-si). dic-o, " dix-i (i.e. dic-si). a. Note that before the ending -si a Dental Mute (t, d) is lost; a Guttural Mute (c, g) unites with s to form x; while the Labial b is changed to p. 4. Without addition. Of this formation there are three types:-- a) The Verb Stem is reduplicated by prefixing the initial consonant with the following vowel or e; as,-- curro, Perfect cu-curri. posco, " po-posci. pello, " pe-puli. NOTE 1.--Compounds, with the exception of do, sto, sisto, disco, posco, omit the reduplication. Thus: com-puli, but re-poposci. NOTE 2.--Verbs beginning with sp or st retain both consonants in the reduplication, but drop s from the stem; as, spondeo, spo-pondi; sto, steti. b) The short vowel of the Verb Stem is lengthened; as, lego, legi; ago, egi. Note that a by this process becomes e. c) The vowel of the Verb Stem is unchanged; as, verto, verti; minuo, minui. Formation of the Participial Stem. 119. The Perfect Passive Participle, from which the Participial Stem is derived by dropping -us, is formed:-- 1. By adding -tus (sometimes to the Present Stem, sometimes to the Verb Stem); as,-- ama-re, Participle ama-tus. dele-re, " dele-tus, audi-re, " audi-tus, leg-ere, " lec-tus, scrib-ere, " scrip-tus, senti-re, " sen-sus (for sent-tus). caed-ere, " cae-sus (for caed-tus). a. Note that g, before t, becomes c (see Sec. 8, 5); b becomes p; while dt or tt becomes ss, which is then often simplified to s (Sec. 8, 2). 2. After the analogy of Participles like sensus and caesus, where -sus arises by phonetic change, -sus for -tus is added to other Verb Stems; as,-- lab-i, Participle lap-sus. fig-ere, " fi-xus. a. The same consonant changes occur in appending this ending -sus to the stem as in the case of the Perfect ending -si (see Sec. 118, 3, a). 3. A few Verbs form the Participle in -itus; as,-- doma-re, dom-itus. mone-re, mon-itus. 4. The Future Active Participle is usually identical in its stem with the Perfect Passive Participle; as, ama-tus, amaturus; moni-tus, moniturus. But-- juva-re, Perf. Partic. jutus, has Fut. Act. Partic. juvaturus.[40] lava-re, " " lautus, " " " lavaturus. par-ere, " " partus, " " " pariturus. ru-ere, " " rutus, " " " ruiturus. seca-re, " " sectus, " " " secaturus. fru-i, " " fructus, " " " fruiturus. mor-i, " " mortuus, " " " moriturus. ori-ri, " " ortus, " " " oriturus. * * * * * LIST OF THE MOST IMPORTANT VERBS, WITH PRINCIPAL PARTS.

Subj.); _orere_ (Imper.). metior metiri mensus sum _measure_ assentior assentiri assensus sum _assent_ * * * * * IRREGULAR VERBS. 124. A number of Verbs are called Irregular. The most important are sum, do, edo, fero, volo, nolo, malo, eo, fio. The peculiarity of these Verbs is that they append the personal endings in many forms directly to the stem, instead of employing a connecting vowel, as fer-s (2d Sing. of fer-o), instead of fer-i-s. They are but the relics of what was once in Latin a large class of Verbs. 125. The Inflection of sum has already been given. Its various compounds are inflected in the same way. They are-- absum abesse afui _am absent_ _Pres. Partic_. absens (absentis), _absent_. adsum adesse adfui _am present_ desum deesse defui _am lacking_ insum inesse infui _am in_ intersum interesse interfui _am among_ praesum praeesse praefui _am in charge of_ _Pres. Partic_. praesens (praesentis), _present_ obsum obesse obfui _hinder_ prosum prodesse profui _am of advantage_ subsum subesse subfui _am underneath_ supersum superesse superfui _am left_ NOTE.--Prosum is compounded of prod (earlier form of pro) and sum; the d disappears before consonants, as prosumus; but prodestis. 126. Possum. In its Present System possum is a compound of pot- (for pote, able) and sum; potui is from an obsolete potere. PRINCIPAL PARTS. possum, posse, potui, _to be able_. INDICATIVE MOOD. SINGULAR. PLURAL. _Pres._ possum, potes, potest; possumus, potestis, possunt. _Imp._ poteram; poteramus. _Fut._ potero; poterimus. _Perf._ potui; potuimus. _Plup._ potueram; potueramus. _Fut. P._ potuero; potuerimus. SUBJUNCTIVE. SINGULAR.

Thus: dari, datur, daretur, etc. 2. The archaic and poetic Present Subjunctive forms duim, duint, perduit, perduint, etc., are not from the root da-, but from du-, a collateral root of similar meaning. 128. Edo, _I eat_. PRINCIPAL PARTS. edo, esse, edi, esus. Active Voice. INDICATIVE MOOD. _Pres._ edo, edimus, es, estis, est; edunt. SUBJUNCTIVE. _Imp._ essem, essemus, esses, essetis, esset; essent. IMPERATIVE. _Pres._ es; este. _Fut._ esto; estote. esto; edunto. INFINITIVE. _Pres._ esse. Passive Voice. INDICATIVE MOOD. _Pres. 3d Sing_. estur. SUBJUNCTIVE. _Imp. 3d Sing_. essetur. 1. Observe the long vowel of the forms in es-, which alone distinguishes them from the corresponding forms of esse, _to be_. 2. Note comedo, comesse, comedi, comesus or comestus, _consume_. 3. The Present Subjunctive has edim, -is, -it, etc., less often edam, -as, etc. 129. Fero, _I bear_. PRINCIPAL PARTS. fero, ferre, tuli, latus. Active Voice. INDICATIVE MOOD. PLURAL.

The following are the most important:-- 133. USED MAINLY IN THE PERFECT SYSTEM. Coepi, Memini, Odi, _I have _I remember_. _I hate_. begun._ INDICATIVE MOOD. _Perf._ coepi. memini. odi. _Plup._ coeperam. memineram. oderam. _Fut. P._ coepero. meminero. odero. SUBJUNCTIVE. _Perf._ coeperim. meminerim. oderim. _Pluf._ coepissem. meminissem. odissem. IMPERATIVE. _Sing._ memento; _Plur._ mementote. INFINITIVE. _Perf._ coepisse. meminisse. odisse. _Fut._ coepturus esse. osurus esse. PARTICIPLE. _Perf._ coeptus, _begun_. osus. _Fut._ coepturus. osurus. 1. When coepi governs a Passive Infinitive it usually takes the form coeptus est; as, amari coeptus est, _he began to be loved_. 2. Note that memini and odi, though Perfect in form, are Present in sense. Similarly the Pluperfect and Future Perfect have the force of the Imperfect and Future; as, memineram, _I remembered_; odero, _I shall hate_. 134. Inquam, _I say_ (inserted between words of a direct quotation) INDICATIVE MOOD. SINGULAR. PLURAL. _Pres._ inquam, ---- inquis, ---- inquit; inquiunt. _Fut._ ---- ---- inquies, ---- inquiet. ---- _Perf. 3d Sing._ inquit. 135. Ajo, _I say_. INDICATIVE MOOD. SINGULAR. PLURAL _Pres._ ajo, ---- ais, ---- ait; ajunt. _Imp._ ajebam, ajebamus, ajebas, ajebatis, ajebat; ajebant. _Perf 3d Sing._ ait. SUBJUNCTIVE. _Pres 3d Sing._ ajat. NOTE.--For aisne, _do you mean?_ ain is common. 136. Fari, _to speak._ This is inflected regularly in the perfect tenses. In the Present System it has-- INDICATIVE MOOD. SINGULAR. PLURAL. _Pres._ ---- ---- ---- ---- fatur. ---- _Fut._ fabor, ---- ---- ---- fabitur. ---- _Impv._ fare. _Inf._ fari. _Pres. fantis, fanti, etc. Partic._ _Gerund_, fandi; _D. and Abl._, fando. _G._, _Gerundive_, fandus. NOTE.--Forms of fari are rare. More frequent are its compounds; as,-- affatur, _he addresses_; praefamur, _we say in advance._ 137. OTHER DEFECTIVE FORMS. 1. Queo, quire, quivi, _to be able_, and nequeo, nequire, nequivi, _to be unable_, are inflected like eo, but occur chiefly in the Present Tense, and there only in special forms. 2. Quaeso, _I entreat_; quaesumus, _we entreat_. 3. Cedo (2d sing. Impv.), cette (2d plu.); _give me_, _tell me_. 4. Salve, salvete, _hail_. Also Infinitive, salvere. 5. Have (ave), havete, _hail_. Also Infinitive, havere. * * * * * IMPERSONAL VERBS. 138. Impersonal Verbs correspond to the English, _it snows, it seems, etc._ They have no personal subject, but may take an Infinitive, a Clause, or a Neuter Pronoun; as, me pudet hoc fecisse, lit. _it shames me to have done this_; hoc decet, _this is fitting_. Here belong-- I. Verbs denoting operations of the weather; as,-- fulget fulsit _it lightens_ tonat tonuit _it thunders_ grandinat ---- _it hails_ ningit ninxit _it snows_ pluit pluit _it rains_ II. Special Verbs. paenitet paenitere paenituit _it repents_ piget pigere piguit _it grieves_ pudet pudere puduit _it causes shame_ taedet taedere taeduit _it disgusts_ miseret miserere miseruit _it causes pity_ libet libere libuit _it pleases_ licet licere licuit _it is lawful_ oportet oportere oportuit _it is fitting_ decet decere decuit _it is becoming_ dedecet dedecere dedecuit _it is unbecoming_ refert referre retulit _it concerns_ III. Verbs Impersonal only in Special Senses. constat constare constitit _it is evident_ praestat praestare praestitit _it is better_ juvat juvare juvit _it delights_ apparet apparere apparuit _it appears_ placet placere placuit _it pleases_ (placitum est) accedit accedere accessit _it is added_ accidit accidere accidit _it happens_ contingit contingere contigit _it happens_ evenit evenire evenit _it turns out_ interest interesse interfuit _it concerns_ IV. The Passive of Intransitive Verbs; as,-- itur lit. _it is gone_ _i.e. some one goes_ curritur lit. _it is run_ _i.e. some one runs_ ventum est lit. _it has been come_ _i.e. some one has come_ veniendum est lit. _it must be come_ _i.e. somebody must come_ pugnari potest lit. _it can be fought_ _i.e. somebody can fight_ * * * * * PART III. * * * * * PARTICLES. * * * * * 139. Particles are the four Parts of Speech that do not admit of inflection; _viz_. Adverbs, Prepositions, Conjunctions, Interjections. ADVERBS. 140. Adverbs denote manner, place, time, or degree Most adverbs are in origin case-forms which have become stereotyped by usage. The common adverbial terminations have already been given above (Sec. 76). The following TABLE OF CORRELATIVES is important:-- RELATIVE AND DEMONSTRATIVE. INDEFINITE. INTERROGATIVE. ubi, _where; where_? hic, _here_. alicubi, usquam, ibi, illic, istic, uspiam, _somewhere_. _there_. quo, _whither; huc, _hither_. aliquo, _to some whither_? eo, istuc, illuc, place_. _thither_. unde, _whence; hinc, _hence_. alicunde, _from whence_? inde, istinc, illinc, somewhere_. _thence_. qua, _where; where_? hac, _by this way_. aliqua, _by some way_. ea, istac, illac, _by that way_. cum, _when_. nunc, _now_. aliquando, umquam, quando, _when_? tum, tunc, _then_. _sometime_, _ever_. quotiens, _as often totiens, _so often_. aliquotiens, _some as_; _how often_? number of times_. quam, _as much as_; tam, _so much_. aliquantum, _how much_? _somewhat_. PREPOSITIONS. 141. Prepositions show relations of words. The following Prepositions govern the Accusative:-- ad, _to_. contra, _against_. post, _after_. adversus, erga, _toward_. praeter, _past_. _against_. extra, _outside_. prope, _near_. adversum, _toward_, infra, _below_. propter, _on account _against_. inter, _between_. of_. ante, _before_. intra, _within_. secundum, _after_. apud, _with_, juxta, _near_. subter, _beneath_. _near_. ob, _on account super, _over_. circa, _around_. of_. supra, _above_. circiter, _about_. penes, _in the hands trans, _across_. circum, _around_. of_. ultra, _beyond_. cis, _this side per, _through_. versus, _toward_. of_. pone, _behind_. citra, _this side of_. 1. Usque is often prefixed to ad, in the sense of _even_; as,-- usque ad urbem, _even to the city_. 2. Versus always follows its case; as,-- Romam versus, _toward Rome_. It may be combined with a preceding Preposition; as,-- ad urbem versus, _toward the city_. 3. Like prope, the Comparatives propior, propius, and the Superlatives proximus, proxime, sometimes govern the Accusative; as,-- Ubii proxime Rhenum incolunt, _the Ubii dwell next to the Rhine_; propius castra hostium, _nearer the camp of the enemy_. 142. The following Prepositions govern the Ablative:-- a, ab, abs, _from_, cum, _with_. pro, _in front of_, _by_. de, _from_, _for_. absque, _without_. _concerning_. sine, _without_. coram, _in the e, ex, _from out tenus, _up to_. presence of_. of_. prae, _before_. 1. A, ab, abs. Before vowels or h, ab must be used; before consonants we find sometimes a, sometimes ab (the latter usually not before the labials b, p, f, v, m; nor before c, g, q, or t); abs occurs only before te, and a is admissible even there. 2. E, ex. Before vowels or h, ex must be used; before consonants we find sometimes e, sometimes ex. 3. Tenus regularly follows its case, as, pectoribus tenus, _up to the breast_. It sometimes governs the Genitive, as, labrorum tenus, _as far as the lips_. 4. Cum is appended to the Pronouns of the First and Second Persons, and to the Reflexive Pronoun; usually also to the Relative and Interrogative. Thus:-- mecum nobiscum quocum _or_ cum quo tecum vobiscum quacum _or_ cum qua secum quibuscum _or_ cum quibus On quicum, see Sec. 89, Footnote 27. 143. Two Prepositions, in, _in_, _into_, and sub, _under_, govern both the Accusative and the Ablative. With the Accusative they denote motion; with the Ablative, rest; as,-- in urbem, _into the city_; in urbe, _in the city_. 1. Subter and super are also occasionally construed with the Ablative. 144. RELATION OF ADVERBS AND PREPOSITIONS. 1. Prepositions were originally Adverbs, and many of them still retain their adverbial meaning; as, post, _afterwards_; ante, _previously_; contra, _on the other hand_, etc. 2. Conversely several words, usually adverbs, are occasionally employed as prepositions; as,-- clam, pridie, with the Accusative. procul, simul, palam, with the Ablative. 3. Anastrophe. A Preposition sometimes follows its case. This is called Anastrophe; as,-- ei, quos inter erat, _those among whom he was_. Anastrophe occurs chiefly with dissyllabic prepositions. CONJUNCTIONS AND INTERJECTIONS. 145. 1. Conjunctions are used to connect ideas. For Cooerdinate Conjunctions, see Sec. 341 ff. Subordinate Conjunctions are treated in connection with Subordinate Clauses. 2. Interjections express emotion. Thus:-- 1. Surprise; as, en, ecce, o. 2. Joy; as, io, euoe. 3. Sorrow and Pain; as, heu, eheu, vae, pro. 4. Calling; as, heus, eho. * * * * * PART IV. * * * * * WORD-FORMATION. * * * * * I. DERIVATIVES. 146. Derivatives are formed by appending certain terminations called Suffixes to stems of verbs, nouns, or adjectives. A. NOUNS. 1. Nouns derived from Verbs. 147. 1. The suffix -tor (-sor), Fem. -trix, denotes _the agent_; as,-- victor, victrix, _victor_; defensor, _defender_. NOTE.--The suffix -tor is occasionally appended to noun stems; as,-- gladiator, _gladiator_ (from gladius). 2. The suffix -or (originally -os) denotes _an activity or a condition_; as,-- amor, _love_; timor, _fear_; dolor, _pain_. 3. The suffixes -tio (-sio), Gen. -onis, and -tus (-sus), Gen. -us, denote _an action as in process_; as,-- venatio, _hunting_; obsessio, _blockade_; gemitus, _sighing_; cursus, _running_. NOTE.--Rarer endings with the same force are:-- a) -tura, -sura; as,-- sepultura, _burial_; mensura, _measuring_. b) -ium; as,-- gaudium, _rejoicing_. c) -ido; as,-- cupido, _desire_. 4. The suffixes -men, -mentum, -crum, -trum, -bulum, -culum, denote _the means_ or _place_ of an action; as,-- lumen (luc-s-men), _light_; vocabulum, _word_; ornamentum, _ornament_; documentum, _proof_; sepulcrum, _grave_; aratrum, _plough_; vehiculum, _carriage_. 2. Nouns derived from Nouns. 148. 1. Diminutives end in-- -ulus, (-ula, -ulum) -olus, (-ola, -olum), after a vowel -culus, (-cula, -culum) -ellus, (-ella, -ellum) -illus, (-illa, -illum) as,-- nidulus, _little nest_ (nidus); virgula, _wand_ (virga); oppidulum, _little town_ (oppidum); filiolus, _little son_ (filius); opusculum, _little work_ (opus); tabella, _tablet_ (tabula); lapillus, _pebble_ (lapis). NOTE 1.--It will be observed that in gender the Diminutives follow the gender of the words from which they are derived. NOTE 2.--The endings -ellus, -illus contain the primitive form of the diminutive suffix, _viz_., -lo-. Thus:-- agellus, _field_, for ager-lus; lapillus, _pebble_, for lapid-lus. 2. The suffix -ium appended to nouns denoting persons designates either _a collection_ of such persons or _their function_; as,-- collegium, _a corporation, body of colleagues_ (collega); sacerdotium, _priestly function_ (sacerdos). 3. The suffixes -arium, -etum, -ile designate a place where objects _are kept_ or _are found in abundance_; as,-- columbarium, _dove-cote_ (columba); olivetum, _olive-orchard_ (oliva); ovile, _sheep-fold_ (ovis). 4. The suffix -atus denotes _official position_ or _honor_; as,-- consulatus, _consulship_ (consul). 5. The suffix -ina appended to nouns denoting persons designates _a vocation_ or _the place where it is carried on_; as,-- doctrina, _teaching_ (doctor, _teacher_); medicina, _the art of healing_ (medicus, _physician_); sutrina, _cobbler's shop_ (sutor, _cobbler_). 6. Patronymics are Greek proper names denoting _son of_ ..., _daughter of_ .... They have the following suffixes:-- a) Masculines: -ides, -ades, -ides; as, Priamides, _son of Priam_; Aeneades, _son of Aeneas_; Pelides, _son of Peleus_. b) Feminines: -eis, -is, -ias; as, Nereis, _daughter of Nereus_; Atlantis, _daughter of Atlas_; Thaumantias, _daughter of Thaumas_. 3.

The suffixes -tas (-itas), -tudo (-itudo), -ia, -itia are used for the formation of abstract nouns _denoting qualities_; as,-- bonitas, _goodness_; celeritas, _swiftness_; magnitudo, _greatness_; audacia, _boldness_; amicitia, _friendship_. * * * * * B. ADJECTIVES. 1. Adjectives derived from Verbs. 150. 1. The suffixes -bundus and -cundus give nearly the force of a present participle; as,-- tremebundus, _trembling_; jucundus (juvo), _pleasing_. 2. The suffixes -ax and -ulus denote _an inclination_ or _tendency_, mostly a faulty one; as,-- loquax, _loquacious_; credulus, _credulous_. 3. The suffix -idus denotes _a state_; as,-- calidus, _hot_; timidus, _timid_; cupidus, _eager_. 4. The suffixes -ilis and -bilis denote _capacity_ or _ability_, usually in a passive sense; as,-- fragilis, _fragile_ (_i.e._ capable of being broken); docilis, _docile_. 2. Adjectives derived from Nouns. a) _From Common Nouns._ 151. 1. The suffixes -eus and -inus are appended to names of substances or materials; as,-- aureus, _of gold_; ferreus, _of iron_; faginus, _of beech_. 2. The suffixes -ius, -icus, -ilis, -alis, -aris, -arius, -nus, -anus, -inus, -ivus, -ensis signify _belonging to_, _connected with_; as,-- oratorius, _oratorical_; legionarius, _legionary_; bellicus, _pertaining to war_; paternus, _paternal_; civilis, _civil_; urbanus, _of the city_; regalis, _regal_; marinus, _marine_; consularis, _consular_; aestivus, _pertaining to summer_; circensis, _belonging to the circus_. 3. The suffixes -osus and -lentus denote _fullness_; as,-- periculosus, _full of danger_, gloriosus, _glorious_; _dangerous_; opulentus, _wealthy_. 4. The suffix -tus has the force of _provided with_; as,-- barbatus, _bearded_; stellatus, _set with stars_. b) _From Proper Names._ 152. 1. Names of _persons_ take the suffixes: -anus, -ianus, -inus; as,-- Catonianus, _belonging to Plautinus, _belonging to Cato_; Plautus_. 2. Names of _nations_ take the suffixes -icus, -ius; as,-- Germanicus, _German_; Thracius, _Thracian_. 3. Names of _places_ take the suffixes -anus, -inus, -ensis, -aeus, -ius; as,-- Romanus, _Roman_; Atheniensis, _Athenian_; Amerinus, _of Ameria_; Smyrnaeus, _of Smyrna_; Corinthius, _Corinthian_. NOTE.-- -anus and -ensis, appended to names of countries, designate something _stationed in_ the country or _connected with_ it, but not indigenous; as,-- bellum Africanum, _a war (of Romans with Romans) in Africa_. bellum Hispaniense, _a war carried on in Spain_. legiones Gallicanae, _(Roman) legions stationed in Gaul_. 3. Adjectives derived from Adjectives. 153. Diminutives in -lus sometimes occur; as,-- parvolus, _little_; misellus (passer), _poor little_ (_sparrow_); pauperculus, _needy_. 4. Adjectives derived from Adverbs. 154. These end in -ernus, -ternus, -tinus, -tinus; as,-- hodiernus, _of to-day_ (hodie); hesternus, _of yesterday_ (heri); intestinus, _internal_ (intus); diutinus, _long-lasting_ (diu). * * * * * C. VERBS. 1. Verbs derived from Verbs. 155. 1. INCEPTIVES OR INCHOATIVES. These end in -sco, and are formed from Present Stems. They denote _the beginning of an action_; as,-- labasco, _begin to totter_ (from labo); horresco, _grow rough_ (from horreo); tremesco, _begin to tremble_ (from tremo); obdormisco, _fall asleep_ (from dormio). 2. FREQUENTATIVES OR INTENSIVES. These denote _a repeated or energetic action_. They are formed from the Participial Stem, and end in -to or -so. Those derived from verbs of the First Conjugation end in -ito (not -ato, as we should expect). Examples of Frequentatives are-- jacto, _toss about_, _brandish_ (from jacio, _hurl_); curso, _run hither and thither_ (from curro, _run_); volito, _flit about_ (from volo, _fly_). a. Some double Frequentatives occur; as,-- cantito, _sing over and over_ (canto); cursito, _keep running about_ (curso); ventito, _keep coming_. b. agito, _set in motion_, is formed from the Present Stem. 3. DESIDERATIVES. These denote _a desire to do something_.

Verbs derived from Nouns and Adjectives (Denominatives). 156. Denominatives of the First Conjugation are mostly transitive; those of the Second exclusively intransitive. Those of the Third and Fourth Conjugations are partly transitive, partly intransitive. Examples are-- a) From Nouns:-- fraudo, _defraud_ (fraus); vestio, _clothe_ (vestis); floreo, _bloom_ (flos). b) From Adjectives:-- libero, _free_ (liber); saevio, _be fierce_ (saevus). * * * * * D. ADVERBS. 157. 1. Adverbs derived from verbs are formed from the Participial Stem by means of the suffix -im; as,-- certatim, _emulously_ (certo); cursim, _in haste_ (curro); statim, _immediately_ (sto). 2. Adverbs derived from nouns and adjectives are formed:-- a) With the suffixes -tim (-sim), -atim; as,-- gradatim, _step by step_; paulatim, _gradually_; viritim, _man by man_. b) With the suffix -tus; as,-- antiquitus, _of old_; radicitus, _from the roots_. c) With the suffix -ter; as,-- breviter, _briefly_. * * * * * II. COMPOUNDS. 158. 1. Compounds are formed by the union of simple words. The second member usually contains the _essential meaning_ of the compound; the first member expresses _some modification_ of this. 2. Vowel changes often occur in the process of composition. Thus:-- a. In the second member of compounds. (See Sec. 7, 1.) b. The final vowel of the stem of the first member of the compound often appears as i where we should expect o or a; sometimes it is dropped altogether, and in case of consonant stems i is often inserted; as,-- signifer, _standard-bearer_; tubicen, _trumpeter_; magnanimus, _high-minded_; matricida, _matricide_. 159. EXAMPLES OF COMPOUNDS. 1. Nouns:-- a) Preposition + Noun; as,-- de-decus, _disgrace_; pro-avus, _great-grandfather_. b) Noun + Verb Stem; as,-- agri-cola, _farmer_; fratri-cida, _fratricide_. 2. Adjectives:-- a) Preposition + Adjective (or Noun); as,-- per-magnus, _very great_; sub-obscurus, _rather obscure_; a-mens, _frantic_. b) Adjective + Noun; as,-- magn-animus, _great-hearted_; celeri-pes, _swift-footed_. c) Noun + Verb Stem; as,-- parti-ceps, _sharing_; morti-fer, _death-dealing_. 3. Verbs:-- The second member is always a verb. The first may be-- a) A Noun; as,-- aedi-fico, _build_. b) An Adjective; as,-- ampli-fico, _enlarge_. c) An Adverb; as,-- male-dico, _rail at_. d) Another Verb; as,-- cale-facio, _make warm_. e) A Preposition; as,-- ab-jungo, _detach_; re-fero, _bring back_; dis-cerno, _distinguish_; ex-specto, _await_. NOTE.--Here belong the so-called INSEPARABLE PREPOSITIONS: ambi- (amb-), _around_; dis- (dir-, di-), _apart_, _asunder_; por-, _forward_; red- (re-), _back_; sed- (se-), _apart from_; ve-, _without_. 4. Adverbs:-- These are of various types; as,-- antea, _before_; ilico (in loco), _on the spot_; imprimis, _especially_; obviam, _in the way_. * * * * * PART V. * * * * * SYNTAX. * * * * * 160. Syntax treats of the use of words in sentences CHAPTER I.--_Sentences._ CLASSIFICATION OF SENTENCES. 161. Sentences may be classified as follows:-- 1. DECLARATIVE, which state something; as,-- puer scribit, _the boy is writing_. 2. INTERROGATIVE, Which ask a question; as,-- quid puer scribit, _what is the boy writing?_ 3. EXCLAMATORY, which are in the form of an exclamation; as,-- quot libros scribit, _how many books he writes!_ 4. IMPERATIVE, which express a command or an admonition; as,-- scribe, _write!_ FORM OF INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES. 162. Questions may be either Word-Questions or Sentence-Questions. 1. Word-Questions. These are introduced by the various interrogative pronouns and adverbs, such as--quis, qui, qualis, quantus, quot, quotiens, quo, qua, etc. Thus:-- quis venit, _who comes?_ quam diu manebit, _how long will he stay?_ 2. Sentence-Questions. These are introduced-- a) By nonne implying the answer 'yes'; as,-- nonne videtis, _do you not see?_ b) By num implying the answer 'no'; as,-- num exspectas, _do you expect?_ (i.e. _you don't expect, do you?_) c) by the enclitic -ne, appended to the emphatic word (which usually stands first), and simply asking for information; as,-- videsne, _do you see?_ A question introduced by -ne may receive a special implication from the context; as,-- sensistine, _did you not perceive?_ d) Sometimes by no special word, particularly in expressions of _surprise_ or _indignation_; as,-- tu in judicum conspectum venire audes, _do you dare to come into the presence of the judges?_ 3. Rhetorical Questions. These are questions merely in form, being employed to express an emphatic assertion; as, quis dubitat, _who doubts?_ (_= no one doubts_). 4. Double Questions. Double Questions are introduced by the following particles:-- utrum ... an; -ne ... an; ---- ... an. If the second member is negative, annon (less often necne) is used. Examples:-- utrum honestum est an turpe, } honestumne est an turpe, } _is it honorable or base?_ honestum est an turpe, } suntne di annon, _are there gods or not?_ a. An was not originally confined to double questions, but introduced single questions, having the force of -ne, nonne, or num. Traces of this use survive in classical Latin; as,-- A rebus gerendis abstrahit senectus. Quibus? An eis quae juventute geruntur et viribus? _Old age (it is alleged) withdraws men from active pursuits. From what pursuits? Is it not merely from those which are carried on by the strength of youth?_ 5. Answers. a. The answer YES is expressed by ita, etiam, vero, sane, or by repetition of the verb; as,-- 'visne locum mutemus?' 'sane'. _'Shall we change the place?'_ _'Certainly.'_ 'estisne vos legati?' 'sumus.' _'Are you envoys?'_ _'Yes.'_ b. The answer NO is expressed by non, minime, minime vero, or by repeating the verb with a negative; as,-- 'jam ea praeteriit?' 'non.' _'Has it passed?'_ _'No.'_ 'estne frater intus?' 'non est.' _'Is your brother within?'_ _'No.'_ SUBJECT AND PREDICATE. 163. The two essential parts of a sentence are the SUBJECT and PREDICATE. The SUBJECT is that _concerning which something is said, asked, etc._ The PREDICATE is that _which is said, asked, etc., concerning_ the SUBJECT. SIMPLE AND COMPOUND SENTENCES. 164. Sentences containing but one Subject and one Predicate are called SIMPLE SENTENCES, those containing more are called COMPOUND SENTENCES. Thus puer libros legit, _the boy reads books_, is a Simple Sentence; but puer libros legit et epistulas scribit, _the boy reads books and writes letters_, is a Compound Sentence. The different members of a Compound Sentence are called Clauses. 165. COOeRDINATE AND SUBORDINATE CLAUSES. Clauses which stand upon an equality are called COOeRDINATE; a Clause dependent on another is called SUBORDINATE. Thus in puer libros legit et epistulas scribit the two clauses are Cooerdinate; but in puer libros legit quos pater scribit, _the boy reads the books which his father writes_, the second clause is Subordinate to the first. * * * * * CHAPTER II.--_Syntax of Nouns._ SUBJECT. 166. The Subject of a Finite Verb (i.e. any form of the Indicative, Subjunctive, or Imperative) is in the Nominative Case. 1. The Subject may be-- a) A Noun or Pronoun; as,-- puer scribit, _the boy writes_; hic scribit, _this man writes_. b) An Infinitive; as,-- decorum est pro patria mori, _to die for one's county is a noble thing_. c) A Clause; as,-- opportune accidit quod vidisti, _it happened opportunely that you saw_. 2. A Personal Pronoun as Subject is usually implied in the Verb and is not separately expressed; as,-- scribo, _I write_; videt, _he sees._ a. But for the purpose of emphasis or contrast the Pronoun is expressed; as,-- ego scribo et tu legis, _I write, and you read._ 3. The verb is sometimes omitted when it can be easily supplied from the context, especially the auxiliary sum; as,-- recte ille (_sc_. facit), _he does rightly_; consul profectus (_sc_. est), _the consul set out_. PREDICATE NOUNS. 167. A PREDICATE NOUN is one connected with the Subject by some form of the verb Sum or a similar verb. 168. A Predicate Noun agrees with its Subject in Case;[47] as,-- Cicero orator fuit, _Cicero was an orator_; Numa creatus est rex, _Numa was elected king_. 1. when possible, the Predicate Noun usually agrees with its Subect in Gender also; as,-- philosophia est vitae magistra, _philosophy is the guide of life_. 2. Besides sum, the verbs most frequently accompanied by a Predicate Noun are-- a) fio, evado, exsisto; maneo; videor; as,-- Croesus non semper mansit rex, _Croesus did not always remain king_. b) Passive verbs of _making_, _calling_, _regarding_, etc.; as, creor, appellor, habeor; as,-- Romulus rex appellatus est, _Romulus was called king_; habitus est deus, _he was regarded as a god_. APPOSITIVES. 169. 1. An Appositive is a Noun explaining or defining another Noun denoting the same person or thing; as,-- Cicero consul, _Cicero, the Consul_; urbs Roma, _the city Rome_. 2. An Appositive agrees with its Subject in Case; as,-- opera Ciceronis oratoris, _the works of Cicero, the orator_; apud Herodotum, patrem historiae, _in the works of Herodotus, the father of history_. 3. When possible, the Appositive agrees with its Subject in Gender also; as,-- assentatio adjutrix vitiorum, _flattery, the promoter of evils_. 4. A Locative may take in Apposition the Ablative of urbs or oppidum, with or without a preposition; as,-- Corinthi, Achaiae urbe, or in Achaiae urbe, _at Corinth, a city of Greece_. 5. PARTITIVE APPOSITION. A Noun denoting a whole is frequently followed by an Appositive denoting a part; as,-- milites, fortissimus quisque, hostibus restiterunt, _the soldiers, all the bravest of them, resisted the enemy_. * * * * * THE CASES. THE NOMINATIVE. 170. The Nominative is confined to its use as Subject, Appositive, or Predicate Noun, as already explained. See Sec. 166-169. * * * * * THE VOCATIVE. 171. The Vocative is the Case of direct address; as,-- credite mihi, judices, _believe me, judges_. 1. By a species of attraction, the Nominative is occasionally used for the Vocative, especially in poetry and formal prose; as, audi tu, populus Albanus, _hear ye, Alban people!_ 2. Similarly the Appositive of a Vocative may, in poetry, stand in the Nominative; as, nate, mea magna potentia solus, _O son, alone the source of my great power_. * * * * * THE ACCUSATIVE. 172. The Accusative is the Case of the Direct Object. 173. The Direct Object may express either of the two following relations:-- A. The PERSON OR THING AFFECTED by the action; as,-- consulem interfecit, _he slew the consul_; lego librum, _I read the book_. B. The RESULT PRODUCED by the action; as,-- librum scripsi, _I wrote a book_ (i.e. produced one); templum struit, _he constructs a temple_. 174. Verbs that admit a Direct Object of either of these two types are TRANSITIVE VERBS. a. Verbs that regularly take a Direct Object are sometimes used without it. They are then said to be employed _absolutely_; as,-- rumor est meum gnatum amare, _it is rumored that my son is in love_. Accusative of the Person or Thing Affected. 175. 1. This is the most frequent use of the Accusative; as in-- parentes amamus, _we love our parents_; mare aspicit, _he gazes at the sea_. 2. The following classes of Verbs taking an Accusative of this kind are worthy of note:-- a) Many Intransitive Verbs, when compounded with a Preposition, become Transitive. Thus:-- 1) Compounds of circum, praeter, trans; as,-- hostes circumstare, _to surround the enemy;_ urbem praeterire, _to pass by the city;_ muros transcendere, _to climb over the walls._ 2) Less frequently, compounds of ad, per, in, sub; as,-- adire urbem, _to visit the city;_ peragrare Italiam, _to travel through Italy;_ inire magistratum, _to take office;_ subire periculum, _to undergo danger._ b) Many Verbs expressing emotions, regularly Intransitive, have also a Transitive use; as,-- queror fatum, _I lament my fate;_ doleo ejus mortem, _I grieve at his death;_ rideo tuam stultitiam, _I laugh at your folly._ So also lugeo, maereo, _mourn_; gemo, _bemoan_; horreo, _shudder_, and others. c) The impersonals decet, _it becomes_; dedecet, _it is unbecoming_; juvat, _it pleases_, take the Accusative of the Person Affected; as,-- me decet haec dicere, _it becomes me to say this._ d) In poetry many Passive Verbs, in imitation of Greek usage, are employed as Middles (Sec. 256, 1; 2), and take the Accusative as Object; as,-- galeam induitur, _he puts on his helmet;_ cinctus tempora hedera, _having bound his temples with ivy;_ nodo sinus collecta, _having gathered her dress in a knot._ Accusative of the Result Produced. 176. 1. The ordinary type of this Accusative is seen in such expressions as-- librum scribo, _I write a book_; domum aedifico, _I build a house_. 2. Many Verbs usually Intransitive take a _Neuter Pronoun_, or _Adjective_, as an Accusative of Result. Thus:-- a) A Neuter Pronoun; as,-- haec gemebat, _he made these moans_; idem gloriari, _to make the same boast_; eadem peccat, _he makes the same mistakes_. b) A Neuter Adjective,--particularly _Adjectives of number_ or _amount_,--multum, multa, pauca, etc.; also nihil; as,-- multa egeo, _I have many needs_; pauca studet, _he has few interests_; multum valet, _he has great strength_; nihil peccat, _he makes no mistake_. NOTE.--In poetry other Adjectives are freely used in this construction; as-- minitantem vana, _making vain threats_; acerba tuens, _giving a fierce look_; dulce loquentem, _sweetly talking_. 3. The adverbial use of several Neuter Pronouns and Adjectives grows out of this Accusative; as,-- multum sunt in venatione, _they are much engaged in hunting_. a. So also plurimum, _very greatly_; plerumque, _generally_; aliquid, _somewhat_; quid, _why?_ nihil, _not at all_; etc. 4. Sometimes an Intransitive Verb takes an Accusative of Result which is of kindred etymology with the Verb. This is called a COGNATE ACCUSATIVE, and is usually modified by an Adjective; as,-- sempiternam servitutem serviat, _let him serve an everlasting slavery_; vitam duram vixi, _I have lived a hard life_. a. Sometimes the Cognate Accusative is not of kindred etymology, but merely of kindred meaning; as,-- stadium currit, _he runs a race_; Olympia vincit, _he wins an Olympic victory_. 5. The Accusative of Result occurs also after Verbs of _tasting_ and _smelling_; as,-- piscis mare sapit, _the fish tastes of the sea_; orationes antiquitatem redolent, _the speeches smack of the past_. Two Accusatives--Direct Object and Predicate Accusative. 177. Many Verbs of _Making_, _Choosing_, _Calling_, _Showing_, and the like, take two Accusatives, one of the Person or Thing Affected, the other a Predicate Accusative; as,-- me heredem fecit, _he made me heir_. Here me is Direct Object, heredem Predicate Accusative. So also-- eum judicem cepere, _they took him as judge_; urbem Romam vocavit, _he called the city Rome_; se virum praestitit, _he showed himself a man_. 2. The Predicate Accusative may be an Adjective as well as a Noun; as,-- homines caecos reddit cupiditas, _covetousness renders men blind_; Apollo Socratem sapientissimum judicavit, _Apollo adjudged Socrates the wisest man_. a. Some Verbs, as reddo, usually admit only an Adjective as the Predicate Accusative. 3. In the Passive the Direct Object becomes the Subject, and the Predicate Accusative becomes Predicate Nominative (Sec. 168, 2, b): as,-- urbs Roma vocata est, _the city was called Rome_. a. Not all Verbs admit the Passive construction; reddo and efficio, for example, never take it. Two Accusatives--Person and Thing. 178. 1. Some Verbs take two Accusatives, one of the Person Affected, the other of the Result Produced. Thus:-- a) Verbs of _requesting_ and _demanding_; as,-- otium divos rogat, _he asks the gods for rest_; me duas orationes postulas, _you demand two speeches of me_. So also oro, posco, reposco, exposco, flagito, though some of these prefer the Ablative with ab to the Accusative of the Person; as,-- opem a te posco, _I demand aid of you_. b) Verbs of _teaching_ (doceo and its compounds); as,-- te litteras doceo, _I teach you your letters_. c) Verbs of _inquiring_; as,-- te haec rogo, _I ask you this_; te sententiam rogo, _I ask you your opinion_. d) Several Special Verbs; _viz_. moneo, admoneo, commoneo, cogo, accuso, arguo, and a few others. These admit only a Neuter Pronoun or Adjective as Accusative of the Thing; as,-- hoc te moneo, _I give you this advice_; me id accusas, _you bring this accusation against me_; id cogit nos natura, _nature compels us (to) this_. e) One Verb of _concealing_, celo; as,-- non te celavi sermonem, _I have not concealed the conversation from you_. 2. In the Passive construction the Accusative of the Person becomes the Subject, and the Accusative of the Thing is retained; as,-- omnes artes edoctus est, _he was taught all accomplishments_; rogatus sum sententiam, _I was asked my opinion_; multa admonemur, _we are given many admonitions_. a. Only a few Verbs admit the Passive construction. Two Accusatives with Compounds. 179. 1. Transitive compounds of trans may take two Accusatives, one dependent upon the Verb, the other upon the Preposition, as,-- milites flumen transportat, _he leads his soldiers across the river_. 2. With other compounds this construction is rare. 3. In the Passive the Accusative dependent upon the preposition is retained; as,-- milites flumen traducebantur, _the soldiers were led across the river_. Synecdochical (or Greek) Accusative. 180. 1. The Synecdochical (or Greek) Accusative denotes the _part_ to which an action or quality refers; as,-- tremit artus, literally, _he trembles as to his limbs_, i.e. his limbs tremble; nuda genu, lit. _bare as to the knee_, i.e. with knee bare; manus revinctus, lit. _tied as to the hands_, i.e. with hands tied. 2. Note that this construction-- a) Is borrowed from the Greek. b) Is chiefly confined to poetry. c) Usually refers to a part of the body. d) Is used with Adjectives as well as Verbs. Accusative of Time and Space. 181. 1. _Duration of Time_ and _Extent of Space_ are denoted by the Accusative; as,-- quadraginta annos vixit, _he lived forty years_; hic locus passus sescentos aberat, _this place was six hundred paces away_; arbores quinquaginta pedes altae, _trees fifty feet high_; abhinc septem annos, _seven years ago_. 2. Emphasis is sometimes added by using the Preposition per; as, per biennium laboravi, _I toiled throughout two years_. Accusative of Limit of Motion. 182. 1. The Accusative of Limit of Motion is used-- a) With names of _Towns_, _Small Islands_, and _Peninsulas_; as,-- Romam veni, _I came to Rome_; Athenas proficiscitur, _he sets out for Athens_; Delum perveni, _I arrived at Delos_. b) With domum, domos, rus; as,-- domum revertitur, _he returns home_; rus ibo, _I shall go to the country_. NOTE.--When domus means _house_ (i.e. building), it takes a preposition; as,-- in domum veterem remigrare, _to move back to an old house_. 2. Other designations of place than those above mentioned require a Preposition to denote Limit of Motion; as,-- ad Italiam venit, _he came to Italy._ a. The Preposition is also customary with the Accusatives urbem or oppidum when they stand in apposition with the name of a town; as,-- Thalam, in oppidum magnum, _to Thala, a large town;_ Genavam ad oppidum, _to the town Geneva_. b. The name of a town denoting limit of motion may be combined with the name of a country or other word dependent upon a preposition; as,-- Thurios in Italiam pervectus, _carried to Thurii in Italy;_ cum Acen ad exercitum venisset, _when he had come to the army at Ace._ 3. To denote _toward_, _to the vicinity of_, _in the vicinity of,_ ad is used; as,-- ad Tarentum veni, _I came to the vicinity of Tarentum;_ ad Cannas pugna facta est, _a battle was fought near Cannae._ 4. In poetry the Accusative of any noun denoting a place may be used without a preposition to express the limit of motion; as,-- Italiam venit, _he came to Italy._ 5. The _goal_ notion seems to represent the original function of the Accusative Case. Traces of this primitive force are recognizable in the phrase infitias ire, _to deny_ (lit. _to go to a denial_), and a few other similar expressions. Accusative in Exclamations. 183. The Accusative, generally modified by an Adjective, is used in Exclamations; as,-- me miserum, _ah, wretched me!_ O fallacem spem, _oh, deceptive hope!_ Accusative as Subject of the Infinitive. 184. The Subject of the Infinitive is put in the Accusative; as,-- video hominem abire, _I see that the man is going away._ Other Uses of the Accusative. 185. Here belong-- 1. Some Accusatives which were originally Appositives; _viz_.-- id genus, _of that kind_; as, homines id genus, _men of that kind_ (originally homines, id genus hominum, _men, that kind of men_); virile secus, muliebre secus, _of the male sex_, _of the female sex_; meam vicem, tuam vicem, etc., _for my part_, etc.; bonam partem, magnam partem, _in large part_; maximam partem, _for the most part_. 2. Some phrases of doubtful origin; as,-- id temporis, _at that time_; quod si, _but if_; id aetatis, _at that time_; cetera, _in other respects_. * * * * * THE DATIVE. 186. The Dative case, in general, expresses relations which are designated in English by the prepositions to and for. Dative of Indirect Object. 187. The commonest use of the Dative is to denote the person _to whom_ something is _given_, _said_, or _done_. Thus:-- I. With transitive verbs in connection with the Accusative; as,-- hanc pecuniam mihi dat, _he gives me this money_; haec nobis dixit, _he said this to us_. a. Some verbs which take this construction (particularly dono and circumdo) admit also the Accusative of the person along with the Ablative of the thing. Thus:-- Either Themistocli munera donavit, _he presented gifts to Themistocles_, or Themistoclem muneribus donavit, _he presented Themistocles with gifts_; urbi muros circumdat, _he builds walls around the city_, or urbem muris circumdat, _he surrounds the city with walls_ II. With many intransitive verbs; as,-- nulli labori cedit, _he yields to no labor._ a. Here belong many verbs signifying _favor_,[48] _help_, _injure_, _please_, _displease_, _trust_, _distrust_, _command_, _obey_, _serve_, _resist_, _indulge_, _spare_, _pardon_, _envy_, _threaten_, _be angry_, _believe_, _persuade_, and the like; as,-- Caesar popularibus favet, _Caesar favors (i.e. is favorable to) the popular party_; amicis confido, _I trust (to) my friends_; Orgetorix Helvetiis persuasit, _Orgetorix persuaded (made it acceptable to) the Helvetians_; bonis nocet qui malis parcit, _he injures (does harm to) the good, who spares the bad_. NOTE.--It is to be borne in mind that these verbs do not take the Dative by virtue of their apparent English equivalence, but simply because they are _intransitive_, and adapted to an indirect object. Some verbs of the same apparent English equivalence are _transitive_ and govern the Accusative; as, juvo, laedo, delecto. Thus: audentes deus juvat, _God helps the bold_; neminem laesit _he injured no one_. b. Verbs of this class are used in the passive only impersonally; as,-- tibi parcitur, _you are spared_; mihi persuadetur, _I am being persuaded_; ei invidetur, _he is envied_. c. Some of the foregoing verbs admit also a Direct Object in connection with the Dative; as,-- mihi mortem minitatur, _he threatens me with death_ (_threatens death to me_). III. With many verbs compounded with the prepositions: ad, ante, circum, com,[49] in, inter, ob, post, prae, pro, sub, super. These verbs fall into two main classes,-- 1. Many simple verbs which cannot take a Dative of the indirect object become capable of doing so when compounded with a preposition; as,-- afflictis succurrit, _he helps the aflicted_; exercitui praefuit, _he was in command of the army_; intersum consiliis, _I share in the deliberations_. 2. Many transitive verbs which take only a direct object become capable, when compounded, of taking a dative also as indirect object; as,-- pecuniae pudorem anteponit, _he puts honor before money_; inicere spem amicis, _to inspire hope in one's friends_; munitioni Labienum praefecit, _he put Labienus in charge of the fortifications_. Dative of Reference. 188. 1. The Dative of Reference denotes the person _to whom a statement refers, of whom it is true_, or _to whom it is of interest;_ as,-- mihi ante oculos versaris, _you hover before my eyes_ (lit. _hover before the eyes to me_); illi severitas amorem non deminuit, _in his case severity did not diminish love_ (lit. _to him severity did not diminish_); intercludere inimicis commeatum, _to cut of the supplies of the enemy._ a. Note the phrase alicui interdicere aqua et igni, _to interdict one from fire and water_. NOTE.--The Dative of Reference, unlike the Dative of Indirect Object, does not modify the verb, but rather the sentence as a whole. It is often used where, according to the English idiom, we should expect a Genitive; so in the first and third of the above examples. 2. Special varieties of the Dative of Reference are-- a) Dative of the Local Standpoint. This is regularly a participle; as,-- oppidum primum Thessaliae venientibus ab Epiro, _the first town of Thessaly as you come from Epirus_ (lit. _to those coming from Epirus_). b) Ethical Dative. This name is given to those Dative constructions of the personal pronouns in which the connection of the Dative with the rest of the sentence is of the very slightest sort; as,-- tu mihi istius audaciam defendis? _tell me, do you defend that man's audacity?_ quid mihi Celsus agit? _what is my Celsus doing?_ c) Dative of Person Judging; as,-- erit ille mihi semper deus, _he will always be a god to me_ (i.e. in my opinion); quae ista servitus tam claro homini, _how can that be slavery to so illustrious a man_ (i.e. to his mind)! d) Dative of Separation. Some verbs of _taking away_, especially compounds of ab, de, ex, ad, govern a Dative of the person, less often of the thing; as,-- honorem detraxerunt homini, _they took away the honor from the man_; Caesar regi tetrarchiam eripuit, _Caesar took the tetrarchy away from the king_; silici scintillam excudit, _he struck a spark from the flint_. Dative of Agency. 189. The Dative is used to denote _agency_-- 1. Regularly with the Gerundive; as,-- haec nobis agenda sunt, _these things must be done by us_; mihi eundum est, _I must go_ (lit. _it must be gone by me_). a. To avoid ambiguity, a with the Ablative is sometimes used with the Gerundive; as,-- hostibus a nobis parcendum est, _the enemy must be spared by us_. 2. Much less frequently with the compound tenses of the passive voice and the perfect passive participle; as,-- disputatio quae mihi nuper habita est, _the discussion which was recently conducted by me_. 3. Rarely with the uncompounded tenses of the passive; as,-- honesta bonis viris quaeruntur, _noble ends are sought by good men_. Dative of Possession. 190. The Dative of Possession occurs with the verb esse in such expressions as:-- mihi est liber, _I have a book_; mihi nomen est Marcus, _I have the name Marcus_. 1. But with nomen est the name is more commonly attracted into the Dative; as, mihi Marco nomen est. Dative of Purpose or Tendency. 191. The Dative of Purpose or Tendency designates _the end toward which an action is directed_ or _the direction in which it tends_. It is used-- 1. Unaccompanied by another Dative; as,-- castris locum deligere, _to choose a place for a camp_; legiones praesidio relinquere, _to leave the legions as a guard_ (lit. _for a guard_); receptui canere, _to sound the signal for a retreat_. 2. Much more frequently in connection with another Dative of the person:-- a) Especially with some form of esse; as,-- fortunae tuae mihi curae sunt, _your fortunes are a care to me_ (lit. _for a care_); quibus sunt odio, _to whom they are an object of hatred_; cui bono? _to whom is it of advantage_? b) With other verbs; as,-- hos tibi muneri misit, _he has sent these to you for a present_; Pausanias Atticis venit auxilio, _Pausanias came to the aid of the Athenians_ (lit. _to the Athenians for aid_). 3. In connection with the Gerundive; as,-- decemviri legibus scribundis, _decemvirs for codifying the laws_; me gerendo bello ducem creavere, _me they have made leader for carrying on the war_. NOTE.--This construction with the gerundive is not common till Livy. Dative with Adjectives. 192. The use of the Dative with Adjectives corresponds very closely to its use with verbs. Thus:-- 1. Corresponding to the Dative of Indirect Object it occurs with adjectives signifying: _friendly_, _unfriendly_, _similar_, _dissimilar_, _equal_, _near_, _related to_, etc.; as,-- mihi inimicus, _hostile to me_; sunt proximi Germanis, _they are next to the Germans_; noxiae poena par esto, _let the penalty be equal to the damage_. a. For propior and proximus with the Accusative, see Sec. 141, 3. 2. Corresponding to the Dative of Purpose, the Dative occurs with adjectives signifying: _suitable_, _adapted_, _fit_; as,-- castris idoneus locus, _a place fit for a camp_; apta dies sacrificio, _a day suitable for a sacrifice_. NOTE.--Adjectives of this last class often take the Accusative with ad. Dative of Direction. 193. In the poets the Dative is occasionally used to denote the _direction of motion_; as,-- it clamor caelo, _the shout goes heavenward_; cineres rivo fluenti jace, _cast the ashes toward a flowing stream_. 1. By an extension of this construction the poets sometimes use the Dative to denote the _limit of motion_; as,-- dum Latio deos inferret, _till he should bring his gods to Latium_. * * * * * THE GENITIVE. 194. The Genitive is used with Nouns, Adjectives, and Verbs. GENITIVE WITH NOUNS. 195. With Nouns the Genitive is _the case which defines the meaning of the limited noun more closely_. This relation is generally indicated in English by the preposition of. There are the following varieties of the Genitive with Nouns:-- Genitive of Origin, Objective Genitive, Genitive of Material, Genitive of the Whole, Genitive of Possession, Appositional Genitive, Subjective Genitive, Genitive of Quality. 196. Genitive of Origin; as,-- Marci filius, _the son of Marcus_. 197. Genitive of Material; as,-- talentum auri, _a talent of gold_; acervus frumenti, _a pile of grain_. 198. Genitive of Possession or Ownership; as,-- domus Ciceronis, _Cicero's house_. 1. Here belongs the Genitive with causa and gratia. The Genitive always precedes; as,-- hominum causa, _for the sake of men_; meorum amicorum gratia, _for the sake of my friends_. 2. The Possessive Genitive is often used predicatively, especially with esse and fieri; as,-- domus est regis, _the house is the king's_; stulti est in errore manere, _it is (the part) of a fool to remain in error_; de bello judicium imperatoris est, non militum, _the decision concerning war belongs to the general, not to the soldiers_. a. For the difference in force between the Possessive Genitive and the Dative of Possession, see Sec. 359, 1. 199. Subjective Genitive. This denotes _the person who makes or produces something or who has a feeling_; as,-- dicta Platonis, _the utterances of Plato_; timores liberorum, _the fears of the children_. 200. Objective Genitive. This denotes _the object of an action or feeling_; as,-- metus deorum, _the fear of the gods_; amor libertatis, _love of liberty_; consuetudo bonorum hominum, _intercourse with good men_. 1. This relation is often expressed by means of prepositions; as,-- amor erga parentes, _love toward one's parents_. 201. Genitive of the Whole. This designates the _whole_ of which a part is taken. It is used-- 1. With Nouns, Pronouns, Comparatives, Superlatives, and Ordinal Numerals; as,-- magna pars hominum, _a great part of mankind_; duo milia peditum, _two thousand foot-soldiers_; quis mortalium, _who of mortals?_ major fratrum, _the elder of the brothers_; gens maxima Germanorum, _the largest tribe of the Germans_; primus omnium, _the first of all_. a. Yet instead of the Genitive of the Whole we often find ex or de with the Ablative, regularly so with Cardinal numbers and quidam; as,-- fidelissimus de servis, _the most trusty of the slaves_; quidam ex amicis, _certain of his friends_; unus ex militibus, _one of the soldiers_. b. In English we often use _of_ where there is no relation of whole to part. In such cases the Latin is more exact, and does not use the Genitive; as,-- quot vos estis, _how many of you are there?_ trecenti conjuravimus, _three hundred of us have conspired_ (i.e. we, three hundred in number). 2. The Genitive of the Whole is used also with the Nominative or Accusative Singular Neuter of Pronouns, or of Adjectives used substantively; also with the Adverbs parum, satis, and partim when used substantively; as,-- quid consili, _what purpose?_ tantum cibi, _so much food_; plus auctoritatis, _more authority_; minus laboris, _less labor_; satis pecuniae, _enough money_; parum industriae, _too little industry_. a. An Adjective of the second declension used substantively may be employed as a Genitive of the Whole; as, nihil boni, _nothing good_. b. But Adjectives of the third declension agree directly with the noun they limit; as, nihil dulcius, _nothing sweeter_. 3. Occasionally we find the Genitive of the Whole dependent upon Adverbs of place; as,-- ubi terrarum? ubi gentium? _where in the world?_ a. By an extension of this usage the Genitive sometimes occurs in dependence upon pridie and postridie, but only in the phrases pridie ejus diei, _on the day before that_; postridie ejus diei, _on the day after that_. 202. Appositional Genitive. The Genitive sometimes has the force of an appositive; as,-- nomen regis, _the name of king_; poena mortis, _the penalty of death_; ars scribendi, _the art of writing_. 203. Genitive of Quality. The Genitive modified by an Adjective is used to denote quality. This construction presents several varieties. Thus it is used-- 1. To denote some internal or permanent characteristic of a person or thing; as,-- vir magnae virtutis, _a man of great virtue_; rationes ejus modi, _considerations of that sort_. a. Only a limited number of Adjectives occur in this construction, chiefly magnus, maximus, summus, tantus, along with ejus. 2. To denote measure (_breadth_, _length_, etc.); as,-- fossa quindecim pedum, _a trench fifteen feet wide_ (or _deep_); exsilium decem annorum, _an exile of ten years_. 3. Equivalent to the Genitive of Quality (though probably of different origin) are the Genitives tanti, quanti, parvi, magni, minoris, pluris, minimi, plurimi, maximi. These are used predicatively to denote _indefinite value_; as,-- nulla studia tanti sunt, _no studies are of so much value_; magni opera ejus existimata est, _his assistance was highly esteemed_. 4. By an extension of the notion of _value_, quanti, tanti, pluris, and minoris are also used with verbs of _buying_ and _selling_, to denote _indefinite price_; as,-- quanti aedes emisti, _at how high a price did you purchase the house?_ 5. Any of the above varieties of the Genitive of Quality may be used predicatively; as,-- tantae molis erat Romanam condere gentem, _of so great difficulty was it to found the Roman race_. GENITIVE WITH ADJECTIVES. 204. The Genitive is used with many Adjectives _to limit the extent of their application_. Thus:-- 1. With adjectives signifying _desire_, _knowledge_, _familiarity_, _memory_, _participation_, _power_, _fullness_, and their opposites; as,-- studiosus discendi, _desirous of learning_; peritus belli, _skilled in war_; insuetus laboris, _unused to toil_; immemor mandati tui, _unmindful of your commission_; plena periculorum est vita, _life is full of dangers_. a. Some participles used adjectively also take the Genitive; as,-- diligens veritatis, _fond of truth_; amans patriae, _devoted to one's country_. 2. Sometimes with proprius and communis; as,-- viri propria est fortitudo, _bravery is characteristic of a man_. memoria est communis omnium artium, _memory is common to all professions_. a. proprius and communis are also construed with the Dative. 3. With similis the Genitive is the commoner construction in Cicero, when the reference is to living objects; as,-- filius patris simillimus est, _the son is exactly like his father_; mei similis, _like me_; vestri similis, _like you_. When the reference is to things, both Genitive and Dative occur; as,-- mors somno (or somni) similis est, _death is like sleep_. 4. In the poets and later prose writers the use of the Genitive with Adjectives is extended far beyond earlier limits; as, atrox animi, _fierce of temper_; incertus consili, _undecided in purpose_. GENITIVE WITH VERBS. 205. The Genitive is used with the following classes of Verbs:-- _Memini_, _Reminiscor_, _Obliviscor_. 206. 1. WHEN REFERRING TO PERSONS-- a. memini always takes the Genitive of personal or reflexive pronouns; as,-- mei memineris, _remember me_! nostri meminit, _he remembers us_. With other words denoting persons memini takes the Accusative, rarely the Genitive; as,-- Sullam memini, _I recall Sulla_; vivorum memini, _I remember the living_. b. obliviscor regularly takes the Genitive; as,-- Epicuri non licet oblivisci, _we mustn't forget Epicurus_. 2. WHEN REFERRING TO THINGS, memini, reminiscor, obliviscor take sometimes the Genitive, sometimes the Accusative, without difference of meaning; as,-- animus praeteritorum meminit, _the mind remembers the past_; meministine nomina, _do you remember the names?_ reminiscere veteris incommodi, _remember the former disaster_; reminiscens acerbitatem, _remembering the bitterness_. a. But neuter pronouns, and adjectives used substantively, regularly stand in the Accusative; as,-- haec memini, _I remember this;_ multa reminiscor, _I remember many things._ 3. The phrase mihi (tibi, etc.) in mentem venit, following the analogy of memini, takes the Genitive; as,-- mihi patriae veniebat in mentem, _I remembered my country._ _Admoneo_, _Commoneo_, _Commonefacio._ 207. These verbs, in addition to an Accusative of the person, occasionally take a Genitive of the thing; as,-- te veteris amicitiae commonefacio, _I remind you of our old friendship._ a. But more frequently (in Cicero almost invariably) these verbs take de with the Ablative; as,-- me admones de sorore, _you remind me of your sister._ b. A neuter pronoun or adjective used substantively regularly stands in the Accusative (Sec. 178, 1, d); as,-- te hoc admoneo, _I give you this warning._ Verbs of Judicial Action. 208. 1. Verbs of _Accusing_, _Convicting_, _Acquitting_ take the Genitive of the _charge_; as,-- me furti accusat, _he accuses me of theft_; Verrem avaritiae coarguit, _he convicts Verres of avarice_; impietatis absolutus est, _he was acquitted of blasphemy_. 2. Verbs of _Condemning_ take-- a. The Genitive of the _charge_; as,-- pecuniae publicae condemnatus, _condemned (on the charge) of embezzlement_ (lit. _public money_); capitis damnatus, _condemned on a capital charge_ (lit. _on a charge involving his head_). b. The Ablative of the _penalty;_ as,-- capite damnatus est, _he was condemned to death_; mille nummis damnatus est, _he was condemned (to pay) a thousand sesterces_ (lit. _by a thousand sesterces_, Abl. of Means). 3. Note the phrases:-- voti damnatus, voti reus, _having attained one's prayer_ (lit. _condemned on the score of one's vow_); de vi, (_accused_, _convicted_, etc.) _of assault_; inter sicarios, (_accused_, _convicted_, etc.) _of murder_. Genitive with Impersonal Verbs. 209. 1. The Impersonals pudet, paenitet, miseret, taedet, piget take the Accusative of _the person affected_, along with the Genitive _of the person or thing toward whom the feeling is directed_; as,-- pudet me tui, _I am ashamed of you_ (lit. _it shames me of you_); paenitet me hujus facti, _I repent of this act_; eum taedet vitae, _he is weary of life_; pauperum te miseret, _you pity the poor_. a. Instead of the Genitive of the thing we often find an Infinitive or Neuter Pronoun used as subject of the verb. Thus;-- me paenitet hoc fecisse, _I repent of having done this_; me hoc pudet, _I am ashamed of this_. 2. Misereor and miseresco also govern the Genitive; as,-- miseremini sociorum, _pity the allies_. _Interest_, _Refert._ 210. With interest, _it concerns_, three points enter into consideration; viz.-- a) the _person concerned_; b) the _thing about which_ he is concerned; c) the _extent_ of his concern. 211. 1. The _person concerned_ is regularly denoted by the Genitive; as,-- patris interest, _it concerns the father_. a. But instead of the Genitive of the personal pronouns, mei, tui, nostri, vestri, the Latin uses the Ablative Singular Feminine of the Possessive, viz.: mea, tua, etc.; as,-- mea interest, _it concerns me_. 2. The _thing about which_ a person is concerned is denoted-- a) by a Neuter Pronoun as subject; as,-- hoc rei publicae interest, _this concerns the state_. b) by an Infinitive; as,-- omnium interest valere, _it concerns all to keep well_. c) by an Indirect Question; as,-- mea interest quando venias, _I am concerned as to when you are coming_. 3. The _degree of concern_ is denoted-- a) by the Genitive (cf. Sec. 203, 3): magni, parvi, etc.; as,-- mea magni interest, _it concerns me greatly_. b) by the Adverbs, magnopere, magis, maxime, etc.; as,-- civium minime interest, _it concerns the citizens very little_. c) by the Neuters, multum, plus, minus, etc.; as,-- multum vestra interest, _it concerns you much_. 4. Refert follows interest in its construction, except that it rarely takes the Genitive of the person. Thus:-- mea refert, _it concerns me_; but rarely illius refert, _it concerns him_. Genitive with Other Verbs. 212. 1. Verbs of _Plenty_ and _Want_ sometimes govern the Genitive; as,-- pecuniae indiges, _you need money_. a. These verbs more commonly take the Ablative (Sec. 214, 1); indigeo is the only verb which has a preference for the Genitive. 2. Potior, though usually followed by the Ablative, sometimes takes the Genitive, almost always so in Sallust; and regularly in the phrase potiri rerum, _to get control of affairs_. 3. In poetry some verbs take the Genitive in imitation of the Greek; as,-- desine querellarum, _cease your complaints_; operum soluti, _freed from their tasks_. * * * * * THE ABLATIVE. 213. The Latin Ablative unites in itself three cases which were originally distinct both in form and in meaning; viz.-- The Ablative or from-case. The Instrumental or with-case. The Locative or where-case. The uses of the Latin Ablative accordingly fall into Genuine Ablative uses, Instrumental uses, and Locative uses. GENUINE ABLATIVE USES. Ablative of Separation. 214. The Ablative of Separation is construed sometimes with, sometimes without, a preposition. 1. The following words regularly take the Ablative without a preposition:-- a) The Verbs of _freeing_: libero, solvo, levo; b) The Verbs of _depriving_: privo, spolio, exuo, fraudo, nudo; c) The Verbs of _lacking_: egeo, careo, vaco; d) The corresponding Adjectives, liber, inanis, vacuus, nudus, and some others of similar meaning. Thus:-- curis liberatus, _freed from cares_; Caesar hostes armis exuit, _Caesar stripped the enemy of their arms_; caret sensu communi, _he lacks common sense_; auxilio eget, _he needs help_; bonorum vita vacua est metu, _the life of the good is free from fear_. NOTE 1.--Yet Adjectives and libero may take the preposition ab,--regularly so with the Ablative of persons; as,-- urbem a tyranno liberarunt, _they freed the city from the tyrant._ NOTE 2.--Indigeo usually takes the Genitive. See Sec. 212, 1, a. 2. Of Verbs signifying _to keep from_, _to remove_, _to withdraw_, some take the preposition, others omit it. The same Verb often admits both constructions. Examples:-- abstinere cibo, _to abstain from food;_ hostes finibus prohibuerunt, _they kept the enemy from their borders_; praedones ab insula prohibuit, _he kept the pirates from the island_. 3. Other Verbs of separation usually take the Ablative with a Prepositon, particularly compounds of dis- and se-; as,-- dissentio a te, _I dissent from you_; secernantur a nobis, _let them be separated from us_. 4. The Preposition is freely omitted in poetry. Ablative of Source. 215. The Ablative of Source is used with the participles natus and ortus (in poetry also with editus, satus, and some others), to designate _parentage_ or _station_; as,-- Jove natus, _son of Jupiter_; summo loco natus, _high-born_ (lit. _born from a very high place_); nobili genere ortus, _born of a noble family_. 1. Pronouns regularly (nouns rarely) take ex; as, ex me natus, _sprung from me_. 2. To denote remoter descent, ortus ab, or oriundus (with or without ab), is used; as,-- ab Ulixe oriundus, _descended from Ulysses_. Ablative of Agent. 216. The Ablative accompanied by a (ab) is used with passive verbs to denote the _personal agent_; as,-- a Caesare accusatus est, _he was arraigned by Caesar_. 1. Collective nouns referring to persons, and abstract nouns when personified, may be construed as the personal agent. Thus:-- hostes a fortuna deserebantur, _the enemy were deserted by Fortune_; a multitudine hostium montes tenebantur, _the mountains were held by a multitude of the enemy_. 2. Names of animals sometimes admit the same construction. Thus:-- a canibus laniatus est, _he was torn to pieces by dogs_. Ablative of Comparison. 217. 1. The Ablative is often used with Comparatives in the sense of _than_; as,-- melle dulcior, _sweeter than honey_; patria mihi vita carior est, _my country is dearer to me than life_. 2. This construction, as a rule, occurs only as a substitute for quam (_than_) with the Nominative or Accusative. In other cases quam must be used; as,-- tui studiosior sum quam illius, _I am fonder of you than of him_. --Studiosior illo would have meant, _I am fonder of you than he is_. Plus, minus, amplius, longius are often employed as the equivalents of plus quam, minus quam, etc. Thus:-- amplius viginti urbes incenduntur, _more than twenty cities are fired_; minus quinque milia processit, _he advanced less than five miles_. 3. Note the use of opinione with Comparatives; as,-- opinione celerius venit, _he comes more quickly than expected_ (lit. _than opinion_). INSTRUMENTAL USES OF THE ABLATIVE. Ablative of Means. 218. The Ablative is used to denote _means_ or _instrument_; as,-- Alexander sagitta vulneratus est, _Alexander was wounded by an arrow_. There are the following special varieties of this Ablative:-- 1. Utor, fruor, fungor, potior, vescor, and their compounds take the Ablative; as,-- divitiis utitur, _he uses his wealth_ (lit. _he benefits himself by his wealth_); vita fruitur, _he enjoys life_ (lit. _he enjoys himself by life_); munere fungor, _I perform my duty_ (lit. _I busy myself with duty_); carne vescuntur, _they eat flesh_ (lit. _feed themselves by means of_); castris potitus est, _he got possession of the camp_ (lit. _made himself powerful by the camp_). a.. Potior sometimes governs the Genitive. See Sec. 212, 2. 2. With opus est (rarely usus est), _there is need_; as,-- duce nobis opus est, _we need a leader_. a. A Neuter Pronoun or Adjective often stands as subject with opus as predicate. Thus:-- hoc mihi opus est, _this is necessary for me_. b. An ordinary substantive rarely stands as subject. Thus dux nobis opus est is a rare form of expression. c. Note the occasional use of a perfect passive participle with opus est; as,-- opus est properato, _there is need of haste_. 3. With nitor, innixus, and fretus; as,-- nititur hasta, _he rests on a spear_ (lit. _supports himself by a spear_); fretus virtute, _relying on virtue_ (lit. _supported by virtue_). 4. With contineri, consistere, constare, _consist of_; as,-- nervis et ossibus continentur, _they consist of sinews and bones_ (lit. _they are held together by sinews and bones_); mortali consistit corpore mundus, _the world consists of mortal substance_ (lit. _holds together by means of_, etc.). 6. In expressions of the following type:-- quid hoc homine facias, _what can you do with this man?_ quid mea Tulliola fiet, _what will become of my dear Tullia?_ (lit. _what will be done with my dear Tullia?_) 7. In the following special phrases at variance with the ordinary English idiom:-- proelio contendere, vincere, _to contend_, _conquer in battle_; proelio lacessere, _to provoke to battle_; curru vehi, _to ride in a chariot_; pedibus ire, _to go on foot_; castris se tenere, _to keep in camp_. 8. With Verbs of _filling_ and Adjectives of _plenty_; as,-- fossas virgultis complerunt, _they filled the trenches with brush_. a. But plenus more commonly takes the Genitive. See Sec. 204, 1. 9. Under 'Means' belongs also the Ablative of the Way by Which; as,-- vinum Tiberi devectum, _wine brought down (by) the Tiber_. 10. The means may be a person as well as a thing. Thus:-- militibus a lacu Lemanno ad montem Juram murum perducit, _with_ (i.e. by means of) _his troops he runs a wall from Lake Geneva to Mt. Jura_. Ablative of Cause. 219. The Ablative is used to denote cause; as,-- multa gloriae cupiditate fecit, _he did many things on account of his love of glory_. 1. So especially with verbs denoting mental states; as, delector, gaudeo, laetor, glorior, fido, confido. Also with contentus; as,-- fortuna amici gaudeo, _I rejoice at the fortune of my friend (i.e. on account of it_); victoria sua gloriantur, _they exult over their victory_; natura loci confidebant, _they trusted in the character of their country_ (lit. _were confident on account of the character_). a. fido and confido always take the Dative of the person (Sec. 187, II, a); sometimes the Dative of the thing. 2. As Ablatives of Cause are to be reckoned also such Ablatives as jussu, by order of, injussu, _without the order_, rogatu, etc. Ablative of Manner. 220. The Ablative with cum is used to denote manner; as,-- cum gravitate loquitur, _he speaks with dignity_. 1. The preposition may be absent when the Ablative is modified by an adjective; as,-- magna gravitate loquitur, _he speaks with great dignity_. 2. The preposition is regularly absent in the expressions jure, injuria, joco, vi, fraude, voluntate, furto, silentio. 3. A special variety of the Ablative of Manner denotes that _in accordance with which_ or _in pursuance of which_ anything is or is done. It is generally used without a preposition. Thus:-- mea sententia, _according to my opinion_; suis moribus, _in accordance with their custom_; sua sponte, _voluntarily_, _of his (their) own accord_; ea condicione, _on these terms_. Ablative of Attendant Circumstance. 221. The Ablative is often used to denote an _attendant circumstance_ of an action or an event; as,-- bonis auspiciis, _under good auspices_; nulla est altercatio clamoribus umquam habita majoribus, _no debate was ever held under circumstances of greater applause_; exstinguitur ingenti luctu provinciae, _he dies under circumstances of great grief on the part of the province_; longo intervallo sequitur, _he follows at a great distance_. Ablative of Accompaniment. 222. The Ablative with cum is used with verbs of motion to denote _accompaniment_; as,-- cum comitibus profectus est, _he set out with his attendants_; cum febri domum rediit, _he returned home with a fever_. 1. In military expressions the Ablative may stand without cum when modified by any adjective except a numeral; as,-- omnibus copiis, ingenti exercitu, magna manu; but usually cum exercitu, cum duabus legionibus. Ablative of Association. 222A. The Ablative is often used with verbs of _joining_, _mixing_, _clinging_, _exchanging_; also with assuesco, consuesco, assuefacio, and some others to denote _association_; as,-- improbitas scelere juncta, _badness joined with crime_; aer calore admixtus, _air mixed with heat_; assuetus labore, _accustomed to_ (lit. _familiarized with) toil_; pacem bello permutant, _they change peace for_ (lit. _with) war_. Ablative of Degree of Difference. 223. The Ablative is used with comparatives and words involving comparison (as post, ante, infra, supra) to denote the _degree of difference_; as,-- dimidio minor, _smaller by a half_; tribus pedibus altior, _three feet higher_; paulo post, _a little afterwards_; quo plura habemus, eo cupimus ampliora, _the more we have, the more we want_. Ablative of Quality. 224. The Ablative, modified by an adjective, is used to denote _quality;_ as,-- puella eximia forma, _a girl of exceptional beauty_; vir singulari industria, _a man of singular industry_. 1. The Ablative of Quality may also be used predicatively; as,-- est magna prudentia, _he is (a man) of great wisdom_; bono anima sunt, _they are of good courage_. 2. In place of the Adjective we sometimes find a limiting Genitive; as,-- sunt specie et colore tauri, _they are of the appearance and color of a bull_, 3. In poetry the Ablative of Quality sometimes denotes _material;_ as,-- scopulis pendentibus antrum, _a cave of arching rocks._ Ablative of Price. 225. With verbs of _buying_ and _selling_, price is designated by the Ablative; as-- servum quinque minis emit, _he bought the slave for five minae._ 1. The Ablatives magno, plurimo, parvo, minimo (by omission of pretio) are used to denote _indefinite price_; as,-- aedes magno vendidit, _he sold the house for a high price._ 2. For the Genitive of Indefinite Price, see Sec. 203, 4. Ablative of Specification. 226. The Ablative of Specification is used to denote that _in respect to which_ something is or is done; as,-- Helvetii omnibus Gallis virtute praestabant, _the Helvetians surpassed all the Gauls in valor_; pede claudus, _lame in his foot_. 1. Note the phrases:-- major natu, _older_ (lit. _greater as to age_); minor natu, _younger._ 2. Here belongs the use of the Ablative with dignus, _worthy_, indignus, _unworthy_, and dignor, _deem worthy of_; as,-- digni honore, _worthy of honor (i.e. in point of honor_); fide indigni, _unworthy of confidence_; me dignor honore, _I deem myself worthy of honor_. Ablative Absolute. 227. The Ablative Absolute is grammatically independent of the rest of the sentence. In its commonest form it consists of a noun or pronoun limited by a participle; as,-- urbe capta, Aeneas fugit, _when the city had been captured, Aeneas fled_ (lit. _the city having been captured_). 1. Instead of a participle we often find an adjective or noun; as,-- vivo Caesare res publica salva erat, _while Caesar was alive the state was safe_ (lit. _Caesar being alive_); Tarquinio rege, Pythagoras in Italiam venit, _in the reign of Tarquin Pythagoras came into Italy_ (lit. _Tarquin being king_); Cn. Pompejo, M. Crasso consulibus, _in the consulship of Gnaeus Pompey and Marcus Crassus_ (lit. _P. and C. being consuls_). 2. The Ablative Absolute is generally used in Latin where in English we employ subordinate clauses. Thus the Ablative Absolute may correspond to a clause denoting-- a) Time, as in the foregoing examples. b) Condition; as,-- omnes virtutes jacent, voluptate dominante, _all virtues lie prostrate, if pleasure is master_. c) Opposition; as,-- perditis omnibus rebus, virtus se sustentare potest, _though everything else is lost, yet Virtue can maintain herself_. d) Cause; as,-- nullo adversante regnum obtinuit, _since no one opposed him, he secured the throne_. e) Attendant circumstance; as,-- passis palmis pacem petiverunt, _with hands outstretched, they sued for peace_. 3. An Infinitive or clause sometimes occurs in the Ablative Absolute construction, especially in Livy and later writers; as,-- audito eum fugisse, _when it was heard that he had fled_. 4. A noun or pronoun stands in the Ablative Absolute construction only when it denotes a different person or thing from any in the clause in which it stands. Exceptions to this principle are extremely rare. LOCATIVE USES OF THE ABLATIVE. Ablative of Place. _A. Place where._ 228. The place where is regularly denoted by the _Ablative with a preposition_; as,-- in urbe habitat, _he dwells in the city_. 1. But certain words stand in the Ablative without a preposition; viz.-- a) Names of towns,--except Singulars of the First and Second Declensions (see Sec. 232, 1); as,-- Carthagini, _at Carthage_; Athenis, _at Athens_; Vejis, _at Veii_. b) The general words loco, locis, parte; also many words modified by totus or even by other Adjectives; as,-- hoc loco, _at this place_; totis castris, _in the whole camp_. c) The special words: foris, _out of doors_; ruri, _in the country_, terra marique, _on land and sea_. d) The poets freely omit the preposition with any word denoting place; as,-- stant litore puppes, _the sterns rest on the beach_. _B. Place from which.[50]_ 229. Place from which is regularly denoted by the _Ablative with a preposition_; as,-- ab Italia profectus est, _he set out from Italy_; ex urbe rediit, _he returned from the city_. 1. But certain words stand in the Ablative without a preposition; viz.-- a) Names of towns and small islands; as,-- Roma profectus est, _he set out from Rome_; Rhodo revertit, _he returned from Rhodes_. b) domo, _from home_; rure, _from the country_. c) Freely in poetry; as,-- Italia decessit, _he withdrew from Italy_. 2. With names of towns, ab is used to mean _from the vicinity of_, or to denote the point _whence distance is measured;_ as,-- a Gergovia discessit, _he withdrew from the vicinity of Gergovia_; a Roma X milia aberat, _he was ten miles distant from Rome_. Urbe and oppido, when standing in apposition with a town name, are accompanied by a preposition; as,-- Curibus ex oppido Sabinorum, _from Cures, a town of the Sabines_ Ablative of Time. _A. Time at which._ 230. The Ablative is used to denote the time _at which_; as,-- quarta hora mortuus est, _he died at the fourth hour_; anno septuagesimo consul creatus, _elected consul in his seventieth year_. 1. Any word denoting a period of time may stand in this construction, particularly annus, ver, aestas, hiems, dies, nox, hora, comitia (_Election Day_), ludi (_the Games_), etc. 2. Words not denoting time require the preposition in, unless accompanied by a modifier. Thus:-- in pace, _in peace_; in bello, _in war_; but secundo bello Punico, _in the second Punic War_. 3. Expressions like in eo tempore, in summa senectute, take the preposition because they denote _situation_ rather than _time_. _B. Time within which._ 231. Time _within which_ is denoted by the Ablative either _with_ or _without a preposition_; as,-- stella Saturni triginta annis cursum conficit, _the planet Saturn completes its orbit within thirty years_; ter in anno, thrice in the course of the year. 1. Occasionally the Ablative denotes _duration of time_; as,-- biennio prosperas res habuit, _for two years he had a prosperous administration_. * * * * * THE LOCATIVE. 232. The Locative case occurs chiefly in the following words:-- 1. Regularly in the Singular of names of towns and small islands of the first and second declensions, to denote the place _in which_; as,-- Romae, _at Rome_; Corinthi, _at Corinth_; Rhodi, _at Rhodes_. 2. In the following special forms:-- domi, _at home_; humi, _on the ground_; belli, _in war_; militiae, _in war_; vesperi, _at evening_; heri, _yesterday_. 3. Note the phrase pendere animi, lit. _to be in suspense in one's mind_. 4. For urbs and oppidum in apposition with a Locative, see Sec. 169, 4. * * * * * CHAPTER III.--_Syntax of Adjectives._ 233. 1. The word with which an Adjective agrees is called its Subject. 2. Attributive and Predicate Adjectives. An Attributive Adjective is one that limits its subject directly; as,-- vir sapiens, _a wise man_. A Predicate Adjective is one that limits its subject through the medium of a verb (usually esse); as,-- vir est sapiens, _the man is wise_; vir videbatur sapiens, _the man seemed wise_; vir judicatus est sapiens, _the man was judged wise_; hunc virum sapientem judicavimus, _we adjudged this man wise_. 3. Participles and Adjective Pronouns have the construction of Adjectives. AGREEMENT OF ADJECTIVES. 234. Agreement with One Noun. When an Adjective limits one noun it agrees with it in Gender, Number, and Case. 1. Two Adjectives in the Singular may limit a noun in the Plural, as; prima et vicesima legiones, _the first and twentieth legions_. 2. A Predicate Adjective may stand in the Neuter when its Subject is Masculine or Feminine and denotes a thing; as,-- omnium rerum mors est extremum, _death is the end of all things_. 235. Agreement with Two or More Nouns. A. AGREEMENT AS TO NUMBER. 1. When the Adjective is Attributive, it regularly agrees in number with the nearest noun; as,-- pater tuus et mater, _your father and mother_; eadem alacritas et studium, _the same eagerness and zeal_. 2. When the Adjective is Predicative, it is regularly Plural; as,-- pax et concordia sunt pulchrae, _peace and concord are glorious_. B. AGREEMENT AS TO GENDER. 1. When the Adjective is Attributive, it regularly agrees in gender with the nearest noun; as,-- res operae multae ac laboris, _a matter of much effort and labor_. 2. When the Adjective is Predicative-- a) If the nouns are of the same gender, the Adjective agrees with them in gender; as,-- pater et filius capti sunt, _father and son were captured_. Yet with feminine abstract nouns, the Adjective is more frequently Neuter; as,-- stultitia et timiditas fugienda sunt, _folly and cowardice must be shunned_. b) If the nouns are of different gender; then,-- a) In case they denote persons, the Adjective is Masculine; as,-- pater et mater mortui sunt, _the father and mother have died_. b) In case they denote things, the Adjective is Neuter; as,-- honores et victoriae fortuita sunt, _honors and victories are accidental._ c) In case they include both persons and things, the Adjective is,-- aa) Sometimes Masculine; as,-- domus, uxor, liberi inventi sunt, _home, wife, and children are secured._ bb) Sometimes Neuter; as,-- parentes, liberos, domos vilia habere, _to hold parents, children, houses cheap._ cc) Sometimes it agrees with the nearest noun; as,-- populi provinciaeque liberatae sunt, _nations and provinces were liberated._ c) Construction according to Sense. Sometimes an Adjective does not agree with a noun according to strict grammatical form, but according to sense; as,-- pars bestiis objecti sunt, _part (of the men) were thrown to beasts._ ADJECTIVES USED SUBSTANTIVELY. 236. 1. PLURAL ADJECTIVES USED SUBSTANTIVELY. Adjectives are quite freely used as Substantives in the Plural. The Masculine denotes persons; the Neuter denotes things; as,-- docti, _scholars_; parva, _small things_; mali, _the wicked_; magna, _great things_; Graeci, _the Greeks_; utilia, _useful things_; nostri, _our men_. 2. Neuter Plural Adjectives thus used are confined mainly to the Nominative and Accusative cases. Such forms as magnorum, omnium; magnis, omnibus, would ordinarily lead to ambiguity; yet where there is no ambiguity, they sometimes occur; as,-- parvis componere magna, _to compare great things with small_ Otherwise the Latin says: magnarum rerum, magnis rebus, etc. 237. SINGULAR ADJECTIVES USED SUBSTANTIVELY. Adjectives are less freely used as Substantives in the Singular than in the Plural. 1. Masculine Adjectives occur only occasionally in this use; as,-- probus invidet nemini, _the honest man envies nobody_. a. Usually vir, homo, or some similar word is employed; as,-- homo doctus, _a scholar_; vir Romanus, _a Roman_. b. But when limited by a pronoun any adjective may be so used; as,-- hic doctus, _this scholar_; doctus quidam, _a certain scholar_. 2. Neuters are likewise infrequent; as,-- verum, _truth_; justum, _justice_; honestum, _virtue_. a. This substantive use of Neuter Singulars is commonest in the construction of the Genitive of the Whole, and after Prepositions; as,-- aliquid veri, _something true_; nihil novi, _nothing new_; in medio, _in the midst_. 238. From Adjectives which, like the above, occasionally admit the substantive use, must be carefully distinguished certain others which have become nouns; as,-- adversarius, _opponent_; hiberna, _winter quarters_; aequalis, _contemporary_; propinquus, _relative_; amicus, _friend_; socius, _partner_; cognatus, _kinsman_; sodalis, _comrade_; vicinus, _neighbor_; etc. ADJECTIVES WITH THE FORCE OF ADVERBS. 239. The Latin often uses an Adjective where the English idiom employs an Adverb or an adverbial phrase; as,-- senatus frequens convenit, _the senate assembled in great numbers_; fuit assiduus mecum, _he was constantly with me_. COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES. 240. 1. The Comparative often corresponds to the English Positive with '_rather_,' '_somewhat_,' '_too_'; as,-- senectus est loquacior, _old age is rather talkative._ 2. So the Superlative often corresponds to the Positive with '_very_'; as,-- vir fortissimus, _a very brave man._ 3. Strengthening Words. Vel and quam are often used with the Superlative as strengthening particles, vel with the force of '_very_,' and quam with the force of '_as possible_'; as,-- vel maximus, _the very greatest_; quam maximae copiae, _as great forces as possible_. 4. Phrases of the type '_more rich than brave_' regularly take the Comparative in both members; as,-- exercitus erat ditior quam fortior, _the army was more rich than brave._ OTHER PECULIARITIES. 241. 1. Certain Adjectives may be used to denote _a part of an object_, chiefly primus, extremus, summus, medius, infimus, imus; as,-- summus mons, _the top of the mountain_; extrema hieme, _in the last part of the winter_. 2. Prior, primus, ultimus, and postremus are frequently equivalent to a relative clause; as,-- primus eam vidi, _I was the first who saw her_; ultimus decessit, _he was the last who withdrew_. 3. When multus and another adjective both limit the same noun et is generally used; as,-- multae et magnae cogitationes, _many (and) great thoughts_. * * * * * CHAPTER IV.--_Syntax of Pronouns._ PERSONAL PRONOUNS. 242. 1. The Personal Pronouns as subjects of verbs are, as a rule, not expressed except for the purpose of _emphasis_, _contrast_, or _clearness_. Thus ordinarily:-- video, _I see_; amat, _he loves_. But ego te video, et tu me vides, _I see you, and you see me_. 2. The Genitives mei, tui, nostri, vestri are used only as Objective Genitives; nostrum and vestrum as Genitives of the Whole. Thus:-- memor tui, _mindful of you_; desiderium vestri, _longing for you_; nemo vestrum, _no one of you_. a. But nostrum and vestrum are regularly used in the place of the Possessive in the phrases omnium nostrum, omnium vestrum. 3. The First Plural is often used for the First Singular of Pronouns and Verbs. Compare the Eng. editorial 'we.' 4. When two Verbs govern the same object, the Latin does not use a pronoun with the second, as is the rule in English. Thus:-- virtus amicitias conciliat et conservat, _virtue establishes friendships and maintains them_ (not eas conservat). POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS. 243. 1. The Possessive Pronouns, as a rule, are not employed except for the purpose of _clearness_. Thus:-- patrem amo, _I love my father_; de filii morte flebas, _you wept for the death of your son_. But-- de morte filii mei flebas, _you wept for the death of my son_. a. When expressed merely for the sake of clearness, the possessive usually stands after its noun; but in order to indicate emphasis or contrast, it precedes; as,-- sua manu liberos occidit, _with his own hand he slew his children_; mea quidem sententia, _in my opinion at least_. 2. Sometimes the Possessive Pronouns are used with the force of an Objective Genitive; as,-- metus vester, _fear of you_; desiderium tuum, _longing for you_. 3. For special emphasis, the Latin employs ipsius or ipsorum, in apposition with the Genitive idea implied in the Possessive; as,-- mea ipsius opera, _by my own help_; nostra ipsorum opera, _by our own help_. a. So sometimes other Genitives; as,-- mea unius opera, _by the assistance of me alone_. REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS. 244. 1. The Reflexive Pronoun se and the Possessive Reflexive suus have a double use:-- I. They may refer to the subject of the clause (either principal or subordinate) in which they stand,--'Direct Reflexives'; as,-- se amant, _they love themselves_; suos amicos adjuvat, _he helps his own friends_; eum oravi, ut se servaret, _I besought him to save himself_. II. They may stand in a subordinate clause and refer to the subject of the principal clause,--'Indirect Reflexives'; as,-- me oravit ut se defenderem, _he besought me to defend him_ (lit. _that I defend himself_); me oraverunt, ut fortunarum suarum defensionem susciperem, _they besought me to undertake the defense of their fortunes_. a. The Indirect Reflexive is mainly restricted to those clauses which express the thought, not of the author, but of the subject of the principal clause. 2. The Genitive sui is regularly employed, like mei and tui, as an Objective Genitive, _e.g._ oblitus sui, _forgetful of himself_; but it occasionally occurs--particularly in post-Augustan writers--in place of the Possessive suus; as, fruitur fama sui, _he enjoys his own fame_. 3. Se and suus are sometimes used in the sense, _one's self_, _one's own_, where the reference is not to any particular person; as,-- se amare, _to love one's self_; suum genium propitiare, _to propitiate one's own genius_. 4. Suus sometimes occurs in the meaning _his own_, _their own_, etc., referring not to the subject but to an oblique case; as,-- Hannibalem sui cives e civitate ejecerunt, _his own fellow-citizens drove out Hannibal._ a. This usage is particularly frequent in combination with quisque; as,-- suus quemque error vexat, _his own error troubles each_. 5. The Reflexives for the first and second persons are supplied by the oblique cases of ego and tu (Sec. 85); as,-- vos defenditis, _you defend yourselves_. RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS. 245. 1. The Latin has no special reciprocal pronoun ('each other'), but expresses the reciprocal notion by the phrases: inter nos, inter vos, inter se; as,-- Belgae obsides inter se dederunt, _the Belgae gave each other hostages_ (lit. _among themselves_); amamus inter nos, _we love each other_; Galli inter se cohortati sunt, _the Gauls exhorted each other_. a. Note that the Object is not expressed in sentences of this type. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS. Hic, Ille, Iste. 246. 1. Where hic and ille are used in contrast, hic usually refers to the latter of two objects, and ille to the former. 2. Hic and ille are often used in the sense of 'the following'; as,-- Themistocles his verbis epistulam misit, _Themistocles sent a letter (couched) in the following words_; illud intellego, omnium ora in me conversa esse, _I understand this, that the faces of all are turned toward me_. 3. Ille often means _the famous_; as, Solon ille, _the famous Solon_. 4. Iste frequently involves contempt; as, iste homo, _that fellow!_ 5. The above pronouns, along with is, are usually attracted to the gender of a predicate noun; as, hic est honor, meminisse officium suum, _this is an honor, to be mindful of one's duty._ Is. 247. 1. Is often serves as the antecedent of the relative qui. Thus:-- Maximum, eum qui Tarentum recepit, dilexi, _I loved Maximus, the man who retook Tarentum_. a. Closely akin to this usage is is in the sense of _such_ (= talis); as,-- non sum is qui terrear, _I am not such a person as to be frightened_. b. Note the phrase id quod, where id stands in apposition with an entire clause; as,-- non suspicabatur (id quod nunc sentiet) satis multos testes nobis reliquos esse, _he did not suspect (a thing which he will now perceive) that we had witnesses enough left_. Yet quod alone, without preceding id, sometimes occurs in this use. 2. Is also in all cases serves as the personal pronoun of the third person, '_he_,' '_she_,' '_it_,' '_they_,' '_them_.' 3. When the English uses '_that of_,' '_those of_,' to avoid repetition of the noun, the Latin omits the pronoun: as,-- in exercitu Sullae et postea in Crassi fuerat, _he had been in the army of Sulla and afterward in that of Crassus_; nullae me fabulae delectant nisi Plauti, _no plays delight me except those of Plautus_. 4. Note the phrases et is, et ea, etc., in the sense: _and that too_; as,-- vincula, et ea sempiterna, _imprisonment, and that too permanently_. Idem. 248. 1. Idem in apposition with the subject or object often has the force of _also_, _likewise_; as,-- quod idem mihi contigit, _which likewise happened to me_ (lit. _which, the same thing_); bonus vir, quem eundem sapientem appellamus, _a good man, whom we call also wise_. For idem atque (ac), _the same as_, see Sec. 341, 1. c. Ipse. 249. 1. Ipse, literally _self_, acquires its special force from the context; as,-- eo ipso die, _on that very day_; ad ipsam ripam, _close to the bank_; ipso terrore, _by mere fright_; valvae se ipsae aperuerunt, _the doors opened of their own accord_; ipse aderat, _he was present in person_. 2. The reflexive pronouns are often emphasized by the addition of ipse, but ipse in such cases, instead of standing in apposition with the reflexive, more commonly agrees with the subject; as,-- secum ipsi loquuntur, _they talk with themselves_; se ipse continere non potest, _he cannot contain himself_ 3. Ipse is also used as an Indirect Reflexive for the purpose of _marking a contrast or avoiding an ambiguity_; as,-- Persae pertimuerunt ne Alcibiades ab ipsis descisceret et cum suis in gratiam rediret, _the Persians feared that Alcibiades would break with them and become reconciled with his countrymen_; ea molestissime ferre debent homines quae ipsorum culpa contracta sunt, _men ought to chafe most over those things which have been brought about by their own fault_ (as opposed to the fault of others). RELATIVE PRONOUNS. 250. Agreement. 1. The Relative Pronoun agrees with its antecedent in Gender, Number, and Person, but its case is determined by its construction in the clause in which it stands; as,-- mulier quam videbamus, _the woman whom we saw_; bona quibus fruimur, _the blessings which we enjoy_. 2. Where the antecedent is compound, the same principles for number and gender prevail as in case of predicate adjectives under similar conditions (see Sec. 235, B, 2). Thus:-- pater et filius, qui capti sunt, _the father and son who were captured_; stultitia et timiditas quae fugienda sunt, _folly and cowardice which must be shunned_; honores et victoriae quae sunt fortuita, _honors and victories, which are accidental_. 3. The Relative regularly agrees with a predicate noun (either Nominative or Accusative) instead of its antecedent; as,-- carcer, quae lautumiae vocantur, _the prison, which is called Lautumiae_; Belgae, quae est tertia pars, _the Belgians, who are the third part_. 4. Sometimes the Relative takes its gender and number from the meaning of its antecedent; as,-- pars qui bestiis objecti sunt, _a part (of the men) who were thrown to beasts._ 5. Occasionally the Relative is attracted into the case of its antecedent; as,-- natus eo patre quo dixi, _born of the father that I said_. 251. Antecedent. 1. The antecedent of the Relative is sometimes omitted; as,-- qui naturam sequitur sapiens est, _he who follows Nature is wise_. 2. The antecedent may be implied in a possessive pronoun (or rarely an adjective); as,-- nostra qui remansimus caedes, _the slaughter of us who remained_; servili tumultu, quos usus ac disciplina sublevarunt, _at the uprising of the slaves, whom experience and discipline assisted_ (servili = servorum). 3. Sometimes the antecedent is repeated with the Relative; as,-- erant itinera duo, quibus itineribus, _there were two routes, by which (routes)._ 4. Incorporation of Antecedent in Relative Clause. The antecedent is often incorporated in the relative clause. Thus:-- a) When the relative clause stands first; as,-- quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat, _let each one practice the branch which he knows._ b) When the antecedent is an appositive; as,-- non longe a Tolosatium finibus absunt, quae civitas est in provincia, _they are not far from the borders of the Tolosates, a state which is in our province._ c) When the logical antecedent is a superlative; as,-- Themistocles de servis suis, quem habuit fidelissimum, misit, _Themistocles sent the most trusty slave he had_. d) In expressions of the following type-- qua es prudentia; quae tua est prudentia, _such is your prudence_ (lit. _of which prudence you are; which is your prudence_). 5. The Relative is never omitted in Latin as it is in English. Thus _the boy I saw_ must be puer quem vidi. 6. The Relative is used freely in Latin, particularly at the beginning of a sentence, where in English we employ a demonstrative; as,-- quo factum est, _by this it happened_; quae cum ita sint, _since this is so_; quibus rebus cognitis, _when these things became known_. 7. The Relative introducing a subordinate clause may belong grammatically to a clause which is subordinate to the one it introduces; as,-- numquam digne satis laudari philosophia poterit, cui qui pareat, omne tempus aetatis sine molestia possit degere, _philosophy can never be praised enough, since he who obeys her can pass every period of life without annoyance_ (lit. _he who obeys which, etc._). Here cui introduces the subordinate clause possit and connects it with philosophia; but cui is governed by pareat, which is subordinate to possit. INDEFINITE PRONOUNS. 252. 1. Quis, _any one_, is the weakest of the Indefinites, and stands usually in combination with si, nisi, ne, num; as,-- si quis putat, _if any one thinks_. 2. Aliquis (adj. aliqui) is more definite than quis, and corresponds usually to the English _some one_, _somebody_, _some_; as,-- nunc aliquis dicat mihi, _now let somebody tell me_; utinam modo agatur aliquid, _oh that something may be done_. 3. Quidam, _a certain one_, is still more definite than aliquis; as,-- homo quidam, _a certain man_ (i.e., _one whom I have in mind_). a. Quidam (with or without quasi, _as if_) is sometimes used in the sense: _a sort of_, _kind of;_ as,-- cognatio quaedam, _a sort of relationship_; mors est quasi quaedam migratio, _death is a kind of transfer as it were_. 4. Quisquam, _any one_, _any one whoever_ (more general than quis), and its corresponding adjective ullus, _any_, occur mostly in negative and conditional sentences, in interrogative sentences implying a negative, and in clauses of comparison; as,-- justitia numquam nocet cuiquam, _justice never harms anybody_; si quisquam, Cato sapiens fuit, _if anybody was ever wise, Cato was_; potestne quisquam sine perturbatione animi irasci, _can anybody be angry without excitement?_ si ullo modo poterit, _if it can be done in any way_; taetrior hic tyrannus fuit quam quisquam superiorum, _he was a viler tyrant than any of his predecessors_. 5. Quisque, _each one_, is used especially under the following circumstances:-- a) In connection with suus. See Sec. 244, 4, a. b) In connection with a Relative or Interrogative Pronoun; as,-- quod cuique obtigit, id teneat, _what falls to each, that let him hold_. c) In connection with superlatives; as,-- optimus quisque, _all the best_ (lit. _each best one_). d) With ordinal numerals; as,-- quinto quoque anno, _every four years_ (lit. _each fifth year_). 6. Nemo, _no one_, in addition to its other uses, stands regularly with adjectives used substantively; as,-- nemo mortalis, _no mortal_; nemo Romanus, _no Roman_. PRONOMINAL ADJECTIVES. 253. 1. Alius, _another_, and alter, _the other_, are often used correlatively; as,-- aliud loquitur, aliud sentit, _he says one thing, he thinks another_; alii resistunt, alii fugiunt, _some resist, others flee_; alter exercitum perdidit, alter vendidit, _one ruined the army, the other sold it_; alteri se in montem receperunt, alteri ad impedimenta se contulerunt, _the one party retreated to the mountain, the others betook themselves to the baggage_. 2. Where the English says _one does one thing, another another_, the Latin uses a more condensed form of statement; as,-- alius aliud amat, _one likes one thing, another another_; aliud aliis placet, _one thing pleases some, another others_. a. So sometimes with adverbs; as,-- alii alio fugiunt, _some flee in one direction, others in another_. 3. The Latin also expresses the notion '_each other_' by means of alius repeated; as,-- Galli alius alium cohortati sunt, _the Gauls encouraged each other_. 4. Ceteri means _the rest_, _all the others_; as,-- ceteris praestare, _to be superior to all the others_. 5. Reliqui means _the others_ in the sense of _the rest_, _those remaining_,--hence is the regular word with numerals; as,-- reliqui sex, _the six others_. 6. Nescio quis forms a compound indefinite pronoun with the force of _some one or other_; as,-- causidicus nescio quis, _some pettifogger or other_; misit nescio quem, _he sent some one or other_; nescio quo pacto, _somehow or other_. * * * * * CHAPTER V.--_Syntax of Verbs._ AGREEMENT. With One Subject. 254. 1. Agreement in Number and Person. A Finite Verb agrees with its subject in Number and Person; as,-- vos videtis, _you see_; pater filios instituit, _the father trains his sons_. 2. Agreement in Gender. In the compound forms of the verb the participle regularly agrees with its subject in gender; as,-- seditio repressa est, _the mutiny was checked_. 3. But when a predicate noun is of different gender or number from its subject, the verb usually agrees with its nearest substantive; as,-- Tarquinii materna patria erat, _Tarquinii was his native country on his mother's side_; non omnis error stultitia est dicenda, _not every error is to be called folly_. a. Less frequently the verb agrees with an appositive; as,-- Corioli, oppidum Volscorum, captum est, _Corioli, a town of the Volsci, was captured_. 4. Construction according to Sense. Sometimes the verb agrees with its subject according to sense instead of strict grammatical form. Thus:-- a) In Number; as,-- multitudo hominum convenerant, _a crowd of men had gathered_. b) In Gender; as,-- duo milia crucibus adfixi sunt, _two thousand (men) were crucified_. With Two or More Subjects. 255. 1. Agreement in Number. With two or more subjects the verb is regularly plural; as,-- pater et filius mortui sunt, _the father and son died_. 2. But sometimes the verb agrees with the nearest subject; viz.,-- a) When the verb precedes both subjects or stands between them; as,-- mortuus est pater et filius; pater mortuus est et filius. b) When the subjects are connected by aut; aut ... aut; vel ... vel; neque ... neque; as,-- neque pater neque filius mortuus est, _neither father nor son died_. 3. When the different subjects are felt together as constituting a whole, the singular is used; as,-- temeritas ignoratioque vitiosa est, _rashness and ignorance are bad_. a. This is regularly the case in senatus populusque Romanus. 4. Agreement in Person. With compound subjects of different persons the verb always takes the _first_ person rather than the _second_, and the _second_ rather than the _third_; as,-- si tu et Tullia valetis, ego et Cicero valemus, _if you and Tullia are well, Cicero and I are well_. 5. Agreement in Gender. With subjects of different genders the participle in the compound tenses follows the same principles as laid down for predicate adjectives. See Sec. 235, B, 2. VOICES. 256. 1. The Passive Voice sometimes retains traces of its original middle or reflexive meaning; as,-- ego non patiar eum defendi, _I shall not allow him to defend himself_. 2. In imitation of Greek usage many perfect passive participles are used by the poets as indirect middles, i.e. the subject is viewed as acting not upon itself, but as doing something _in his own interest_; as,-- velatus tempora, _having veiled his temples_. a. Occasionally finite forms of the verb are thus used; as,-- tunica inducitur artus, _he covers his limbs with a tunic_. 3. Intransitive Verbs may be used impersonally in the passive; as,-- curritur, _people run_ (lit. _it is run_); ventum est, _he_ (_they_, etc.) _came_ (lit. _it was come_). TENSES. TENSES OF THE INDICATIVE. 257. 1. The Latin tenses express two distinct notions:-- a) The _period of time_ to which the action belongs: Present, Past, or Future. b) The _kind of action_: Undefined, Going on, or Completed. The Latin with its six tenses is able to express each of the three kinds of action for each of the three periods of time (making practically nine tenses). It does this by employing certain tenses in more than one way, as may be seen by the following table:-- KIND OF PERIOD OF TIME. ACTION. PRESENT. PAST. FUTURE. UNDEFINED Present: Historical Future: scribo, _I write_. Perfect: scribam, _I shall scripsi, _I write_. wrote_. GOING ON. Present: Imperfect: Future: scribo, _I am scribebam, _I was scribam, _I shall writing_. writing_. be writing_. COMPLETED. Present Pluperfect: Future Perfect: Perfect: scripseram, _I had scripsero, _I scripsi, _I have written_. shall have written_. written_. 2. It will be seen that the Present may express Undefined action or action Going on; so also the Future. The Perfect likewise has a double use, according as it denotes action Completed in present time (Present Perfect) or Undefined action belonging to past time (Historical Perfect). Principal and Historical Tenses. 258. Tenses which denote Present or Future time are called Principal (or Primary) Tenses, those which denote Past time are called Historical (or Secondary). The Principal Tenses of the Indicative are: Present, Future, Present Perfect, Future Perfect. The Historical Tenses are: Imperfect, Historical Perfect, Pluperfect. Present Indicative. 259. Besides the two uses indicated in the table, the Present Indicative presents the following peculiarities:-- 1. It is used to denote _a general truth_, i.e. something true not merely in the present but at all times ('Gnomic Present'); as,-- virtus conciliat amicitias et conservat, _virtue establishes ties of friendship and maintains them_ (i.e. always does so). 2. It is used of an attempted action ('Conative Present'); as,-- dum vitant vitia, in contraria currunt, _while they try to avoid_ (vitant) _vices, they rush into opposite ones_. 3. In lively narration the Present is often used of a past action ('Historical Present'); as,-- Caesar imperat magnum numerum obsidum, _Caesar demanded a large number of hostages_ (lit. _demands_). 4. In combination with jam, jam diu, jam pridem, and similar words, the Present is frequently used of an action originating in the past and continuing in the present; as,-- jam pridem cupio te visere, _I have long been desiring to visit you_ (i.e. I desire and have long desired). Imperfect Indicative. 260. 1. The Imperfect primarily denotes action _going on in past time_; as,-- librum legebam, _I was reading a book_. a. This force makes the Imperfect especially adapted to serve as the tense of _description_ (as opposed to mere _narration_). 2. From the notion of action _going on_, there easily develops the notion of _repeated_ or _customary_ action; as,-- legatos interrogabat, _he kept asking the envoys_; C. Duilium videbam puer, _as a boy I often used to see Gaius Duilius_. 3. The Imperfect often denotes an attempted action ('Conative Imperfect') or an action as beginning ('Inceptive Imperfect'); as,-- hostes nostros intra munitiones progredi prohibebant, _the enemy tried to prevent_ (prohibebant) _our men from advancing within the fortifications_ ('Conative'); ad proelium se expediebant, _they were beginning to get ready for battle_ ('Inceptive'). 4. The Imperfect, with jam, jam diu, jam dudum, etc., is sometimes used of an action which had been continuing some time; as,-- domicilium Romae multos jam annos habebat, _he had had his residence at Rome for many years_ (i.e. he had it at this time and had long had it). Future Indicative. 261. 1. The Latin is much more exact in the use of the Future than is the English. We say: '_If he comes, I shall be glad_,' where we really mean: '_If he shall come_,' etc. In such cases the Latin rarely admits the Present, but generally employs the Future. 2. Sometimes the Future has Imperative force; as, dices, _say!_ Perfect Indicative. 262. A. PRESENT PERFECT. Several Present Perfects denote the _state resulting from a completed act_, and so seem equivalent to the Present; as,-- novi, cognovi, _I know_ (lit. _I have become acquainted with_); consuevi, _I am wont_ (lit. _I have become accustomed_). B. HISTORICAL PERFECT. The Historical Perfect is the tense of _narration_ (as opposed to the Imperfect, the tense of _description_); as,-- Regulus in senatum venit, mandata exposuit, reddi captivos negavit esse utile, _Regulus came into the Senate, set forth his commission, said it was useless for captives to be returned_. 1. Occasionally the Historical Perfect is used of a general truth ('Gnomic Perfect'). Pluperfect Indicative. 263. The Latin Pluperfect, like the English Past Perfect, denotes an act _completed in the past_; as,-- Caesar Rhenum transire decreverat, sed naves deerant, _Caesar had decided to cross the Rhine, but had no boats_. a. In those verbs whose Perfect has Present force (Sec. 262, A), the Pluperfect has the force of an Imperfect; as,-- noveram, _I knew_. Future Perfect Indicative. 264. The Future Perfect denotes an action _completed in future time_. Thus:-- scribam epistulam, cum redieris, _I will write the letter when you have returned_ (lit. _when you shall have returned_). a. The Latin is much more exact in the use of the Future Perfect than the English, which commonly employs the Present Perfect instead of the Future Perfect. b. In those verbs whose Perfect has Present force (Sec. 262, A) the Future Perfect has the force of a Future; as,-- novero, _I shall know_. Epistolary Tenses. 265. In letters the writer often uses tenses which are not appropriate at the time of writing, but which will be so at the time when his letter is received; he thus employs the Imperfect and the Perfect for the Present, and the Pluperfect for the Present Perfect; as,-- nihil habebam quod scriberem, neque enim novi quidquam audieram et ad tuas omnes epistulas jam rescripseram, _I have nothing to write, for I have heard no news and have already answered all your letters_. TENSES OF THE SUBJUNCTIVE. 266. A. In Independent sentences. See Sec. 272-280. B. In Dependent Sentences. In dependent sentences the tenses of the subjunctive usually conform to the so-called Sequence of Tenses. 267. 1. In the Subjunctive the Present and Perfect are Principal tenses, the Imperfect and Pluperfect, Historical. 2. By the Sequence of Tenses Principal tenses are followed by Principal, Historical by Historical. Thus:-- PRINCIPAL SEQUENCE,-- video quid facias, _I see what you are doing_. videbo quid facias, _I shall see what you are doing_. videro quid facias, _I shall have seen what you are doing_. video quid feceris, _I see what you have done_. videbo quid feceris, _I shall see what you have done_. videro quid feceris, _I shall have seen what you have done_. HISTORICAL SEQUENCE,-- videbam quid faceres, _I saw what you were doing_. vidi quid faceres, _I saw what you were doing_. videram quid faceres, _I had seen what you were doing_. videbam quid fecisses, _I saw what you had done_. vidi quid fecisses, _I saw what you had done_. videram quid fecisses, _I had seen what you had done_. 3. The Present and Imperfect Subjunctive denote incomplete action, the Perfect and Pluperfect completed action, exactly as in the Indicative. Peculiarities of Sequence. 268. 1. The Perfect Indicative is usually an historical tense (even when translated in English as a Present Perfect), and so is followed by the Imperfect and Pluperfect Subjunctive; as,-- demonstravi quare ad causam accederem, _I have shown why I took the case_ (lit. _I showed why_, etc.). 2. A dependent Perfect Infinitive is treated as an historical tense wherever, if resolved into an equivalent Indicative, it would be historical; as,-- videor ostendisse quales dei essent, _I seem to have shown of what nature the gods are_ (ostendisse here corresponds to an Indicative, ostendi, _I showed_). 3. The Historical Present is sometimes regarded as a principal tense, sometimes as historical. Thus:-- Sulla suos hortatur ut forti animo sint, _Sulla exhorts his soldiers to be stout-hearted_; Gallos hortatur ut arma caperent, _he exhorted the Gauls to take arms_. 4. Conditional sentences of the 'contrary-to-fact' type are not affected by the principles for the Sequence of Tenses; as,-- honestum tale est ut, vel si ignorarent id homines, sua tamen pulchritudine laudabile esset, _virtue is such a thing that even if men were ignorant of it, it would still be worthy of praise for its own loveliness_. 5. In conditional sentences of the 'contrary-to-fact' type the Imperfect Subjunctive is usually treated as an Historical tense; as,-- si solos eos diceres miseros, quibus moriendum esset, neminem tu quidem eorum qui viverent exciperes, _if you called only those wretched who must die, you would except no one of those who live_. 6. In clauses of Result and some others, the Perfect Subjunctive is sometimes used as an historical tense. Thus:-- rex tantum motus est, ut Tissaphernem hostem judicarit, _the king was so much moved that he adjudged Tissaphernes an enemy_. This construction is rare in Cicero, but frequent in Nepos and subsequent historians. The Perfect Subjunctive in this use represents a result simply _as a fact without reference to the continuance of the act_, and therefore corresponds to an Historical Perfect Indicative of direct statement. Thus, judicarit in the above example corresponds to adjudicavit, _he adjudged_. To denote a result as _something continuous_, all writers use the Imperfect Subjunctive after historical tenses. 7. Sometimes perspicuity demands that the ordinary principles of Sequence be abandoned altogether. Thus: a) We may have the Present or Perfect Subjunctive after an historical tense; as,-- Verres Siciliam ita perdidit ut ea restitui non possit, _Verres so ruined Sicily that it cannot be restored_ (Direct statement: non potest restitui); ardebat Hortensius dicendi cupiditate sic, ut in nullo flagrantius studium viderim, _Hortensius burned so with eagerness to speak that I have seen in no one a greater desire_ (Direct statement: in nullo vidi, _I have seen in no one_). NOTE.--This usage is different from that cited under 6. Here, by neglect of Sequence, the Perfect is used, though a principal tense; there the Perfect was used as an historical tense. b) We may have a principal tense followed by the Perfect Subjunctive used historically; as,-- nescio quid causae fuerit cur nullas ad me litteras dares, _I do not know what reason there was why you did not send me a letter_. Here fuerit is historical, as is shown by the following Imperfect Subjunctive. Method of Expressing Future Time in the Subjunctive. 269. The Future and Future Perfect, which are lacking to the Latin Subjunctive, are supplied in subordinate clauses as follows:-- 1. a) The Future is supplied by the Present after principal tenses, by the Imperfect after historical tenses. b) The Future Perfect is supplied by the Perfect after principal tenses, by the Pluperfect after historical tenses. This is especially frequent when the context clearly shows, by the presence of a future tense in the main clause, that the reference is to future time. Thus:-- Galli pollicentur se facturos, quae Caesar imperet, _the Gauls promise they will do what Caesar shall order_; Galli pollicebantur se facturos, quae Caesar imperaret, _the Gauls promised they would do what Caesar should order_; Galli pollicentur se facturos quae Caesar imperaverit, _the Gauls promise they will do what Caesar shall have ordered_; Galli pollicebantur se facturos quae Caesar imperavisset, _the Gauls promised they would do what Caesar should have ordered._ 2. Even where the context does not contain a Future tense in the main clause, Future time is often expressed in the subordinate clauses by the Present and Imperfect Subjunctive. Thus:-- timeo ne veniat, _I am afraid he will come_; Caesar exspectabat quid consili hostes caperent, _Caesar was waiting to see what plan the enemy would adopt_. 3. Where greater definiteness is necessary, the periphrastic forms in -urus sim and -urus essem are employed, especially in clauses of Result, Indirect Questions, and after non dubito quin; as,-- non dubito quin pater venturus sit, _I do not doubt that my father will come_; non dubitabam quin pater venturus esset, _I did not doubt that my father would come_. 4. Where the verb has no Future Active Participle, or where it stands in the passive voice, its Future character may be indicated by the use of the particles mox, brevi, statim, etc., in connection with the Present and Imperfect Subjunctive; as,-- non dubito quin te mox hujus rei paeniteat, _I do not doubt that you will soon repent of this thing;_ non dubitabam quin haec res brevi conficeretur, _I did not doubt that this thing would soon be fnished._ TENSES OF THE INFINITIVE. 270. 1. The tenses of the Infinitive denote time not absolutely, but _with reference to the verb on which they depend._ Thus:-- a) The Present Infinitive represents an act as _contemporaneous with_ the time of the verb on which it depends; as,-- videtur honores adsequi, _he seems to be gaining honors_; videbatur honores adsequi, _he seemed to be gaining honors_. b) The Perfect Infinitive represents an act as _prior to_ the time of the verb on which it depends; as,-- videtur honores adsecutus esse, _he seems to have gained honors_; visus est honores adsecutus esse, _he seemed to have gained honors_. c) The Future Infinitive represents an act as _subsequent to_ that of the verb on which it depends; as,-- videtur honores adsecuturus esse, _he seems to be about to gain honors_; visus est honores adsecuturus esse, _he seemed to be about to gain honors_. 2. Where the English says '_ought to have done_,' '_might have done_,' etc., the Latin uses debui, oportuit, potui (debebam, oportebat, poteram), with the Present Infinitive; as,-- debuit dicere, _he ought to have said_ (lit. _owed it to say_); oportuit venire, _he ought to have come_; potuit videre, _he might have seen_. a. Oportuit, volo, nolo (and in poetry some other verbs), may take a Perfect Infinitive instead of the Present; as,-- hoc jam pridem factum esse oportuit, _this ought long ago to have been done_. 3. PERIPHRASTIC FUTURE INFINITIVE. Verbs that have no Participial Stem, express the Future Infinitive Active and Passive by fore ut or futurum esse ut, with the Subjunctive; as,-- spero fore ut te paeniteat levitatis, _I hope you will repent of your fickleness_ (lit. _hope it will happen that you repent_); spero futurum esse ut hostes arceantur, _I hope that the enemy will be kept off_. a. The Periphrastic Future Infinitive is often used, especially in the Passive, even in case of verbs which have the Participial Stem; as,-- spero fore ut hostes vincantur, _I hope the enemy will be conquered_. 4. Passives and Deponents sometimes form a Future Perfect Infinitive with fore; as,-- spero epistulam scriptam fore, _I hope the letter will have been written_; dico me satis adeptum fore, _I say that I shall have gained enough_. THE MOODS. MOODS IN INDEPENDENT SENTENCES. The Indicative in Independent Sentences. 271. The Indicative is used for the _statement of facts_, _the supposition of facts_, or _inquiry after facts_. 1. Note the following idiomatic uses:-- a) With possum; as,-- possum multa dicere, _I might say much_; poteram multa dicere, _I might have said much_ (Sec. 270, 2). b) In such expressions as longum est, aequum est, melius est, difficile est, utilius est, and some others; as,-- longum est ea dicere, _it would be tedious to tell that_; difficile est omnia persequi, _it would be difficult to enumerate everything_. The Subjunctive in Independent Sentences. 272. The Subjunctive is used in Independent Sentences to express something-- 1. As willed--Volitive Subjunctive; 2. As desired--Optative Subjunctive; 3. Conceived of as possible--Potential Subjunctive. VOLITIVE SUBJUNCTIVE. 273. The Volitive Subjunctive represents the action _as willed_. It always implies authority on the part of the speaker, and has the following varieties:-- A. HORTATORY SUBJUNCTIVE. 274. The Hortatory Subjunctive expresses _an exhortation_. This use is confined to the first person plural of the Present. The negative is ne. Thus:-- eamus, _let us go_; amemus patriam, _let us love our country_; ne desperemus, _let us not despair_. B. JUSSIVE SUBJUNCTIVE. 275. The Jussive Subjunctive expresses a _command_. The Jussive stands regularly in the Present Tense, and is used-- 1. Most frequently in the third singular and the third plural; as,-- dicat, _let him tell_; dicant, _let them tell_; quare secedant improbi, _wherefore let the wicked depart!_ 2. Less frequently in the second person, often with indefinite force; as,-- isto bono utare, _use that advantage_; modeste vivas, _live temperately_. C. PROHIBITIVE SUBJUNCTIVE. 276. The Subjunctive is used in the second and third persons singular and plural, with ne, to express _a prohibition_. Both Present and Perfect occur, and without appreciable difference of meaning; as,-- ne repugnetis, _do not resist!_ tu vero istam ne reliqueris, _don't leave her!_ impii ne placare audeant deos, _let not the impious dare to appease the gods!_ a. Neither of these constructions is frequent in classical prose. b. A commoner method of expressing a prohibition in the second person is by the use of noli (nolite) with a following infinitive, or by cave or cave ne with the Subjunctive; as,-- noli hoc facere, _don't do this_ (lit. _be unwilling to do_)! nolite mentiri, _do not lie!_ cave ignoscas, cave te misereat, _do not forgive, do not pity!_ cave ne haec facias, _do not do this_ (lit. _take care lest you do_)! D. DELIBERATIVE SUBJUNCTIVE. 277. The Deliberative Subjunctive is used _in questions and exclamations implying doubt, indignation, the impossibility of an act, obligation, or propriety_. The Present is used referring to present time, the Imperfect referring to past. The negative is non. Thus:-- quid faciam, _what shall I do?_ ego redeam, _I go back!_ huic cedamus! hujus condiciones audiamus! _are we to bow to him! are we to listen to his terms!_ quid facerem, _what was I to do?_ hunc ego non diligam, _should I not cherish this man?_ a. These Deliberative Questions are usually purely Rhetorical in character, and do not expect an answer. E. CONCESSIVE SUBJUNCTIVE. 278. The Subjunctive is used to indicate something _as granted or conceded for the sake of argument_. The Present is used for present time, the Perfect regularly for past. The negative is ne. Thus:-- sit hoc verum, _I grant that this is true_ (lit. _let this be true_); ne sint in senectute vires, _I grant there is not strength in old age_; fuerit malus civis aliis; tibi quando esse coepit, _I grant that he was a bad citizen to others; when did he begin to be so toward you?_ OPTATIVE SUBJUNCTIVE. 279. The Optative Subjunctive occurs in expressions of _wishing_. The negative is regularly ne. 1. The Present Tense, often accompanied by utinam, is used where the wish is conceived of _as possible_. di istaec prohibeant, _may the gods prevent that!_ falsus utinam vates sim, _oh that I may be a false prophet!_ ne veniant, _may they not come!_ 2. The Imperfect expresses, in the form of a wish, the _regret that something is not so now_; the Pluperfect that something _was not so in the past_. The Imperfect and Pluperfect are regularly accompanied by utinam; as,-- utinam istud ex animo diceres, _would that you were saying that in earnest_ (i.e. I regret that you are not saying it in earnest); Pelides utinam vitasset Apollinis arcus, _would that Achilles had escaped the bow of Apollo_; utinam ne natus essem, _would that I had not been born_. POTENTIAL SUBJUNCTIVE. 280. The Potential Subjunctive expresses _a possibility_. The negative is non. The following uses are to be noted:-- 1. The 'May' Potential.--The Potential Subjunctive may designate _a mere possibility_ (English auxiliary _may_). Both Present and Perfect occur, and without appreciable difference of meaning. Thus:-- dicat aliquis, _some one may say_; dixerit aliquis, _some one may say_. a. This construction is by no means frequent, and is confined mainly to a few phrases like those given as examples. 2. 'Should'-'Would' Potential.--The Potential Subjunctive may represent something as _depending upon a condition expressed or understood_ (English auxiliary _should_, _would_). Both Present and Perfect occur, and without appreciable difference of meaning. Thus:-- fortunam citius reperias quam retineas, _one would more quickly find Fortune than keep it_ (i.e. if one should make the trial); crediderim, _I should believe_. a. Here belongs the use of velim, malim, nolim, as softened forms of statement for volo, malo, nolo. Thus:-- velim mihi ignoscas, _I wish you would forgive me_; nolim putes me jocari, _I don't want you to think I'm joking_. b. When the condition is expressed, we get one of the regular types of Conditional Sentences (see Sec. 303); as,-- dies deficiat, si coner enumerare causas, _time would fail if I should attempt to enumerate the reasons._ 3. 'Can'-'Could' Potential.--In the Present and Imperfect the Potential occurs in the second person singular (with _indefinite_ force; Sec. 356, 3) of a few verbs of _perceiving_, _seeing_, _thinking_, and the like; as,-- videas, cernas, _one can see_, _one can perceive_; crederes, _one could believe_; videres, cerneres, _one could see_, _perceive_; putares, _one could imagine_. 4. The Imperfect and Pluperfect in the Apodosis of conditional sentences of the contrary-to-fact type (see Sec. 304) are also Potential in character. By omission of the Protasis, such an Apodosis sometimes stands alone, particularly vellem, nollem, mallem; as,-- vellem id quidem, _I should wish that_ (i.e. were I bold enough). The Imperative. 281. The Imperative is used in _commands_, _admonitions_ and _entreaties_ (negative ne), as,-- egredere ex urbe, _depart from the city_; mihi ignosce, _pardon me_; vale, _farewell_. 1. The Present is the tense of the Imperative most commonly used, but the Future is employed-- a) Where there is a distinct reference to future time, especially in the apodosis of conditional sentences; as,-- rem vobis proponam; vos eam penditote, _I will lay the matter before you; do you (then) consider it_; si bene disputabit, tribuito litteris Graecis, _if he shall speak well, attribute it to Greek literature._ b) In laws, treaties, wills, maxims, etc.; as,-- consules summum jus habento, _the consuls shall have supreme power_; hominem mortuom in urbe ne sepelito, _no one shall bury a dead body in the city_; amicitia regi Antiocho cum populo Romano his legibus et condicionibus esto, _let there be friendship between Antiochus and the Roman people on the following terms and conditions_; quartae esto partis Marcus heres, _let Marcus be heir to a fourth (of the property_); ignoscito saepe alteri, numquam tibi, _forgive your neighbor often, yourself never_. 2. Except with the Future Imperative the negative is not used in classical prose. Prohibitions are regularly expressed in other ways. See Sec. 276, b. 3. Questions in the Indicative introduced by quin (_why not?_) are often equivalent to an Imperative or to the Hortatory Subjunctive; as,-- quin abis, _go away!_ (lit. _why don't you go away?_); quin vocem continetis, _keep still!_ (lit. _why don't you stop your voices?_); quin equos conscendimus, _let us mount our horses_ (lit. _why do we not mount our horses?_) MOODS IN DEPENDENT CLAUSES. Clauses of Purpose. 282. 1. Clauses of Purpose are introduced most commonly by ut (uti), quo (_that_, _in order that_), ne (_in order that not, lest_), and stand in the Subjunctive, as,-- edimus ut vivamus, _we eat that we may live;_ adjuta me quo hoc fiat facilius, _help me, in order that this may be done more easily;_ portas clausit, ne quam oppidani injuriam acciperent, _he closed the gates, lest the townspeople should receive any injury._ a. Quo, as a rule, is employed only when the purpose clause contains a comparative or a comparative idea. Occasional exceptions occur; as,-- haec faciunt quo Chremetem absterreant, _they are doing this in order to frighten Chremes._ b. Ut ne is sometimes found instead of ne. Thus:-- ut ne quid neglegenter agamus, _in order that we may not do anything carelessly_. c. Ut non (not ne) is used where the negation belongs to some single word, instead of to the purpose clause as a whole. Thus:-- ut non ejectus ad alienos, sed invitatus ad tuos videare, _that you may seem not driven out among strangers, but invited to your own friends._ d. To say '_and that not_' or '_or that not_,' the Latin regularly uses neve (neu); as,-- ut earum rerum vis minueretur, neu ponti nocerent, _that the violence of these things might be lessened, and that they might not harm the bridge_; profugit, ne caperetur neve interficeretur, _he fled, that he might not be captured or killed._ e. But neque (for neve) is sometimes used in a second Purpose Clause when ut stands in the first, and, after the Augustan era, even when the first clause is introduced by ne. f. Purpose Clauses sometimes stand in apposition with a preceding noun or pronoun: as,-- hac causa, ut pacem haberent, _on this account, that they might have peace._ 2. A Relative Pronoun (qui) or Adverb (ubi, unde, quo) is frequently used to introduce a Purpose Clause; as,-- Helvetii legatos mittunt, qui dicerent, _the Helvetii sent envoys to say_ (lit. _who should say_); haec habui, de senectute quae dicerem, _I had these things to say about old age_; non habebant quo se reciperent, _they had no place to which to flee_ (lit. _whither they might flee_). a. Qui in such clauses is equivalent to ut is, ut ego, etc.; ubi to ut ibi; unde to ut inde; quo to ut eo. 3. Relative Clauses of purpose follow dignus, indignus, and idoneus; as,-- idoneus fuit nemo quem imitarere, _there was no one suitable for you to imitate_ (_cf_. nemo fuit quem imitarere, _there was no one for you to imitate_); dignus est qui aliquando imperet, _he is worthy to rule sometime_. 4. Purpose Clauses often depend upon something to be supplied from the context instead of upon the principal verb of their own sentences; as,-- ut haec omnia omittam, abiimus, _to pass over all this,_ (_I will say that_) _we departed_. Clauses of Characteristic. 283. 1. A relative clause used _to express a quality or characteristic of a general or indefinite antecedent_ is called a Clause of Characteristic, and usually stands in the Subjunctive; as,-- multa sunt, quae mentem acuant, _there are many things which sharpen the wits._ Clauses of Characteristic are opposed to those relative clauses which are used merely to state some fact about a definite antecedent, and which therefore take the Indicative; as,-- Cato, senex jucundus, qui Sapiens appellatus est, _Cato, a delightful old man, who was called 'The Wise.'_ The Clause of Characteristic implies '_a person of the sort that does something_'; the Indicative relative clause implies '_a particular person who does something_.' 2. Clauses of Characteristic are used especially after such expressions as, est qui; sunt qui; nemo est qui; nullus est qui; unus est qui; solus est qui; quis est qui; is qui; etc. Thus:-- sunt qui dicant, _there are (some) who say_; nemo est qui nesciat, _there is nobody who is ignorant_; sapientia est una quae maestitiam pellat, _philosophy is the only thing that drives away sorrow_; quae civitas est quae non everti possit, _what state is there that cannot be overthrown?_ non is sum qui improbos laudem, _I am not the sort of man that praises the wicked._ a. Sometimes (very rarely in Cicero and Caesar) the clause of characteristic is used after comparatives; as,-- non longius hostes aberant quam quo telum adigi posset, _the enemy were not too far off for a dart to reach them_ (lit. _further off than [a point] to which a dart could be cast_). 3. The Clause of Characteristic often conveys an accessory notion of cause (_since_) or opposition (_although_). Thus:-- a) Cause. The relative is then frequently accompanied by ut, quippe, utpote; as,-- o fortunate adulescens, qui tuae virtutis Homerum praeconem inveneris, _O fortunate man, since you have found a Homer as the herald of your valor_; ut qui optimo jure eam provinciam obtinuerit, _since he held that province by excellent right_. b) Opposition:-- egomet qui sero Graecas litteras attigissem, tamen complures dies Athenis commoratus sum, _I, although I had taken up Greek literature late in life, nevertheless tarried several days at Athens_. 4. Clauses of Characteristic may also be introduced by quin = qui (quae, quod) non; as,-- nemo est quin saepe audierit, _there is no one who has not often heard_; nemo fuit militum quin vulneraretur, _there was no one of the soldiers who was not wounded_. 5. Related to Clauses of Characteristic are also phrases of the type: quod sciam, _so far as I know_; quem (quam, quod), audierim, _so far as I have heard_. Clauses of Result. 284. 1. Clauses of Result are usually introduced by ut (_that_, _so that_), negative ut non (_so that not_), and take the Subjunctive. The main clause often contains tantus, talis, tot, is (= talis), tam, ita, sic, adeo, or some similar word. Thus:-- quis tam demens est ut sua voluntate maereat, _who is so senseless as to mourn of his own volition?_ Siciliam ita vastavit ut restitui in antiquum statum non possit, _he so ravaged Sicily that it cannot be restored to its former condition_; mons altissimus impendebat, ut facile perpauci prohibere possent, _a very high mountain overhung, so that a very few could easily stop them_; non is es ut te pudor umquam a turpitudine avocarit, _you are not so constituted that shame ever called you back from baseness_. 2. A Result Clause is often introduced by a Relative Pronoun or Adverb, qui (= ut is), quo (= ut eo), etc.; as,-- nemo est tam senex qui se annum non putet posse vivere, _nobody is so old as not to think he can live a year_; habetis eum consulem qui parere vestris decretis non dubitet, _you have a consul such as does not hesitate to obey your decrees_. a. These Relative Clauses of Result are closely related to the Clause of Characteristic, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the two constructions. It is best to class the relative clause as one of Characteristic, unless the result idea is clear and unmistakable. 3. Result clauses may also be introduced by quin = ut non; as,-- nihil tam difficile est quin quaerendo investigari possit, _nothing is so difficult that it cannot be discovered by searching_; nemo est tam fortis quin rei novitate perturbetur, _no one is so steadfast as not to be thrown into confusion by a strange occurrence_. 4. Note the use of quam ut (sometimes quam alone) to denote Result after comparatives; as,-- urbs erat munitior quam ut primo impetu capi posset, _the city was too strongly fortified to be taken at the first attack_ (lit. _more strongly fortified than [so] that it could be taken, etc._). Causal Clauses. 285. Causal clauses are introduced chiefly by the following particles:-- 1. Quod, quia, quoniam. 2. Cum. 3. Quando. 286. The use of moods is as follows:-- 1. Quod, quia, quoniam take the Indicative when the reason is _that of the writer or speaker;_ they take the Subjunctive when the reason is viewed _as that of another._ Thus:-- Parthos timeo quod diffido copiis nostris, _I fear the Parthians, because I distrust our troops_. Themistocles, quia non tutus erat, Corcyram demigravit, _Themistocles, since he was not safe, moved to Corcyra_. neque me vixisse paenitet, quoniam bene vixi, _I do not regret having lived, since I have lived well_. Socrates accusatus est quod corrumperet juventutem, _Socrates was arraigned on the ground that he was corrupting the young_. (Here the reason is not that of the writer but of the accuser. Hence the Subjunctive.) Haedui Caesari gratias egerunt quod se periculo liberavisset, _the Haedui thanked Caesar because he had delivered them from danger_. (The reason of the Haedui.) quoniam Miltiades dicere non posset, verba pro eo fecit Tisagoras, _since Miltiades could not speak, Tisagoras spoke for him_. (The reason of Tisagoras.) noctu ambulabat Themistocles, quod somnum capere non posset, _Themistocles used to walk at night because (as he said) he couldn't sleep_. a. Verbs of _thinking_ and _saying_ often stand in the Subjunctive in causal clauses as though the act of thinking or saying, and not the contents of the thought or language, constituted the reason. Thus:-- Bellovaci suum numerum non compleverunt quod se suo nomine cum Romanis bellum gesturos dicerent, _the Bellovaci did not furnish their complement, because they said they were going to wage war with the Romans on their own account_. b. Non quod, non quo (by attraction for non eo quod), non quia, _not that_, _not because_; and non quod non, non quo non, non quin, _not that ... not_; _not because ... not_; _not but that_, are usually employed merely to introduce a hypothetical reason, and hence take the Subjunctive; as,-- id feci, non quod vos hanc defensionem desiderare arbitrarer, sed ut omnes intellegerent, _this I did, not because I thought you needed this defense, but that all might perceive_; Crasso commendationem non sum pollicitus, non quin eam valituram apud te arbitrarer, sed egere mihi commendatione non videbatur, _I did not promise a recommendation to Crassus, not that I did not think it would have weight with you, but because he did not seem to me to need recommendation_. c. But clauses introduced by non quod, non quia take the Indicative _if they state a fact_, even though that fact is denied to be the reason for something; as,-- hoc ita sentio, non quia sum ipse augur, sed quia sic existimare nos est necesse, _this I think, not because I am myself an augur (which I really am), but because it is necessary for us to think so_. 2. Cum causal regularly takes the Subjunctive; as,-- quae cum ita sint, _since this is so_; cum sis mortalis, quae mortalia sunt, cura, _since you are mortal, care for what is mortal_. a. Note the phrase cum praesertim (praesertim cum), _especially since;_ as,-- Haeduos accusat, praesertim cum eorum precibus adductus bellum susceperit, _he blamed the Haedui, especially since he had undertaken the war at their entreaties_. 3. Quando (less frequent than the other causal particles) governs the Indicative; as,-- id omitto, quando vobis ita placet, _I pass over that, since you so wish_. Temporal Clauses introduced by _Postquam_, _Ut_, _Ubi_, _Simul ac_, etc. 287. 1. Postquam (posteaquam), _after_; ut, ubi, _when_; cum primum, simul, simul ac (simul atque), _as soon as_, when used to refer _to a single past act_ regularly take the Perfect Indicative; as,-- Epaminondas postquam audivit vicisse Boeotios, 'Satis' inquit 'vixi,' _Epaminondas, after he heard that the Boeotians had conquered, said, 'I have lived enough;'_ id ut audivit, Corcyram demigravit, _when he heard this, he moved to Corcyra_; Caesar cum primum potuit, ad exercitum contendit, _Caesar, as soon as he could, hurried to the army_; ubi de Caesaris adventu certiores facti sunt, legatos ad eum mittunt, _when they were informed of Caesar's arrival, they sent envoys to him_. a. The Historical Present may take the place of the Perfect in this construction. 2. To denote _the repeated occurrence_ of an act, ut, ubi, simul atque, _as often as_, when following an historical tense, take the Pluperfect Indicative (compare Sec. 288, 3; 302, 3); as,-- ut quisque Verris animum offenderat, in lautumias statim coniciebatur, _whenever anybody had offended Verres's feelings, he was forthwith put in the stone-quarry_; hostes, ubi aliquos egredientes conspexerant, adoriebantur, _whenever the enemy had seen any men disembarking, they attacked them_. a. In Livy and succeeding historians the Imperfect and Pluperfect Subjunctive are used to denote this repeated occurrence of an act ('Indefinite Frequency'); as,-- id ubi dixisset hastam mittebat, _whenever he had said that, he hurled a spear_. 3. Occasionally the above conjunctions are followed by the Pluperfect Indicative of a single occurrence. This is regularly the case with postquam in expressions denoting a definite interval of time (days, months, years, etc.), such as post tertium annum quam, triennio postquam. Thus:-- quinque post diebus quam Luca discesserat, ad Sardiniam venit _five days after he had departed from Luca he came to Sardinia_; postquam occupatae Syracusae erant, profectus est Carthaginem, _after Syracuse had been seized, he set out for Carthage_. 4. The Imperfect Indicative also sometimes occurs, to denote _a continued state;_ as,-- postquam Romam adventabant, senatus consultus est, _after they were on the march toward Rome, the Senate was consulted_; postquam structi utrimque stabant, _after they had been drawn up on both sides and were in position_. 5. Rarely postquam, posteaquam, following the analogy of cum, take the Subjunctive, but only in the historical tenses; as,-- posteaquam sumptuosa fieri funera coepissent, lege sublata sunt, _after funerals had begun to be elaborate, they were done away with by law_. Temporal Clauses introduced by _Cum_. A. Cum REFERRING TO THE PAST. 288. 1. Cum, when referring to the past, takes,-- A. The Indicative (Imperfect, Historical Perfect, or Pluperfect) to denote _the point of time at which_ something occurs. B. The Subjunctive (Imperfect or Pluperfect) to denote _the situation or circumstances under which_ something occurs. Examples:-- INDICATIVE. an tum eras consul, cum in Palatio mea domus ardebat, _or were you consul at the time when my house burned up on the Palatine?_ credo tum cum Sicilia florebat opibus et copiis magna artificia fuisse in ea insula, _I believe that at the time when Sicily was powerful in riches and resources there were great crafts in that island_; eo tempore paruit cum parere necesse erat, _he obeyed at the time when it was necessary to obey_; illo die, cum est lata lex de me, _on that day when the law concerning me was passed_. SUBJUNCTIVE. Lysander cum vellet Lycurgi leges commutare, prohibitus est, _when Lysander desired to change the laws of Lycurgus, he was prevented_; Pythagoras cum in geometria quiddam novi invenisset, Musis bovem immolasse dicitur, _when Pythagoras had discovered something new in geometry, he is said to have sacrificed an ox to the Muses_. a. Note that the Indicative is much less frequent in such clauses than the Subjunctive, and is regularly confined to those cases where the main clause has tum, eo die, eo anno, eo tempore or some similar correlative of the cum. Sometimes it depends entirely upon the point of view of the writer whether he shall employ the Indicative or Subjunctive. 2. Cum Inversum. When the logical order of the clauses is inverted, we find cum with the Perfect Indicative or Historical Present, in the sense of _when_, _when suddenly_. The main clause in such cases often has jam, vix, aegre, nondum; as,-- jam Galli ex oppido fugere apparabant, cum matres familiae repente procurrerunt, _the Gauls were already preparing to flee, when suddenly the matrons rushed forth_ (logically, _the matrons rushed forth as the Gauls were preparing to flee_); Treviri Labienum adoriri parabant, cum duas legiones venisse cognoscunt, _the Treviri were preparing to attack, when (suddenly) they learned that two legions had arrived_. 3. To denote a _recurring action_ in the past, cum is followed by the Indicative, particularly of the Pluperfect (compare Sec. 287, 2; 302, 3); as,-- cum ad aliquod oppidum venerat, eadem lectica ad cubiculum deferebatur, _whenever he had arrived at some town, he was (always) carried in the same litter to his room_; cum equitatus noster se in agros ejecerat, essedarios ex silvis emittebat, _whenever our cavalry had advanced into the fields, he would send his charioteers out from the woods_. a. Sometimes the Imperfect or Pluperfect Subjunctive is thus used; as,-- saepe cum aliquem videret minus bene vestitum, suum amiculum dedit, _often, wherever he saw some one more poorly clothed, he gave him his own mantle_; cum procucurrissent, Numidae effugiebant, _as often as they had advanced, the Numidians ran away_. This construction is frequent in Livy and subsequent historians. B. Cum REFERRING TO THE PRESENT OR FUTURE. 289. When cum refers to the Present or Future it regularly takes the Indicative; as,-- tum tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet, _your own interests are at stake when your neighbor's house is burning_; cum videbis, tum scies, _when you see, then you will know._ a. The Indicative of the Present or Future may denote also a _recurring action;_ as,-- stabilitas amicitiae confirmari potest, cum homines cupidinibus imperabunt, _firm friendship can be established whenever men shall control their desires._ C. OTHER USES OF Cum. 290. 1. Cum Explicative. Cum, with the Indicative, is sometimes used to indicate the identity of one act with another; as,-- cum tacent clamant, _their silence is a shout_ (lit. _when they are silent, they shout_). 2. Cum ... tum. When cum ... tum mean _both ... and_, the cum-clause is in the Indicative; but when cum has the force of _while_, _though_, it may take the Subjunctive; as,-- cum te semper dilexerim, tum tuis factis incensus sum, _while I have always loved you, at the same time I am stirred by your conduct_. Clauses introduced by _Antequam_ and _Priusquam_. A. WITH THE INDICATIVE. 291. Antequam and priusquam (often written ante ... quam, prius ... quam) take the Indicative to denote _an actual fact_. 1. Sometimes the Present or Future Perfect; as,-- prius respondes quam rogo, _you answer before I ask_; nihil contra disputabo priusquam dixerit, _I will say nothing in opposition, before he speaks_. 2. Sometimes the Perfect, especially after negative clauses; as,-- non prius jugulandi finis fuit, quam Sulla omnes suos divitiis explevit, _there was no end of murder until Sulla satisfied all his henchmen with wealth_. B. WITH THE SUBJUNCTIVE. 292. Antequam and priusquam take the Subjunctive to denote an act as _anticipated_. 1. Thus the Subjunctive may denote-- a) An act in preparation for which the main act takes place; as,-- priusquam dimicarent, foedus ictum est, _i.e. in anticipation of the fight, a treaty was struck._ By an extension of this usage, the Subjunctive is sometimes used of _general truths_, where the anticipatory notion has faded out; as,-- tempestas minatur antequam surgat, _the tempest threatens before it rises_. b) An act anticipated and forestalled; as,-- priusquam telum adici posset, omnis acies terga vertit, _before a spear could be hurled, the whole army fled._ c) An act anticipated and deprecated; as,-- animum omittunt priusquam loco demigrent, _they die rather than quit their post._ 2. After historical tenses the Imperfect Subjunctive is used, especially by some writers, where the notion of anticipation has practically vanished; as,-- sol antequam se abderet fugientem vidit Antonium, _the sun before it set saw Antony fleeing._ Clauses introduced by _Dum_, _Donec_, _Quoad_. 293. 1. Dum, _while_, regularly takes the Indicative of the Historical Present; as,-- Alexander, dum inter primores pugnat, sagitta ictus est, _Alexander, while he was fighting in the van, was struck by an arrow_; dum haec geruntur, in fines Venellorum pervenit, _while these things were being done, he arrived in the territory of the Venelli_. II. Dum, donec, and quoad, _as long as_, take the Indicative; as,-- dum anima est, spes est, _as long as there is life, there is hope_; Lacedaemoniorum gens fortis fuit, dum Lycurgi leges vigebant, _the race of the Lacedaemonians was powerful, as long as the laws of Lycurgus were in force_; Cato, quoad vixit, virtutum laude crevit, _Cato, at long as he lived, increased in the fame of his virtues_. III. Dum, donec, and quoad, _until_, take:-- 1. The Indicative, to denote _an actual event_; as,-- donec rediit, fuit silentium, _there was silence till he came_; ferrum in corpore retinuit, quoad renuntiatum est Boeotios vicisse, _he kept the iron in his body until word was brought that the Boeotians had conquered_. a. In Livy and subsequent historians dum and donec in this sense often take the Subjunctive instead of the Indicative; as,-- trepidationis aliquantum edebant donec timor quietem fecisset, _they showed some trepidation, until fear produced quiet_. 2. The Subjunctive, to denote _anticipation_ or _expectancy_; as,-- exspectavit Caesar dum naves convenirent, _Caesar waited for the ships to assemble_; dum litterae veniant, morabor, _I shall wait for the letter to come_. Substantive Clauses. 294. A Substantive Clause is one which as a whole serves as the Subject or Object of a verb, or stands in some other case relation. A. Substantive Clauses developed from the Volitive. 295. Substantive Clauses Developed from the Volitive are used with the following classes of verbs:-- 1. With verbs signifying _to admonish_, _request_, _command_, _urge_, _persuade_, _induce_,[51] etc. (conjunctions ut, ne, or ut ne); as,-- postulo ut fiat, _I demand that it be done_ (dependent form of the Jussive fiat, _let it be done!_); orat, ne abeas, _he begs that you will not go away_; milites cohortatus est ut hostium impetum sustinerent, _he exhorted his soldiers to withstand the attack of the enemy_; Helvetiis persuasit ut exirent, _he persuaded the Helvetii to march forth_. a. Jubeo, _command_, _order_, regularly takes the Infinitive. 2. With verbs signifying _to grant_, _concede_, _permit_, _allow_,[52] etc. (conjunction ut); as,-- huic concedo ut ea praetereat, _I allow him to pass that by_ (dependent form of the Jussive ea praetereat, _let him pass that by!_); consuli permissum est ut duas legiones scriberet, _the consul was permitted to enroll two legions_. 3. With verbs of _hindering_, _preventing_,[53] etc. (conjunctions ne, quominus, quin); as,-- ne lustrum perficeret, mors prohibuit, _death prevented him from finishing the lustrum_ (dependent form after past tense of ne lustrum perficiat, _let him not finish_, etc.); prohibuit quominus in unum coirent, _he prevented them from coming together_; nec quin erumperet, prohiberi poterat, _nor could he be prevented from rushing forth_. a. Quin is used only when the verb of _hindering_ is accompanied by a negative, or stands in a question implying a negative; it is not _necessarily_ used even then. 4. With verbs of _deciding_, _resolving_,[54] etc. (conjunctions ut, ne, or ut ne); as,-- constitueram ut pridie Idus Aquini manerem, _I had decided to remain at Aquinum on the 12th_; decrevit senatus ut Opimius videret, _the Senate decreed that Opimius should see to it_; convenit ut unis castris miscerentur, _it was agreed that they should be united in one camp_. 5. With verbs of _striving_,[55] etc. (conjunctions ut, ne, or ut ne); as,-- fac ut eum exores, _see to it that you prevail upon him!_ cura ut vir sis, _see to it that you are a man!_ laborabat ut reliquas civitates adjungeret, _he was striving to join the remaining states to him_. a. Conor, _try_, always takes the Infinitive. NOTE.--Verbs of all the above classes also admit the Infinitive, especially in poetry. 6. With a few other expressions, such as necesse est, reliquus est, sequitur, licet, oportet; as,-- sequitur ut doceam, _it remains for me to show_; licet redeas, _you may return_; oportet loquamur, _we must speak_. On the absence of ut with licet and oportet, see paragraph 8. 7. Here also belong phrases of the type: nulla causa est cur, quin; non est cur, etc.; nihil est cur, etc.; as,-- nulla causa est cur timeam, _there is no reason why I should fear_ (originally Deliberative: _why should I fear? There's no reason_); nihil est quin dicam, _there is no reason why I should not say_. 8. Many of the above classes of verbs at times take the simple Subjunctive without ut. In such cases we must not recognize any omission of ut, but simply an earlier form of expression which existed before the ut-clause arose. This is regularly the case with necesse est, licet, and oportet; see 6. Other examples are:-- eos moneo desinant, _I warn them to stop_; huic imperat adeat civitates, _he orders him to visit the states_. B. Substantive Clauses developed from the Optative. 296. Substantive Clauses Developed from the Optative occur:-- 1. With verbs of _wishing_, _desiring_, especially cupio, opto, volo, malo (conjunctions ut, ne, ut ne); as,-- opto ut in hoc judicio nemo improbus reperiatur, _I hope that in this court no bad man may be found_ (here ut reperiatur represents a simple optative of direct statement, viz. reperiatur, _may no bad man be found_!); cupio ne veniat, _I desire that he may not come_. a. The simple Subjunctive (without ut) sometimes occurs with verbs of this class. (See Sec. 295, 8.) Examples are: velim scribas, _I wish you would write_; vellem scripsisset, _I wish he had written_. 2. With expressions of _fearing_ (timeo, metuo, vereor, etc.). Here ne means _that_, _lest_, and ut means _that not_; as,-- timeo ne veniat, _I fear that he will come_ (originally: _may he not come! I'm afraid_ [_he will_]); timeo ut veniat, _I fear that he will not come_ (originally: _may he come! I'm afraid_ [_he won't_]). a. Ne non sometimes occurs instead of ut, especially where the verb of _fearing_ has a negative, or where the writer desires to emphasize some particular word in the dependent clause; as,-- non vereor ne hoc non fiat, _I am not afraid that this will not happen;_ vereor ne exercitum firmum habere non possit, _I fear that he is unable_ (non possit) _to have a strong army._ C. Substantive Clauses of Result. 297. Substantive Clauses of Result (introduced by ut, ut non) are a development of pure Result clauses, and occur with the following classes of words:-- 1. As object clauses after verbs of _doing_, _accomplishing_ (especially facio, efficio, conficio). Thus:-- gravitas morbi facit ut medicina egeamus, _the severity of disease makes us need medicine._ 2. As the subject of several impersonal verbs, particularly fit, efficitur, accidit, evenit, contingit, accedit, fieri potest, fore, sequitur, relinquitur. Thus:-- ex quo efficitur, ut voluptas non sit summum bonum, _from which it follows that pleasure is not the greatest good_; ita fit, ut nemo esse possit beatus, _thus it happens that no one can be happy_; accedebat ut naves deessent, _another thing was the lack of ships_ (lit. _it was added that ships were lacking_). 3. As predicate or appositive after expressions like jus est, mos est, consuetudo est; also after neuter pronouns, hoc, illud, etc. Thus:-- est mos hominum ut nolint eundem pluribus rebus excellere, _it is the way of men not to wish the same person to excel in many things._ D. Substantive Clauses introduced by _Quin_. 298. Substantive Clauses introduced by quin (used sometimes as subject, sometimes as object) occur after negative and interrogative expressions of _doubt_, _omission,_ and the like, particularly after non dubito, _I do not doubt_; quis dubitat, _who doubts?_; non (haud) dubium est, _there is no doubt_. The mood is the Subjunctive. Examples:-- quis dubitat quin in virtute divitiae sint, _who doubts that in virtue there are riches?_ non dubium erat quin venturus esset, _there was no doubt that he was about to come._ a. In Nepos, Livy, and post-Augustan writers an Infinitive sometimes takes the place of the quin-clause after non dubito; as,-- non dubitamus inventos esse, _we do not doubt that men were found_ b. Non dubito, _I do not hesitate_, is regularly followed by the Infinitive, though sometimes by a quin-clause. E. Substantive Clauses Introduced by _Quod_. 299. 1. Quod, _the fact that_, _that_, introduces Substantive Clauses in the Indicative. This construction occurs especially-- a) In apposition with a preceding demonstrative, as hoc, id, illud, illa, ex eo, inde, etc. Thus:-- illud est admiratione dignum, quod captivos retinendos censuit, _this is especially worthy of admiration, that he thought the prisoners ought to be kept_; hoc uno praestamus vel maxime feris, quod colloquimur inter nos, _in this one respect we are especially superior to the beasts, that we talk with each other_. b) After bene fit, bene accidit, male fit, bene facere, miror, etc.; as,-- bene mihi evenit, quod mittor ad mortem, _it is well for me that I am sent to death_; bene fecisti quod mansisti, _you did well in remaining._ 2. Quod at the beginning of the sentence sometimes has the force of _as regards the fact that_. Thus:-- quod multitudinem Germanorum in Galliam traduco, id mei muniendi causa facio, _as regards the fact that I am transporting a multitude of Germans into Gaul, I am doing it for the sake of strengthening myself;_ quod me Agamemnona aemulari putas, falleris, _as regards your thinking that I emulate Agamemnon, you are mistaken_. F. Indirect Questions. 300. 1. Indirect Questions are Substantive Clauses used after verbs of _asking_, _inquiring_, _telling_, and the like. They take their verb in the Subjunctive[56]. Like Direct Questions (see Sec. 162) they may be introduced-- a) By Interrogative Pronouns or Adverbs; as,-- dic mihi ubi fueris, quid feceris, _tell me where you were, what you did_; oculis judicari non potest in utram partem fluat Arar, _it cannot be determined by the eye in which direction the Arar flows_; bis bina quot essent, nesciebat, _he did not know how many two times two were_. NOTE.--Care should be taken to distinguish Indirect Questions from Relative Clauses. The difference between the two appears clearly in the following:-- effugere nemo id potest quod futurum est, _no one can escape what is destined to come to pass;_ but saepe autem ne utile quidem est scire quid futurum sit, _but often it is not even useful to know what is coming to pass._ b) By num or -ne, without distinction of meaning; as,-- Epaminondas quaesivit num salvus esset clipeus, or salvusne esset clipeus, _Epaminondas asked whether his shield was safe_; disputatur num interire virtus in homine possit, _the question is raised whether virtue can die in a man_; ex Socrate quaesitum est nonne Archelaum beatum putaret, _the question was asked of Socrates whether he did not think Archelaus happy_. NOTE.--Nonne in Indirect Questions occurs only after quaero, as in the last example above. 2. Often the Indirect Question represents a Deliberative Subjunctive of the direct discourse; as,-- nescio quid faciam, _I do not know what to do._ (Direct: quid faciam, _what shall I do!_) 3. After verbs of _expectation_ and _endeavor_ (exspecto, conor, experior, tempto) we sometimes find an Indirect Question introduced by si; as,-- conantur si perrumpere possint, _they try whether they can break through._ a. Sometimes the governing verb is omitted; as,-- pergit ad proximam speluncam si forte eo vestigia ferrent, _he proceeded to the nearest cave (to see) if the tracks led thither._ 4. Indirect Double Questions are introduced in the main by the same particles as direct double questions (Sec. 162, 4); viz.;-- utrum ... an; -ne ... an; ---- ... an; ---- ... ne. Examples:-- quaero utrum verum an falsum sit, } quaero verumne an falsum sit, } _I ask whether it_ quaero verum an falsum sit, } _is true or false?_ quaero verum falsumne sit, } a. _'Or not'_ in the second member of the double question is ordinarily expressed by necne, less frequently by an non; as,-- di utrum sint necne, quaeritur, _it is asked whether there are gods or not._ 5. Haud scio an, nescio an, by omission of the first member of the double question, occur with the Subjunctive in the sense: _I am inclined to think, probably, perhaps;_ as,-- haud scio an ita sit, _I am inclined to think this is so._ 6. In early Latin and in poetry the Indicative is sometimes used in indirect Questions. CONDITIONAL SENTENCES. 301. Conditional Sentences are compound sentences (Sec. 164) consisting of two parts, the Protasis (or _condition_), usually introduced by si, nisi, or sin, and the Apodosis (or _conclusion_). There are the following types of Conditional Sentences:-- First Type.--Nothing Implied as to the Reality of the Supposed Case. 302. 1. Here we regularly have the Indicative in both Protasis and Apodosis. Any tense may be used; as,-- si hoc credis, erras, _if you believe this, you are mistaken_; naturam si sequemur, numquam aberrabimus, _if we follow Nature, we shall never go astray_; si hoc dixisti, errasti, _if you said this, you were in error_. 2. Sometimes the Protasis takes the Indefinite Second Person Singular (Sec. 356, 3) of the Present or Perfect Subjunctive, with the force of the Indicative; as,-- memoria minuitur, nisi eam exerceas, _memory is impaired unless you exercise it_. 3. Here belong also those conditional sentences in which the Protasis denotes a repeated action (compare Sec. 287, 2; 288, 3); as,-- si quis equitum deciderat, pedites circumsistebant, _if any one of the horsemen fell, the foot-soldiers gathered about him_. a. Instead of the Indicative, Livy and subsequent writers employ the Subjunctive of the Historical tenses in the Protasis to denote repeated action; as,-- si dicendo quis diem eximeret, _if (ever) anybody consumed a day in pleading_; si quando adsideret, _if ever he sat by_. 4. Where the sense demands it, the Apodosis in conditional sentences of the First Type may be an Imperative or one of the Independent Subjunctives (Hortatory, Deliberative, etc.); as,-- si hoc creditis, tacete, _if you believe this, be silent_; si hoc credimus, taceamus, _if we believe this, let us keep silent_. Second Type.--'Should'-'Would' Conditions. 303. Here we regularly have the Subjunctive (of the Present or Perfect tense) in both Protasis and Apodosis; as,-- si hoc dicas, erres, or si hoc dixeris, erraveris, _if you should say this, you would be mistaken_; si velim Hannibalis proelia omnia describere, dies me deficiat, _if I should wish to describe all the battles of Hannibal, time would fail me_; mentiar, si negem, _I should lie, if I should deny it_; haec si tecum patria loquatur, nonne impetrare debeat, _if your country should plead thus with you, would she not deserve to obtain her request?_ a. The Subjunctive in the Apodosis of conditional sentences of this type is of the Potential variety. b. Sometimes we find the Indicative in the Apodosis of sentences of the Second Type, where the writer wishes to assert the accomplishment of a result more positively; as,-- aliter si faciat, nullam habet auctoritatem, _if he should do otherwise, he has no authority_. Third Type.--Supposed Case Represented as Contrary to Fact. 304. 1. Here we regularly have the Subjunctive in both Protasis and Apodosis, the Imperfect referring _to present time_, and the Pluperfect referring _to past_; as,-- si amici mei adessent, opis non indigerem, _if my friends were here, I should not lack assistance_; si hoc dixisses, errasses, _if you had said this, you would have erred_; sapientia non expeteretur, si nihil efficeret, _philosophy would not be desired, if it accomplished nothing_; consilium, ratio, sententia nisi essent in senibus, non summum consilium majores nostri appellassent senatum, _unless deliberation, reason, and wisdom existed in old men, our ancestors would not have called their highest deliberative body a senate_. 2. Sometimes the Imperfect Subjunctive is found referring to the past, especially to denote _a continued act, or a state of things still existing_; as,-- Laelius, Furius, Cato si nihil litteris adjuvarentur, numquam se ad earum studium contulissent, _Laelius, Furius, and Cato would never have devoted themselves to the study of letters, unless they had been (constantly) helped by them_; num igitur si ad centesimum annum vixisset, senectutis eum suae paeniteret, _if he had lived to his hundredth year, would he have regretted (and now be regretting) his old age?_ 3. The Apodosis in conditional sentences of this type sometimes stands in the Indicative (Imperfect, Perfect, or Pluperfect), viz.-- a) Frequently in expressions of _ability_, _obligation_, or _necessity_; as,-- nisi felicitas in socordiam vertisset, exuere jugum potuerunt, _unless their prosperity had turned to folly, they could have thrown off the yoke_; NOTE.--In sentences of this type, however, it is not the _possibility_ that is represented as-contrary-to-fact, but something to be supplied in thought from the context. Thus in the foregoing sentence the logical apodosis is _et exuissent_ understood (_and they would have shaken it off_). When the _possibility_ itself is conditioned, the Subjunctive is used. eum patris loco colere debebas, si ulla in te pietas esset, _you ought to revere him as a father, if you had any sense of devotion_. b) With both the Periphrastic Conjugations; as,-- si Sestius occisus esset, fuistisne ad arma ituri, _if Sestius had been slain, would you have proceeded to arms?_ si unum diem morati essetis, moriendum omnibus fuit, _if you had delayed one day, you would all have had to die_. Protasis expressed without _Si_. 305. 1. The Protasis is not always expressed by a clause with si, but may be implied in a word, a phrase, or merely by the context; as,-- alioqui haec non scriberentur, _otherwise_ (i.e. if matters were otherwise) _these things would not be written_; non potestis, voluptate omnia dirigentes, retinere virtutem, _you cannot retain virtue, if you direct everything with reference to pleasure_. 2. Sometimes an Imperative, or a Jussive Subjunctive, serves as Protasis. Thus:-- cras petito, dabitur, _if you ask to-morrow, it shall be given you_ (lit. _ask to-morrow_, etc.); haec reputent, videbunt, _if they consider this, they will see_ (lit. _let them consider_, etc.); roges Zenonem, respondeat, _if you should ask Zeno, he would answer_. Use of _Nisi_, _Si Non_, _Sin_. 306. 1. Nisi, _unless_, negatives the entire protasis; si non negatives a single word; as,-- ferreus essem, nisi te amarem, _I should be hard-hearted unless I loved you_; but-- ferreus essem, si te non amarem, _I should be hard-hearted if I did _NOT_ love you_. In the first example, it is the notion of _loving you_ that is negatived, in the second, the notion of _loving_. 2. Si non (si minus) is regularly employed:-- a) When an apodosis with at, tamen, certe follows; as,-- dolorem si non potuero frangere, tamen occultabo, _if I cannot crush my sorrow, yet I will hide it._ b) When an affirmative protasis is repeated in negative form; as,-- si feceris, magnam habebo gratiam; si non feceris, ignoscam, _if you do it, I shall be deeply grateful; if you do not do it, I shall pardon you_. a. But if the verb is omitted in the repetition, only si minus or sin minus is admissible; as,-- hoc si assecutus sum, gaudeo; si minus, me consolor, _if I have attained this, I am glad; if not, I console myself_. 3. Sin. Where one protasis is followed by another opposed in meaning, but affirmative in form, the second is introduced by sin; as,-- hunc mihi timorem eripe; si verus est, ne opprimar, sin falsus, ut timere desinam, _relieve me of this fear; if it is well founded, that I may not be destroyed; but if it is groundless, that I may cease to fear_. 4. Nisi has a fondness for combining with negatives (non, nemo, nihil); as,-- nihil cogitavit nisi caedem, _he had no thought but murder_. a. Non and nisi are always separated in the best Latinity. 5. Nisi forte, nisi vero, nisi si, _unless perchance, unless indeed_ (often with ironical force), take the Indicative; as,-- nisi vero, quia perfecta res non est, non videtur punienda, _unless indeed, because an act is not consummated, it does not seem to merit punishment_. Conditional Clauses of Comparison. 307. 1. Conditional Clauses of Comparison are introduced by the particles, ac si, ut si, quasi, quam si, tamquam si, velut si, or simply by velut or tamquam. They stand in the Subjunctive mood and regularly involve an ellipsis (see Sec. 374, 1), as indicated in the following examples:-- tantus patres metus cepit, velut si jam ad portas hostis esset, _as great fear seized the senators as (would have seized them) if the enemy were already at the gates_; sed quid ego his testibus utor quasi res dubia aut obscura sit, _but why do I use these witnesses, as (I should do) if the matter were doubtful or obscure_; serviam tibi tam quasi emeris me argento, _I will serve you as though you had bought me for money_. 2. Note that in sentences of this kind the Latin observes the regular principles for the Sequence of Tenses. Thus after principal tenses the Latin uses the Present and Perfect (as in the second and third examples), where the English uses the Past and Past Perfect. Concessive Clauses. 308. The term 'Concessive' is best restricted to those clauses developed from the Jussive Subjunctive which have the force of _granted that_, etc.; (see Sec. 278) as,-- sit fur, sit sacrilegus, at est bonus imperator, _granted that he is a thief and a robber, yet he is a good commander_; haec sint falsa, _granted that this is false_; ne sit summum malum dolor, malum certe est, _granted that pain is not the greatest evil, yet it is certainly an evil_. Adversative Clauses with _Quamvis_, _Quamquam_, etc. 309. Clauses introduced by quamvis, quamquam, etsi, tametsi, cum, _although_, while often classed as 'Concessive,' are yet essentially different from genuine Concessive clauses. As a rule, they do not _grant_ or _concede_ anything, but rather state that something is true _in spite of something else_. They accordingly emphasize the adversative idea, and are properly Subordinate Adversative Clauses. The different particles used to introduce these clauses have different meanings and take different constructions, as follows:-- 1. Quamvis, _however much_, _although_, does not introduce a statement of fact, but represents an act merely as conceived. It is followed by the Subjunctive, usually of the present tense; as,-- homines quamvis in turbidis rebus sint, tamen interdum animis relaxantur, _in however stirring events men may engage, yet at times they relax their energies;_ non est potestas opitulandi rei publicae quamvis ea prematur periculis, _there is no opportunity to succor the state, though it be beset by dangers._ 2. Quamquam, etsi, tametsi, _although_, introduce a statement of fact, and are followed by the Indicative (of any tense); as,-- quamquam omnis virtus nos allicit, tamen justitia id maxime efficit, _although all virtue attracts us, yet justice does so especially;_ Caesar, etsi nondum consilium hostium cognoverat, tamen id quod accidit suspicabatur, _Caesar, though he did not yet know the plans of the enemy, yet was suspecting what actually occurred_. a. Etsi, _although_, must be distinguished from etsi, _even if_. The latter is a conditional particle and takes any of the constructions admissible for si. (See Sec. 302-304.) 3. Cum, _although_, is followed by the Subjunctive; as,-- Atticus honores non petiit, cum ei paterent, _Atticus did not seek honors, though they were open to him_. 4. Licet sometimes loses its verbal force (see Sec. 295, 6) and sinks to the level of a conjunction with the force of _although_. It takes the Subjunctive, Present or Perfect; as,-- licet omnes terrores impendeant, succurram, _though all terrors hang over me, (yet) I will lend aid_. 5. Quamquam, with the force _and yet_, is often used to introduce principal clauses; as,-- quamquam quid loquor, _and yet why do I speak?_ 6. In post-Augustan writers quamquam is freely construed with the Subjunctive, while quamvis is often used to introduce statements of fact, and takes either the Indicative or the Subjunctive. Thus:-- quamquam moveretur his vocibus, _although he was moved by these words_; quamvis multi opinarentur, _though many thought_; quamvis infesto animo perveneras, _though you had come with hostile intent_. Clauses with _Dum_, _Modo_, _Dummodo_, denoting a Wish or a Proviso. 310. These particles are followed by the Subjunctive (negative ne) and have two distinct uses:-- I. They are used to introduce clauses _embodying a wish_ entertained by the subject of the leading verb; as,-- multi honesta neglegunt dummodo potentiam consequantur, _many neglect honor in their desire to obtain power_ (_if only they may attain_); omnia postposui, dum praeceptis patris parerem, _I made everything else secondary, in my desire to obey the injunctions of my father_; nil obstat tibi, dum ne sit ditior alter, _nothing hinders you in your desire that your neighbor may not be richer than you_. II. They are used to express a _proviso_ ('_provided that_'); as,-- oderint, dum metuant, _let them hate, provided they fear_; manent ingenia senibus, modo permaneat studium et industria, _old men retain their faculties, provided only they retain their interest and vigor_; nubant, dum ne dos fiat comes, _let them marry, provided no dowry goes with it_. Relative Clauses. 311. Relative Clauses are introduced by Relative Pronouns, Adjectives, or Adverbs. 312. 1. Relative clauses usually stand in the Indicative Mood, especially clauses introduced by those General Relatives which are doubled or have the suffix -oumque; as,-- quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes, _whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even when they offer gifts;_ quidquid oritur, qualecumque est, causam a natura habet, _whatever comes into being, of whatever sort it is, has its primal cause in Nature._ 2. Any simple Relative may introduce a conditional sentence of any of the three types mentioned in Sec. 302-304; as,-- qui hoc dicit, errat, _he who says this is mistaken_ (First Type); qui hoc dicat, erret, _he would be mistaken who should say this_ (Second Type); qui hoc dixisset, errasset, _the man who had said this would have been mistaken._ INDIRECT DISCOURSE (_ORATIO OBLIQUA_). 313. When the language or thought of any person is reproduced without change, that is called Direct Discourse (_Oratio Recta_); as, _Caesar said, 'The die is cast.'_ When, on the other hand, one's language or thought is made to depend upon a verb of _saying_, _thinking_, etc., that is called Indirect Discourse (_Oratio Obliqua_); as, _Caesar said that the die was cast; Caesar thought that his troops were victorious._ a. For the verbs most frequently employed to introduce Indirect Discourse, see Sec. 331. MOODS IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. Declarative Sentences. 314. 1. Declarative Sentences upon becoming Indirect change their main clause to the Infinitive with Subject Accusative, while all subordinate clauses take the Subjunctive; as,-- Regulus dixit quam diu jure jurando hostium teneretur non esse se senatorem, _Regulus said that as long as he was held by his pledge to the enemy he was not a senator._ (Direct: quam diu teneor non sum senator.) 2. The verb of _saying_, _thinking_, etc., is sometimes to be inferred from the context; as,-- tum Romulus legatos circa vicinas gentes misit qui societatem conubiumque peterent: urbes quoque, ut cetera, ex infimo nasci, _then Romulus sent envoys around among the neighboring tribes, to ask for alliance and the right of intermarriage, (saying that) cities, like everything else, start from a modest beginning_. 3. Subordinate clauses which contain an explanatory statement of the writer and so are not properly a part of the Indirect Discourse, or which emphasize the fact stated, take the Indicative; as,-- nuntiatum est Ariovistum ad occupandum Vesontionem, quod est oppidum maximum Sequanorum contendere, _it was reported that Ariovistus was hastening to seize Vesontio, which is the largest town of the Sequani_. 4. Sometimes a subordinate clause is such only in its external form, and in sense is principal. It then takes the Infinitive with Subject Accusative. This occurs especially in case of relative clauses, where qui is equivalent to et hic, nam hic, etc.; as,-- dixit urbem Atheniensium propugnaculum oppositum esse barbaris, apud quam jam bis classes regias fecisse naufragium, _he said the city of the Athenians had been set against the barbarians like a bulwark, near which (= and near it) the fleets of the King had twice met disaster_. 5. The Subject Accusative of the Infinitive is sometimes omitted when it refers to the same person as the subject of the leading verb, or can easily be supplied from the context; as,-- cum id nescire Mago diceret, _when Mago said he did not know this_ (for se nescire). Interrogative Sentences. 315. 1. Real questions of the Direct Discourse, upon becoming indirect, are regularly put in the Subjunctive; as,-- Ariovistus Caesari respondit: se prius in Galliam venisse quam populum Romanum. Quid sibi vellet? Cur in suas possessiones veniret, _Ariovistus replied to Caesar that he had come into Gaul before the Roman people. What did he (Caesar) mean? Why did he come into his domain?_ (Direct: quid tibi vis? cur in meas possessiones venis?) 2. Rhetorical questions, on the other hand, being asked merely for effect, and being equivalent in force to emphatic statements, regularly stand in the Infinitive in Indirect Discourse. Thus :-- quid est levius (lit. _what is more trivial_, = nothing is more trivial) of the Direct Discourse becomes quid esse levius in the Indirect. 3. Deliberative Subjunctives of the Direct Discourse remain unchanged in mood in the Indirect: as,-- quid faceret, _what was he to do?_ (Direct: quid faciat?) Imperative Sentences. 316. All Imperatives or Jussive Subjunctives of the Direct Discourse appear as Subjunctives in the Indirect; as,-- milites certiores fecit paulisper intermitterent proelium, _he told the soldiers to stop the battle for a little_. (Direct: intermittite.) a. The negative in such sentences is ne; as,-- ne suae virtuti tribueret, _let him not attribute it to his own valor!_ TENSES IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. A. Tenses of the Infinitive. 317. These are used in accordance with the regular principles for the use of the Infinitive as given in Sec. 270. a. The Perfect Infinitive may represent any past tense of the Indicative of Direct Discourse. Thus:-- scio te haec egisse may mean-- _I know you were doing this_.(Direct: haec agebas.) _I know you did this_. (Direct: haec egisti.) _I know you had done this_. (Direct: haec egeras.) B. Tenses of the Subjunctive. 318. These follow the regular principle for the Sequence of Tenses, being Principal if the verb of _saying_ is Principal; Historical if it is Historical. Yet for the sake of vividness, we often find the Present Subjunctive used after an historical tense (_Repraesentatio_); as,-- Caesar respondit, si obsides dentur, sese pacem esse facturum, _Caesar replied that, if hostages be given, he would make peace_. a. For the sequence after the Perfect Infinitive, see Sec. 268, 2. CONDITIONAL SENTENCES IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. Conditional Sentences of the First Type. 319. A. THE APODOSIS. Any tense of the Indicative is changed to the corresponding tense of the Infinitive (Sec. 270; 317, a). B. THE PROTASIS. The protasis takes those tenses of the Subjunctive which are required by the Sequence of Tenses. Examples:-- DIRECT. INDIRECT. si hoc credis, erras, dico, si hoc credas, te errare; dixi, si hoc crederes, te errare. si hoc credes, errabis, dico, si hoc credas, te erraturum esse; dixi, si hoc crederes, te erraturum esse. si hoc credideris, errabis, dico, si hoc crederis, te erraturum esse; dixi, si hoc credidisses, te erraturum esse. si hoc credebas, erravisti, dico, si hoc crederes, te erravisse; dixi, si hoc crederes, te erravisse. a. Note that a Future Perfect Indicative of the Direct Discourse regularly appears in the Indirect as a Perfect Subjunctive after a principal tense, and as a Pluperfect Subjunctive after an historical tense. Conditional Sentences of the Second Type. 320. A. THE APODOSIS. The Present Subjunctive of the Direct Discourse regularly becomes the Future Infinitive of the Indirect. B. THE PROTASIS. The Protasis takes those tenses of the Subjunctive demanded by the sequence of tenses. Examples:-- si hoc credas, erres, dico, si hoc credas, te erraturum esse; dixi, si hoc crederes, te erraturum esse; Conditional Sentences of the Third Type. 321. A. THE APODOSIS. 1. The Imperfect Subjunctive of the Direct Discourse becomes the Future Infinitive. a. But this construction is rare, being represented in the classical Latinity by a single example (Caesar, V. 29. 2). Some scholars question the correctness of this passage. 2. The Pluperfect Subjunctive of the Direct Discourse becomes:-- a) In the Active Voice the Infinitive in -urus fuisse. b) In the Passive Voice it takes the form futurum fuisse ut with the Imperfect Subjunctive. B. THE PROTASIS. The protasis in Conditional Sentences of this type always remains unchanged. Examples:-- si hoc crederes, errares, dico (dixi), si hoc crederes, te erraturum esse; si hoc credidisses, dico (dixi), si hoc credidisses, te erravisses, erraturum fuisse; si hoc dixisses, punitus dico (dixi), si hoc dixisses, futurum esses. fuisse ut punireris. 322. When an apodosis of a conditional sentence of the Third Type referring to the past is at the same time a Result clause or a quin-clause (after non dubito, etc.), it stands in the Perfect Subjunctive in the form -urus fuerim; as,-- ita territi sunt, ut arma tradituri fuerint,[57] nisi Caesar subito advenisset, _they were so frightened that they would have given up their arms, had not Caesar suddenly arrived_; non dubito quin, si hoc dixisses, erraturus fueris,[57] _I do not doubt that, if you had said this, you would have made a mistake_. a. This peculiarity is confined to the Active Voice. In the Passive, such sentences, when they become dependent, remain unchanged; as,-- non dubito quin, si hoc dixisses, vituperatus esses, _I do not doubt that, if you had said this, you would have been blamed_. b. When an Indirect Question becomes an apodosis in a conditional sentence of the Third Type, -urus fuerim (rarely -urus fuissem) is used; as,-- quaero, num, si hoc dixisses, erraturus fueris (or fuisses). c. Potui, when it becomes a dependent apodosis in sentences of this Type, usually changes to the Perfect Subjunctive; as,-- concursu totius civitatis defensi sunt, ut frigidissimos quoque oratores populi studia excitare potuerint, _they were defended before a gathering of all the citizens, so that the interest of the people would have been enough to excite even the most apathetic orators_. IMPLIED INDIRECT DISCOURSE. 323. The Subjunctive is often used in subordinate clauses whose indirect character is _merely implied by the context_; as,-- demonstrabantur mihi praeterea, quae Socrates de immortalitate animorum disseruisset, _there were explained to me besides, the arguments which Socrates had set forth concerning the immortality of the soul_ (i.e. the arguments which, it was said, Socrates had set forth); Paetus omnes libros quos pater suus reliquisset mihi donavit, _Paetus gave me all the books which (as he said) his father had left_. SUBJUNCTIVE BY ATTRACTION. 324. 1. Subordinate clauses dependent upon the Subjunctive are frequently attracted into the same mood especially when they do not express a fact, but constitute _an essential part of one complex idea_; as,-- nemo avarus adhuc inventus est, cui, quod haberet, esset satis, _no miser has yet been found who was satisfed with what he had_; cum diversas causas afferrent, dum formam sui quisque et animi et ingenii redderent, _as they brought forward different arguments, while each mirrored his own individual type of mind and natural bent_; quod ego fatear, pudeat? _should I be ashamed of a thing which I admit?_ 2. Similarly a subordinate clause dependent upon an Infinitive is put in the Subjunctive when the two form one closely united whole; as,-- mos est Athenis quotannis in contione laudari eos qui sint in proeliis interfecti, _it is the custom at Athens every year for those to be publicly eulogized who have been killed in battle_. (Here the notion of 'praising those who fell in battle' forms an inseparable whole.) NOUN AND ADJECTIVE FORMS OF THE VERB. 325. These are the Infinitive, Participle, Gerund, and Supine. All of these partake of the nature of the Verb, on the one hand, and of the Noun or Adjective, on the other. Thus:-- As Verbs,-- a) They may be limited by adverbs; b) They admit an object; c) They have the properties of voice and tense. As Nouns or Adjectives,-- a) They are declined; b) They take Noun or Adjective constructions. THE INFINITIVE. Infinitive without Subject Accusative. 326. This is used chiefly as Subject or Object but also as Predicate or Appositive. NOTE.--The Infinitive was originally a Dative, and traces of this are still to be seen in the poetical use of the Infinitive to express _purpose_; as, nec dulces occurrent oscula nati praeripere, _and no sweet children will run to snatch kisses_. _A. As Subject._ 327. 1. The Infinitive without Subject Accusative is used as the Subject of esse and various impersonal verbs, particularly opus est, necesse est, oportet, juvat, delectat, placet, libet, licet, praestat, decet, pudet, interest, etc.; as,-- dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, _it is sweet and noble to die for one's country_; virorum est fortium toleranter dolorem pati, _it is the part of brave men to endure pain with patience_; senatui placuit legatos mittere, _the Senate decided_ (lit. _it pleased the Senate_) _to send envoys_. 2. Even though the Infinitive itself appears without Subject, it may take a Predicate Noun or Adjective in the Accusative; as,-- aliud est iracundum esse, aliud iratum, _it is one thing to be irascible, another to be angry_; impune quaelibet facere, id est regem esse, _to do whatever you please with impunity, that is to be a king_. a. But when licet is followed by a Dative of the person, a Predicate Noun or Adjective with esse is attracted into the same case; as, licuit esse otioso Themistocli, lit. _it was permitted to Themistocles to be at leisure_. So sometimes with other Impersonals. _B. As Object._ 328. 1. The Infinitive without Subject Accusative is used as the Object of many verbs, to denote another action of the same subject, particularly after-- volo, cupio, malo, nolo, debeo, cogito, meditor, _purpose_, _ought_; _intend_; statuo, constituo, _decide_; neglego, _neglect_; audeo, _dare_; vereor, timeo, _fear_; studeo, contendo, _strive_; maturo, festino, propero, contendo, paro, _prepare_ (so paratus); _hasten_; incipio, coepi, instituo, assuesco, consuesco, _accustom _begin_; myself_ (so assuetus, insuetus, pergo, _continue_; assuefactus); desino, desisto, _cease_; disco, _learn_; possum, _can_; scio, _know how_; conor, _try_; soleo, _am wont_; as,-- tu hos intueri audes, _do you dare to look on these men_? Demosthenes ad fluctus maris declamare solebat, _Demosthenes used to declaim by the waves of the sea_. 2. A Predicate Noun or Adjective with these Infinitives is attracted into the Nominative; as,-- beatus esse sine virtute nemo potest, _no one can be happy without virtue_; Cato esse quam videri bonus malebat, _Cato preferred to be good rather than to seem so_. Infinitive with Subject Accusative. 329. This is used chiefly as Subject or Object but also as Predicate or Appositive. _A. As Subject._ 330. The Infinitive with Subject Accusative (like the simple Infinitive) is used as Subject with esse and Impersonal verbs, particularly with aequum est, utile est, turpe est, fama est, spes est, fas est, nefas est, opus est, necesse est, oportet, constat, praestat, licet, etc.; as,-- nihil in bello oportet contemni, _nothing ought to be despised in war_; apertum est sibi quemque natura esse carum, _it is manifest that by nature everybody is dear to himself_. _B. As Object._ 331. The Infinitive with Subject Accusative is used as Object after the following classes of verbs: 1. Most frequently after verbs of _saying_, _thinking_, _knowing_, _perceiving_, and the like (_Verba Sentiendi et Declarandi_). This is the regular construction of Principal Clauses of Indirect Discourse. Verbs that take this construction are, among others, the following: sentio, audio, video, cognosco; puto, judico, spero, confido; scio, memini; dico, affirmo, nego (_say that ... not_), trado, narro, fateor, respondeo, scribo, promitto, glorior. Also the phrases: certiorem facio (_inform_), memoria teneo (_remember_), etc. Examples:-- Epicurei putant cum corporibus simul animos interire, _the Epicureans think that the soul perishes with the body_; Thales dixit aquam esse initium rerum, _Thales said that water was the first principle of the universe_; Democritus negat quicquid esse sempiternum, _Democritus says nothing is everlasting;_ spero eum venturum esse, _I hope that he will come_. II. With jubeo, _order_, and veto, _forbid_; as,-- Caesar milites pontem facere jussit, _Caesar ordered the soldiers to make a bridge_. a. When the name of the person who is ordered or forbidden to do something is omitted, the Infinitive with jubeo and veto is put in the Passive; as, Caesar pontem fieri jussit. III. With patior and sino, _permit_, _allow_; as,-- nullo se implicari negotio passus est, _he did not permit himself to be involved in any difficulty_. IV. With volo, nolo, malo, cupio, when the Subject of the Infinitive is different from that of the governing verb; as,-- nec mihi hunc errorem extorqueri volo, _nor do I wish this error to be wrested from me_; eas res jactari nolebat, _he was unwilling that these matters should be discussed_; te tua frui virtute cupimus, _we desire that you enjoy your worth_. a. When the Subject of both verbs is the same, the simple Infinitive is regularly used in accordance with Sec. 328, 1. But exceptions occur, especially in case of esse and Passive Infinitives as,-- cupio me esse clementem, _I desire to be lenient_; Timoleon maluit se diligi quam metui, _Timoleon preferred to be loved rather than feared_. b. Volo also admits the Subjunctive, with or without ut; nolo the Subjunctive alone. (See Sec. 296, 1, a.) V. With Verbs of _emotion_ (_joy_, _sorrow_, _regret_, etc.), especially gaudeo, laetor, doleo; aegre fero, moleste fero, graviter fero, _am annoyed_, _distressed_; miror, queror, indignor; as,-- gaudeo te salvum advenire, _I rejoice that you arrive safely_; non moleste ferunt se libidinum vinculis laxatos esse, _they are not troubled at being released from the bonds of passion_; miror te ad me nihil scribere, _I wonder that you write me nothing_. a. Instead of an Infinitive these verbs also sometimes admit a quod- clause as Object. (See Sec. 299.) Thus:-- miror quod non loqueris, _I wonder that you do not speak_. VI. Some verbs which take two Accusatives, one of the Person and the other of the Thing (Sec. 178, 1), may substitute an Infinitive for the second Accusative; as,-- cogo te hoc facere, _I compel you to do this_ (_cf._ te hoc cogo); docui te contentum esse, _I taught you to be content_ (_cf._ te modestiam docui, _I taught you temperance_). Passive Construction of the Foregoing Verbs. 332. Those verbs which in the Active are followed by the Infinitive with Subject Accusative, usually admit the personal construction of the Passive. This is true of the following and of some others:-- a) jubeor, vetor, sinor; as,-- milites pontem facere jussi sunt, _the soldiers were ordered to build a bridge_; pons fieri jussus est, _a bridge was ordered built_; milites castris exire vetiti sunt, _the troops were forbidden to go out of the camp_; Sestius Clodium accusare non est situs, _Sestius was not allowed to accuse Clodius_. b) videor, _I am seen_, _I seem_; as,-- videtur comperisse, _he seems to have discovered_. c) dicor, putor, existimor, judicor (in all persons); as,-- dicitur in Italiam venisse, _he is said to have come into Italy_; Romulus primus rex Romanorum fuisse putatur, _Romulus is thought to have been the first king of the Romans_. d) fertur, feruntur, traditur, traduntur (only in the third person); as,-- fertur Homerus caecus fuisse, _Homer is said to have been blind_; carmina Archilochi contumeliis referta esse traduntur, _Archilochus's poems are reported to have been full of abuse_. NOTE.--In compound tenses and periphrastic forms, the last two classes of verbs, c), d), more commonly take the impersonal construction; as-- traditum est Homerum caecum fuisse, _the story goes that Homer was blind_. Infinitive with Adjectives. 333. The Infinitive with Adjectives (except paratus, assuetus, etc.; see Sec. 328, 1) occurs only in poetry and post-Augustan prose writers; as,-- contentus demonstrasse, _contented to have proved_; audax omnia perpeti, _bold for enduring everything_. Infinitive in Exclamations. 334. The Infinitive is used in Exclamations implying _scorn_, _indignation_, or _regret_. An intensive -ne is often attached to some word in the clause. Examples:-- huncine solem tam nigrum surrexe mihi, _to think that to-day's sun rose with such evil omen for me!_ sedere totos dies in villa, _to stay whole days at the villa_. Historical Infinitive. 335. The Infinitive is often used in historical narrative instead of the Imperfect Indicative. The Subject stands in the Nominative; as,-- interim cottidie Caesar Haeduos frumentum flagitare, _meanwhile Caesar was daily demanding grain of the Haedui_. PARTICIPLES. Tenses of the Participle. 336. 1. The tenses of the Participle, like those of the infinitive (see Sec. 270), express time not absolutely, but with reference to the verb upon which the Participle depends. 2. The Present Participle denotes action _contemporary with_ that of the verb. Thus:-- audio te loquentem = _you_ ARE _speaking and I hear you_; audiebam te loquentem = _you_ WERE _speaking and I heard you_; audiam te loquentem = _you_ WILL BE _speaking and I shall hear you._ a. The Present Participle is sometimes employed with Conative force; as,-- assurgentem regem resupinat, _as the king was trying to rise, he threw him down._ 3. The Perfect Passive Participle denotes action _prior to_ that of the verb. Thus:-- locutus taceo = _I_ HAVE _spoken and am silent_; locutus tacui = _I_ HAD _spoken and then was silent_; locutus tacebo = _I_ SHALL _speak and then shall be silent._ 4. The absolute time of the action of a participle, therefore, is determined entirely by the finite verb with which it is connected. 5. Certain Perfect Passive Participles of Deponent and Semi-Deponent Verbs are used as Presents; viz. arbitratus, ausus, ratus, gavisus, solitus, usus, confisus, diffisus, secutus, veritus. Use of Participles. 337. As an Adjective the Participle may be used either as an attributive or predicate modifier of a Substantive. 1. Attributive Use. This presents no special peculiarities. Examples are:-- gloria est consentiens laus bonorum, _glory is the unanimous praise of the good_; Conon muros a Lysandro dirutos reficit, _Conon restored the walls destroyed by Lysander._ 2. Predicate Use. Here the Participle is often equivalent to a subordinate clause. Thus the Participle may denote:-- a) Time; as,-- omne malum nascens facile opprimitur, _every evil is easily crushed at birth._ b) A Condition; as,-- mente uti non possumus cibo et potione completi, _if gorged with food and drink, we cannot use our intellects_. c) Manner; as,-- Solon senescere se dicebat multa in dies addiscentem, _Solon said he grew old learning many new things daily._ d) Means; as,-- sol oriens diem conficit, _the sun, by its rising, makes the day._ e) Opposition ('_though_'); as,-- mendaci homini ne verum quidem dicenti credimus, _we do not believe a liar, though he speaks the truth._ f) Cause; as,-- perfidiam veritus ad suos recessit, _since he feared treachery, he returned to his own troops._ 3. Video and audio, besides the Infinitive, take the Present Participle in the Predicate use; as,-- video te fugientem, _I see you fleeing._ a. So frequently facio, fingo, induco, etc.; as,-- eis Catonem respondentem facimus, _we represent Cato replying to them_; Homerus Laertem colentem agrum facit, _Homer represents Laertes tilling the field._ 4. The Future Active Participle (except futurus) is regularly confined to its use in the Periphrastic Conjugation, but in poets and later writers it is used independently, especially to denote _purpose_; as,-- venerunt castra oppugnaturi, _they came to assault the camp._ 5. The Perfect Passive Participle is often equivalent to a cooerdinate clause; as,-- urbem captam diruit, _he captured and destroyed the city_ (lit. _he destroyed the city captured_). 6. The Perfect Passive Participle in combination with a noun is sometimes equivalent to an abstract noun with a dependent Genitive; as,-- post urbem conditam, _after the founding of the city_; Quinctius defensus, _the defense of Quinctius_; quibus animus occupatus, _the preoccupation of the mind with which._ 7. Habeo sometimes takes a Perfect Passive Participle in the Predicate construction with a force not far removed from that of the Perfect or Pluperfect Indicative; as,-- equitatus quem coactum habebat, _the cavalry which he had collected._ 8. The Gerundive denotes _obligation_, _necessity_, etc. Like other Participles it may be used either as Attributive or Predicate. a) Less frequently as Attributive. Thus:-- liber legendus, _a book worth reading_; leges observandae, _laws deserving of observance_. b) More frequently as Predicate. 1) In the Passive Periphrastic Conjugation (amandus est, etc.). In this use Intransitive Verbs can be used only impersonally, but admit their ordinary case-construction (Gen., Dat., Abl.); as,-- veniendum est, _it is necessary to come_; obliviscendum est offensarum, _one must forget injuries_; numquam proditori credendum est, _you must never trust a traitor_; suo cuique utendum est judicio, _every man must use his own judgment_. 2) After curo, _provide for_; do, trado, _give over_; relinquo, _leave_; concedo, _hand over_, and some other verbs, instead of an object clause, or to denote purpose; as,-- Caesar pontem in Arari faciendum curavit, _Caesar provided for the construction of a bridge over the Arar_; imperator urbem militibus diripiendam concessit, _the general handed over the city to the soldiers to plunder_. 9. For the Gerundive as the equivalent of the Gerund, see Sec. 339, 1. THE GERUND. 338. As a verbal noun the Gerund admits noun constructions as follows:-- 1. Genitive. The Genitive of the Gerund is used-- a) With Nouns, as objective or Appositional Genitive (see Sec. 200, 202); as,-- cupiditas dominandi, _desire of ruling_; ars scribendi, _the art of writing_. b) With Adjectives; as,-- cupidus audiendi, _desirous of hearing_. c) With causa, gratia; as,-- discendi causa, _for the sake of learning_. 2. Dative. The Dative of the Gerund is used-- a) With Adjectives; as,-- aqua utilis est bibendo, _water is useful for drinking_. b) With Verbs (rarely); as,-- adfui scribendo, _I was present at the writing_. 3. Accusative. The Accusative of the Gerund is used only with Prepositions, chiefly ad and in to denote purpose; as,-- homo ad agendum natus est, _man is born for action_. 4. Ablative. The Ablative of the Gerund is used-- a) Without a Preposition, as an Ablative of Means, Cause, etc. (see Sec. 218, 219); as,-- mens discendo alitur et cogitando, _the mind is nourished by learning and reflection_. Themistocles maritimos praedones consectando mare tutum reddidit, _Themistocles made the sea safe by following up the pirates_. b) After the prepositions a, de, ex, in; as,-- summa voluptas ex discendo capitur, _the keenest pleasure is derived from learning_; multa de bene beateque vivendo a Platone disputata sunt, _there was much discussion by Plato on the subject of living well and happily_. 5. As a rule, only the Genitive of the Gerund and the Ablative (without a preposition) admit a Direct Object. Gerundive Construction instead of the Gerund. 339. 1. Instead of the Genitive or Ablative of the Gerund with a Direct Object, another construction _may be, and very often is, used_. This consists in putting the Direct Object in the case of the Gerund (Gen. or Abl.) and using the Gerundive in agreement with it. This is called the Gerundive Construction. Thus:-- GERUND CONSTRUCTION. GERUNDIVE CONSTRUCTION. cupidus urbem videndi, _desirous of cupidus urbis videndae; seeing the city_. delector oratores legendo, _I am delector oratoribus legendis charmed with reading the orators_. 2. The Gerundive Construction _must be used_ to avoid a Direct Object with the Dative of the Gerund, or with a case dependent upon a Preposition; as,-- locus castris muniendis aptus, _a place adapted to fortifying a camp_; ad pacem petendam venerunt, _they came to ask peace_; multum temporis consumo in legendis poetis, _I spend much time in reading the poets_. 3. In order to avoid ambiguity (see Sec. 236, 2), the Gerundive Construction must not be employed in case of Neuter Adjectives used substantively. Thus regularly-- philosophi cupidi sunt verum investigandi, _philosophers are eager for discovering truth_ (rarely veri investigandi); studium plura cognoscendi, _a desire of knowing more_ (not plurium cognoscendorum). 4. From the nature of the case only Transitive Verbs can be used in the Gerundive construction; but utor, fruor, fungor, potior (originally transitive) regularly admit it; as,-- hostes in spem potiundorum castrorum venerant, _the enemy had conceived the hope of gaining possession of the camp_. 5. The Genitives mei, tui, sui, nostri, vestri, when used in the Gerundive Construction, are regularly employed without reference to Gender or Number, since they were originally Neuter Singular Adjectives used substantively. Thus:-- mulier sui servandi causa aufugit, _the woman fled for the sake of saving herself_; legati in castra venerunt sui purgandi causa, _the envoys came into camp for the purpose of clearing themselves_. So nostri servandi causa, _for the sake of saving ourselves_. 6. Occasionally the Genitive of the Gerundive Construction is used to denote _purpose_; as,-- quae ille cepit legum ac libertatis subvertundae, _which he undertook for the purpose of overthrowing the laws and liberty_. 7. The Dative of the Gerundive Construction occurs in some expressions which have the character of formulas; as,-- decemviri legibus scribundis, _decemvirs for codifying the laws_; quindecimviri sacris faciundis, _quindecimvirs for performing the sacrifices_. THE SUPINE. 340. 1. The Supine in -um is used after Verbs of motion to express _purpose_; as,-- legati ad Caesarem gratulatum convenerunt, _envoys came to Caesar to congratulate him_. a. The Supine in -um may take an Object; as,-- pacem petitum oratores Romam mittunt, _they send envoys to Rome to ask for peace_. b. Note the phrase:-- do (colloco) filiam nuptum, _I give my daughter in marriage_. 2. The Supine in -u is used as an Ablative of Specification with facilis, difficilis, incredibilis, jucundus, optimus, etc.; also with fas est, nefas est, opus est; as,-- haec res est facilis cognitu, _this thing is easy to learn_; hoc est optimum factu, _this is best to do_. a. Only a few Supines in -u are in common use, chiefly auditu, cognitu, dictu, factu, visu. b. The Supine in -u never takes an Object. * * * * * CHAPTER VI.--_Particles._ COOeRDINATE CONJUNCTIONS. 341. Copulative Conjunctions. These _join_ one word, phrase, or clause to another. 1. a) et simply connects. b) -que joins more closely than et, and is used especially where the two members have an internal connection with each other; as,-- parentes liberique, _parents and children_; cum homines aestu febrique jactantur, _when people are tossed about with heat and fever_. c) atque (ac) usually emphasizes the second of the two things connected,--_and also, and indeed, and in fact_. After words of _likeness_ and _difference_, atque (ac) has the force of _as_, _than_. Thus:-- ego idem sentio ac tu, _I think the same as you_; haud aliter ac, _not otherwise than_. d) neque (nec) means _and not_, _neither_, _nor_. 2. a) -que is an enclitic, and is appended always to the second of two words connected. Where it connects phrases or clauses, it is appended to the first word of the second clause; but when the first word of the second clause is a Preposition, -que is regularly appended to the next following word; as,-- ob eamque rem, _and on account of that thing_. b) atque is used before vowels and consonants; ac never before vowels, and seldom before c, g, qu. c) et non is used for neque when the emphasis of the negative rests upon a special word; as,-- vetus et non ignobilis orator, _an old and not ignoble orator_. d) For _and nowhere_, _and never_, _and none_, the Latin regularly said nec usquam, nec umquam, nec ullus, etc. 3. Correlatives. Copulative Conjunctions are frequently used correlatively; as,-- et ... et, _both ... and_; neque (nec) ... neque (nec), _neither ... nor_; cum ... tum, _while ... at the same time_; tum ... tum, _not only ... but also_. Less frequently:-- et ... neque; neque ... et. a. Note that the Latin, with its tendency to emphasize antithetical relations, often uses correlatives, especially et ... et, et ... neque, neque ... et, where the English employs but a single connective. 4. In enumerations-- a) The different members of a series may follow one another without connectives (Asyndeton; see Sec. 346). Thus:-- ex cupiditatibus odia, discidia, discordiae, seditiones, bella nascuntur, _from covetous desires spring up hatred, dissension, discord, sedition, wars_. b) The different members may severally be connected by et (Polysyndeton). Thus:-- horae cedunt et dies et menses et anni, _hours and days and months and years pass away_. c) The connective may be omitted between the former members, while the last two are connected by -que (rarely et); as,-- Caesar in Carnutes, Andes Turonesque legiones deducit, _Caesar leads his legions into the territory of the Carnutes, Andes, and Turones_. 342. Disjunctive Conjunctions indicate an _alternative_. 1. a) aut must be used when the alternatives are mutually exclusive; as,-- cita mors venit aut victoria laeta, _(either) swift death or glad victory comes_. b) vel, -ve (enclitic) imply a choice between the alternatives; as,-- qui aether vel caelum nominatur, _which is called aether or heaven_. 2. Correlatives. Disjunctive Conjunctions are often used correlatively; as,-- aut ... aut, _either ... or_; vel ... vel, _either ... or_; sive ... sive, _if ... or if_. 343. Adversative Conjunctions. These denote _opposition_. 1. a) sed, _but_, merely denotes opposition. b) verum, _but_, is stronger than sed, but is less frequently used. c) autem, _but on the other hand_, _however_, marks a transition. It is always post-positive. DEFINITION. A post-positive word is one that cannot begin a sentence, but is placed after one or more words. d) at, _but_, is used especially in disputation, to introduce an opposing argument. e) atqui means _but yet_. f) tamen, _yet_, usually stands after the emphatic word, but not always. g) vero, _however_, _indeed_, _in truth_, is always post-positive. 2. Note the correlative expressions:-- non solum (non modo) ... sed etiam, _not only ... but also_; non modo non ... sed ne ... quidem, _not only not, but not even_; as,-- non modo tibi non irascor, sed ne reprehendo quidem factum tuum, _I not only am not angry with you, but I do not even blame your action_. a. But when the sentence has but one verb, and this stands with the second member, non modo may be used for non modo non; as,-- adsentatio non modo amico, sed ne libero quidem digne est, _flattery is not only not worthy of a friend, but not even of a free man._ 344. Illative Conjunctions. These represent the statement which they introduce as _following from_ or as _in conformity with_ what has preceded. 1. a) itaque = _and so_, _accordingly_. b) ergo = _therefore_, _accordingly_. c) igitur (regularly post-positive[58]) = _therefore_, _accordingly_. 2. Igitur is never combined with et, atque, -que, or neque. 345. Causal Conjunctions. These denote _cause_, or _give an explanation_. They are nam, namque, enim (post-positive), etenim, _for_. 346. Asyndeton. The conjunction is sometimes omitted between cooerdinate members, particularly in lively or impassioned narration. Thus:-- a) A copulative Conjunction is omitted; as,-- avaritia infinita, insatiabilis est, _avarice is boundless (and) insatiable_; Cn. Pompejo, M. Crasso consulibus, _in the consulship of Gnaeus Pompey (and) Marcus Crassus_. The conjunction is regularly omitted between the names of consuls when the praenomen (_Marcus_, _Gaius_, etc.) is expressed. b) An Adversative Conjunction may be omitted; as,-- rationes defuerunt, ubertas orationis non defuit, _arguments were lacking, (but) abundance of words was not_. ADVERBS. 347. 1. The following particles, sometimes classed as Conjunctions, are more properly Adverbs:-- etiam, _also_, _even_. quoque (always post-positive), _also_. quidem (always post-positive) lays stress upon the preceding word. It is sometimes equivalent to the English _indeed_, _in fact_, but more frequently cannot be rendered, except by vocal emphasis. ne ... quidem means _not even_; the emphatic word or phrase always stands between; as, ne ille quidem, _not even he_. tamen and vero, in addition to their use as Conjunctions, are often employed as Adverbs. 2. Negatives. Two negatives are regularly equivalent to an affirmative as in English, as non nulli, _some_; but when non, nemo, nihil, numquam, etc., are accompanied by neque ... neque, non ... non, non modo, or ne ... quidem, the latter particles simply take up the negation and emphasize it; as,-- habeo hic neminem neque amicum neque cognatum, _I have here no one, neither friend nor relative_. non enim praetereundum est ne id quidem, _for not even that must be passed by._ a. Haud in Cicero and Caesar occurs almost exclusively as a modifier of Adjectives and Adverbs, and in the phrase haud scio an. Later writers use it freely with verbs. * * * * * CHAPTER VII.--_Word-order and Sentence-Structure._ A. WORD-ORDER. 348. In the normal arrangement of the Latin sentence the Subject stands at the beginning of the sentence, the Predicate at the end; as,-- Darius classem quingentarum navium comparavit, _Darius got ready a fleet of five hundred ships_. 349. But for the sake of emphasis the normal arrangement is often abandoned, and the emphatic word is put at the beginning, less frequently at the end of the sentence; as,-- magnus in hoc bello Themistocles fuit, GREAT _was Themistocles in this war_; aliud iter habemus nullum, _other course we have_ NONE. SPECIAL PRINCIPLES. 350. 1. Nouns. A Genitive or other oblique case regularly follows the word upon which it depends. Thus:-- a) Depending upon a Noun:-- tribunus plebis, _tribune of the plebs_; filius regis, _son of the king_; vir magni animi, _a man of noble spirit_. Yet always senatus consultum, plebis scitum. b) Depending upon an Adjective:-- ignarus rerum, _ignorant of affairs_; digni amicitia, _worthy of friendship_; plus aequo, _more than (what is) fair_. 2. Appositives. An Appositive regularly follows its Subject; as,-- Philippus, rex Macedonum, _Philip, king of the Macedonians_; adsentatio, vitiorum adjutrix, _flattery, promoter of evils_. Yet flumen Rhenus, _the River Rhine_; and always in good prose urbs Roma, _the city Rome_. 3. The Vocative usually follows one or more words; as,-- audi, Caesar, _hear, Caesar!_ 4. Adjectives. No general law can be laid down for the position of Adjectives. On the whole they precede the noun oftener than they follow it. a. Adjectives of _quantity_ (including _numerals_) regularly precede their noun; as,-- omnes homines, _all men_; septingentae naves, _seven hundred vessels_. b. Note the force of position in the following:-- media urbs, _the middle of the city_; urbs media, _the middle city_, extremum bellum, _the end of the war_; bellum extremum, _the last war_. c. Romanus and Latinus regularly follow; as,-- senatus populusque Romanus, _the Roman Senate and People_; ludi Romani, _the Roman games_; feriae Latinae, _the Latin holidays_. d. When a Noun is modified both by an Adjective and by a Genitive, a favorite order is: Adjective, Genitive, Noun; as,-- summa omnium rerum abundantia, _the greatest abundance of all things_. 5. Pronouns. a. The Demonstrative, Relative, and Interrogative Pronouns regularly precede the Noun; as,-- hic homo, _this man_; ille homo, _that man_; erant duo itinera, quibus itineribus, etc., _there were two routes, by which_, etc. qui homo? _what sort of man_? b. But ille in the sense of '_that well known_,' '_that famous_,' usually stands after its Noun; as,-- testula illa, _that well-known custom of ostracism_; Medea illa, _that famous Medea_. c. Possessive and Indefinite Pronouns usually follow their Noun; as,-- pater meus, _my father_; homo quidam, _a certain man_; mulier aliqua, _some woman_. But for purposes of contrast the Possessive often precedes its Noun; as,-- meus pater, MY _father_ (i.e. as opposed to _yours_, _his_, etc.). d. Where two or more Pronouns occur in the same sentence, the Latin is fond of putting them in close proximity; as,-- nisi forte ego vobis cessare videor, _unless perchance I seem to you to be doing nothing_. 6. Adverbs and Adverbial phrases regularly precede the word they modify; as,-- valde diligens, _extremely diligent_; saepe dixi, _I have often said_; te jam diu hortamur, _we have long been urging you_; paulo post, _a little after_. 7. Prepositions regularly precede the words they govern. a. But limiting words often intervene between the Preposition and its case; as,-- de communi hominum memoria, _concerning the common memory of men_; ad beate vivendum, _for living happily_. b. When a noun is modified by an Adjective, the Adjective is often placed before the preposition; as,-- magno in dolore, _in great grief_; summa cum laude, _with the highest credit_; qua de causa, _for which cause_; hanc ob rem, _on account of this thing_. c. For Anastrophe, by which a Preposition is put after its case, see Sec. 144, 3. 8. Conjunctions. Autem, enim, and igitur regularly stand in the second place in the sentence, but when combined with est or sunt they often stand third; as,-- ita est enim, _for so it is_. 9. Words or Phrases referring to the preceding sentence or to some part of it, regularly stand first; as,-- id ut audivit, Corcyram demigravit, _when he heard that_ (referring to the contents of the preceding sentence), _he moved to Corcyra_; eo cum Caesar venisset, timentes confirmat, _when Caesar had come thither_ (i.e. to the place just mentioned), _he encouraged the timid_. 10. The Latin has a fondness for putting side by side words which are etymologically related; as,-- ut ad senem senex de senectute, sic hoc libro ad amicum amicissimus de amicitia scripsi, _as I, an old man, wrote to an old man, on old age, so in this book, as a fond friend, I have written to a friend, concerning friendship_. 11. Special rhetorical devices for indicating emphasis are the following:-- a) Hyperbaton, which consists in the separation of words that regularly stand together; as,-- septimus mihi Originum liber est in manibus, _the seventh book of my 'Origines' is under way_; recepto Caesar Orico proficiscitur, _having recovered Oricus, Caesar set out_. b) Anaphora, which consists in the repetition of the same word or the same word-order in successive phrases; as,-- sed pleni omnes sunt libri, plenae sapientium voces, plena exemplorum vetustas, _but all books are full of it, the voices of sages are full of it, antiquity is full of examples of it_. c) Chiasmus,[59] which consists in changing the relative order of words in two antithetical phrases; as,-- multos defendi, laesi neminem, _many have I defended, I have injured no one_; horribilem illum diem aliis, nobis faustum, _that day dreadful to others, for us fortunate_. d) Synchysis, or the interlocked arrangement. This is mostly confined to poetry, yet occurs in rhetorical prose, especially that of the Imperial Period; as,-- simulatam Pompejanarum gratiam partium, _pretended interest in the Pompeian party_. 12. Metrical Close. At the end of a sentence certain cadences were avoided; others were much employed. Thus:-- a) Cadences avoided. _ v v _ v or _ ; as, esse videtur (close of hexameter). _ v v v or _ ; as, esse potest (close of pentameter). b) Cadences frequently employed. _ v _ ; as, auxerant. _ v _ v ; as, comprobavit. _ v v v _ v ; as, esse videatur. v _ _ v _ ; as, rogatu tuo. B. SENTENCE-STRUCTURE. 351. 1. Unity of Subject.--In complex sentences the Latin regularly holds to unity of Subject in the different members; as,-- Caesar primum suo, deinde omnium ex conspectu remotis equis, ut aequato periculo spem fugae tolleret, cohortatus suos proelium commisit, _Caesar having first removed his own horse from sight, then the horses of all, in order, by making the danger equal, to take away hope of flight, encouraged his men and joined battle_. 2. A word serving as the common Subject or Object of the main clause and a subordinate one, stands before both; as,-- Haedui cum se defendere non possent, legatos ad Caesarem mittunt, _since the Haedui could not defend themselves, they sent envoys to Caesar_; ille etsi flagrabat bellandi cupiditate, tamen paci serviendum putavit, _although he was burning with a desire to fight, yet he thought he ought to aim at peace_. a. The same is true also 1) When the Subject of the main clause is Object (Direct or Indirect) of a subordinate clause; as,-- Caesar, cum hoc ei nuntiatum esset, maturat ab urbe proficisci, _when this had been reported to Caesar he hastened to set out from the city_. 2) When the Subject of a subordinate clause is at the same time the Object (Direct or Indirect) of the main clause; as,-- L. Manlio, cum dictator fuisset, M. Pomponius tribunus plebis diem dixit, _M. Pomponius, tribune of the people, instituted proceedings against Lucius Manlius, though he had been dictator_. 3. Of subordinate clauses, temporal, conditional, and adversative clauses more commonly precede the main clause; indirect questions and clauses of purpose or result more commonly follow; as,-- postquam haec dixit, profectus est, _after he said this, he set out_; si quis ita agat, imprudens sit, _if any one should act so, he would be devoid of foresight_; accidit ut una nocte omnes Hermae deicerentur, _it happened that in a single night all the Hermae were thrown down_. 4. Sometimes in Latin the main verb is placed within the subordinate clause; as,-- si quid est in me ingeni, quod sentio quam sit exiguum, _if there is any talent in me, and I know how little it is_. 5. The Latin Period. The term Period, when strictly used, designates a compound sentence in which the subordinate clauses are inserted within the main clause; as,-- Caesar etsi intellegebat qua de causa ea dicerentur, tamen, ne aestatem in Treveris consumere cogeretur, Indutiomarum ad se venire jussit, _though Caesar perceived why this was said, yet, lest he should be forced to spend the summer among the Treveri, he ordered Indutiomarus to come to him_. In the Periodic structure the thought is suspended until the end of the sentence is reached. Many Roman writers were extremely fond of this sentence-structure, and it was well adapted to the inflectional character of their language; in English we generally avoid it. 6. When there are several subordinate clauses in one Period, the Latin so arranges them as to avoid a succession of verbs. Thus:-- At hostes cum misissent, qui, quae in castris gererentur, cognoscerent, ubi se deceptos intellexerunt, omnibus copiis subsecuti ad flumen contendunt, _but the enemy when they had sent men to learn what was going on in camp, after discovering that they had been outwitted, followed with all their forces and hurried to the river_. * * * * * CHAPTER VIII.-_Hints on Latin Style._ 352. In this chapter brief consideration is given to a few features of Latin diction which belong rather to style than to formal grammar. NOUNS. 353. 1. Where a distinct reference to several persons or things is involved, the Latin is frequently _much more exact in the use of the Plural_ than is the English; as,-- domos eunt, _they go home (i.e. to their homes_); Germani corpora curant, _the Germans care for the body_; animos militum recreat, _he renews the courage of the soldiers_; dies noctesque timere, _to be in a state of fear day and night_. 2. In case of Neuter Pronouns and Adjectives used substantively, the Latin often employs the Plural where the English uses the Singular; as,-- omnia sunt perdita, _everything is lost_; quae cum ita sint, _since this is so_; haec omnibus pervulgata sunt, _this is very well known to all_. 3. The Latin is usually _more concrete_ than the English, and especially _less bold in the personification_ of abstract qualities. Thus:-- a puero, a pueris, _from boyhood_; Sulla dictatore, _in Sulla's dictatorship_; me duce, _under my leadership_; Romani cum Carthaginiensibus pacem fecerunt = _Rome made peace with Carthage_; liber doctrinae plenus = _a learned book_; prudentia Themistoclis Graecia servata est = _Themistocles's foresight saved Greece_. 4. The Nouns of Agency in -tor and -sor (see Sec. 147, 1) denote a _permanent_ or _characteristic activity_; as,-- accusatores, _(professional) accusers_; oratores, _pleaders_; cantores, _singers_; Arminius, Germaniae liberator, _Arminius, liberator of Germany_. a. To denote single instances of an action, other expressions are commonly employed; as,-- Numa, qui Romulo successit, _Numa, successor of Romulus_; qui mea legunt, _my readers_; qui me audiunt, _my auditors_. 5. The Latin avoids the use of prepositional phrases as modifiers of a Noun. In English we say: '_The war against Carthage_'; '_a journey through Gaul_'; '_cities on the sea_'; '_the book in my hands_'; '_the fight at Salamis_'; etc. The Latin in such cases usually employs another mode of expression. Thus:-- a) A Genitive; as,-- dolor injuriarum, _resentment at injuries_. b) An Adjective; as,-- urbes maritimae, _cities on the sea_; pugna Salaminia, _the fight at Salamis_. c) A Participle; as,-- pugna ad Cannas facta, _the battle at Cannae_. d) A Relative clause; as,-- liber qui in meis manibus est, _the book in my hands_. NOTE.--Yet within certain limits the Latin does employ Prepositional phrases as Noun modifiers. This is particularly frequent when the governing noun is derived from a verb. The following are typical examples:-- transitus in Britanniam, _the passage to Britain_; excessus e vita, _departure from life_; odium erga Romanos, _hatred of the Romans_; liber de senectute, _the book on old age_; amor in patriam, _love for one's country_. ADJECTIVES. 354. 1. Special Latin Equivalents for English Adjectives are-- a) A Genitive; as,-- virtutes animi = _moral virtues_; dolores corporis = _bodily ills_. b) An Abstract Noun; as,-- novitas rei = _the strange circumstance_; asperitas viarum = _rough roads_. c) Hendiadys (see Sec. 374, 4); as,-- ratio et ordo = _systematic order_; ardor et impetus = _eager onset_. d) Sometimes an Adverb; as,-- omnes circa populi, _all the surrounding tribes_; suos semper hostes, _their perpetual foes_. 2. Often a Latin Noun is equivalent to an English Noun modified by an Adjective; as,-- doctrina, _theoretical knowledge_; prudentia, _practical knowledge_; oppidum, _walled town_; libellus, _little book_. 3. Adjectives are not used in immediate agreement with proper names; but an Adjective may limit vir, homo, ille, or some other word used as an Appositive of a proper name; as,-- Socrates, homo sapiens = _the wise Socrates_; Scipio, vir fortissimus = _the doughty Scipio_; Syracusae, urbs praeclarissima = _famous Syracuse_. 4. An Adjective _may be_ equivalent to a Possessive or Subjective Genitive; as,-- pastor regius, _the shepherd of the king_; tumultus servilis, _the uprising of the slaves_. PRONOUNS. 355. 1. In Compound Sentences the Relative Pronoun has a fondness for connecting itself with the subordinate clause rather than the main one; as,-- a quo cum quaereretur, quid maxime expediret, respondit, _when it was asked of him what was best, he replied_. (Less commonly, qui, cum ab eo quaereretur, respondit.) 2. Uterque, ambo. Uterque means _each of two_; ambo means _both_; as,-- uterque frater abiit, _each of the two brothers departed_ (i.e. separately); ambo fratres abierunt, i.e. the two brothers departed together. a. The Plural of uterque occurs-- 1) With Nouns used only in the Plural (see Sec. 56); as,-- in utrisque castris, _in each camp_. 2) Where there is a distinct reference to two groups of persons or things; as,-- utrique duces clari fuerunt, _the generals on each side_ (several in number) _were famous_. VERBS. 356. 1. In case of Defective and Deponent Verbs, a Passive is supplied:-- a) By the corresponding verbal Nouns in combination with esse, etc.; as,-- in odio sumus, _we are hated_; in invidia sum, _I am envied_; admirationi est, _he is admired_; oblivione obruitur, _he is forgotten_ (lit. _is overwhelmed by oblivion_); in usu esse, _to be used_. b) By the Passive of Verbs of related meaning. Thus:-- agitari as Passive of persequi; temptari as Passive of adoriri. 2. The lack of the Perfect Active Participle in Latin is supplied-- a) Sometimes by the Perfect Passive Participle of the Deponent; as,-- adhortatus, _having exhorted_; veritus, _having feared_. b) By the Ablative Absolute; as,-- hostium agris vastatis Caesar exercitum reduxit, _having ravaged the country of the enemy, Caesar led back his army_. c) By subordinate clauses; as,-- eo cum advenisset, castra posuit, _having arrived there, he pitched a camp_; hostes qui in urbem irruperant, _the enemy having burst into the city_. 3. The Latin agrees with English in the stylistic employment of the Second Person Singular in an indefinite sense (= '_one_'). _Cf._ the English '_You can drive a horse to water, but you can't make him drink._' But in Latin this use is mainly confined to certain varieties of the Subjunctive, especially the Potential (Sec. 280), Jussive (Sec. 275), Deliberative (Sec. 277), and the Subjunctive in conditional sentences of the sort included under Sec. 302, 2, and 303. Examples:-- videres, _you could see_; utare viribus, _use your strength_, quid hoc homine facias, _what are you to do with this man_? mens quoque et animus, nisi tamquam lumini oleum instilles, exstinguuntur senectute, _the intellect and mind too are extinguished by old age, unless, so to speak, you keep pouring oil into the lamp_; tanto amore possessiones suas amplexi tenebant, ut ab eis membra divelli citius posse diceres, _they clung to their possessions with such an affectionate embrace, that you would have said their limbs could sooner be torn from their bodies_. PECULIARITIES IN THE USE OF THE ACCUSATIVE. 357. 1. To denote '_so many years, etc., afterwards or before_' the Latin employs not merely the Ablative of Degree of Difference with post and ante (see Sec. 223), but has other forms of expression. Thus:-- post quinque annos, _five years afterward_; paucos ante dies, _a few days before_; ante quadriennium, _four years before_; post diem quartum quam ab urbe discesseramus, _four days after we had left the city_; ante tertium annum quam decesserat, _three years before he had died_. 2. The Latin seldom combines both Subject and Object with the same Infinitive; as,-- Romanos Hannibalem vicisse constat. Such a sentence would be ambiguous, and might mean either that the Romans had conquered Hannibal, or that Hannibal had conquered the Romans. Perspicuity was gained by the use of the Passive Infinitive; as,-- Romanos ab Hannibale victos esse constat, _it is well established that the Romans were defeated by Hannibal_. PECULIARITIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE DATIVE. 358. 1. The English _for_ does not always correspond to a Dative notion in Latin, but is often the equivalent of pro with the Ablative, viz. in the senses-- a) _In defense of_; as,-- pro patria mori, _to die for one's country_. b) _Instead of_, _in behalf of_; as,-- unus pro omnibus dixit, _one spoke for all_; haec pro lege dicta sunt, _these things were said for the law_. c) _In proportion to_; as,-- pro multitudine hominum eorum fines erant angusti, _for the population, their territory was small_. 2. Similarly, English _to_ when it indicates motion is rendered in Latin by ad. a. Note, however, that the Latin may say either scribere ad aliquem, or scribere alicui, according as the idea of motion is or is not predominant. So in several similar expressions. 3. In the poets, verbs of _mingling with_, _contending with_, _joining_, _clinging to_, etc., sometimes take the Dative. This construction is a Grecism. Thus:-- se miscet viris, _he mingles with the men_; contendis Homero, _you contend with Homer_; dextrae dextram jungere, _to clasp hand with hand_. PECULIARITIES IN THE USE OF THE GENITIVE. 359. 1. The Possessive Genitive gives emphasis to the _possessor_, the Dative of Possessor emphasizes _the fact of possession_; as,-- hortus patris est, _the garden is my father's_; mihi hortus est, _I possess a garden_. 2. The Latin can say either stulti or stultum est dicere, _it is foolish to say_; but Adjectives of one ending permit only the Genitive; as,-- sapientis est haec secum reputare, _it is the part of a wise man to consider this_. * * * * * PART VI. PROSODY. 360. Prosody treats of metres and versification. 361. Latin Verse. Latin Poetry was essentially different in character from English. In our own language, poetry is based upon _accent_, and poetical form consists essentially in a certain succession of _accented_ and _unaccented_ syllables. Latin poetry, on the other hand, was based not upon accent, but upon _quantity_, so that with the Romans poetical form consisted in a certain succession of _long and short syllables_, i.e. of long and short intervals of time. This fundamental difference in the character of English and Latin poetry is a natural result of the difference in character of the two languages. English is a strongly accented language, in which quantity is relatively subordinate. Latin, on the other hand, was a quantitative language, in which accent was relatively subordinate. QUANTITY OF VOWELS AND SYLLABLES GENERAL PRINCIPLES. 362. The general principles for the quantity of vowels and syllables have been given above in Sec. 5. The following peculiarities are to be noted here:-- 1. A vowel is usually short when followed by another vowel (Sec. 5, A, 2), but the following exceptions occur:-- a) In the Genitive termination -ius (except alterius); as, illius, totius. Yet the i may be short in poetry; as, illius, totius. b) In the Genitive and Dative Singular of the Fifth Declension; as, diei, aciei. But fidei, rei, spei (Sec. 52, 1). c) In fio, excepting fit and forms where i is followed by er. Thus: fiebam, fiat, fiunt; but fieri, fierem. d) In a few other words, especially words derived from the Greek; as, dius, Aeneas, Darius, heroes, etc. 2. A diphthong is usually long (Sec. 5, B, 2), but the preposition prae in composition is often shortened before a vowel; as, praeacutus. 3. A syllable containing a short vowel followed by two consonants (Sec. 5, B, 2) is long, even when one of the consonants is in the following word; as, terret populum. Occasionally the syllable is long when both consonants are in the following word; as, pro segete spicas. 4. Compounds of jacio, though written inicit, adicit, etc., have the first syllable long, as though written inj-, adj-. 5. Before j, a and e made a long syllable, e.g. in major, pejor, ejus, ejusdem, Pompejus, rejecit, etc. These were pronounced, mai-jor, pei-jor, ei-jus, Pompei-jus, rei-jecit, etc. So also sometimes before i, e.g. Pompe-i, pronounced Pompei-i; re-icio, pronounced rei-icio. Quantity of Final Syllables. _A. Final Syllables ending in a Vowel._ 363. 1. Final a is mostly short, but is long:-- a) In the Ablative Singular of the First Declension; as, porta. b) In the Imperative; as, lauda. c) In indeclinable words (except ita, quia); as, triginta, contra, postea, interea, etc. 2. Final e is usually short, but is long:-- a) In the Ablative Singular of the Fifth Declension; as, die, re; hence hodie, quare. Here belongs also fame (Sec. 59, 2, b). b) In the Imperative of the Second Conjugation; as, mone, habe, etc.; yet occasionally cave, vale. c) In Adverbs derived from Adjectives of the Second Declension, along with fere and ferme. Bene, male, temere, saepe have e. d) In e, de, me, te, se, ne (_not_, _lest_), ne (_verily_). 3. Final i is usually long, but is short in nisi and quasi. Mihi, tibi, sibi, ibi, ubi, have regularly i, but sometimes i; yet always ibidem, ibique, ubique. 4. Final o is regularly long, but is short:-- a) In ego, duo, modo (_only_), cito. b) Rarely in the First Person Singular of the Verb, and in Nominatives of the Third Declension; as, amo, leo. c) In a few compounds beginning with the Preposition pro, especially before f; as profundere, proficisci, profugere. 5. Final u is always long. _B. Final Syllables ending in a Consonant._ 364. 1. Final syllables ending in any other consonant than s are short. The following words, however, have a long vowel: sal, sol, Lar, par, ver, fur, dic, duc, en, non, quin, sin, sic, cur. Also the adverbs hic, illic, istic.[60] 2. Final syllables in -as are long; as, terras, amas. 3. Final syllables in -es are regularly long, but are short:-- a) In the Nominative and Vocative Singular of dental stems (Sec. 33) of the Third Declension which have a short penult in the Genitive; as, seges (segetis), obses (obsidis), miles, dives. But a few have -es; viz. pes, aries, abies, paries. b) In es (_thou art_), penes. 4. Final -os is usually long, but short in os (ossis), compos, impos. 5. Final -is is usually short, but is long:-- a) In Plurals; as, portis, hortis, nobis, vobis, nubis (Acc.). b) In the Second Person Singular Perfect Subjunctive Active; as, amaveris, monueris, audiveris, etc. Yet occasional exceptions occur. c) In the Second Person Singular Present Indicative Active of the Fourth Conjugation; as, audis. d) In vis, _force_; is, _thou goest_; fis; sis; velis; nolis; vis, _thou wilt_ (mavis, quamvis, quivis, etc.). 6. Final -us is usually short, but is long:-- a) In the Genitive Singular and in the Nominative, Accusative, and Vocative Plural of the Fourth Declension; as, fructus. _b_) In the Nominative and Vocative Singular of those nouns of the Third Declension in which the u belongs to the stem; as, palus (-udis), servitus (-utis), tellus (-uris). 365. Greek Nouns retain in Latin their original quantity; as, Aenea, epitome, Delos, Pallas, Simois, Salamis, Didus, Paridi, aer, aether, crater, heroas. Yet Greek nouns in -_omega-rho_ (-or) regularly shorten the vowel of the final syllable; as, rhetor, Hector. VERSE-STRUCTURE. GENERAL PRINCIPLES. 366. 1. The metrical unit in versification is a short syllable, technically called a mora ( v ). A long syllable ( _ ) is regarded as equivalent to two morae. 2. A Foot is a group of syllables. The following are the most important kinds of fundamental feet:-- FEET OF THREE MORAE. FEET OF FOUR MORAE. _ v Trochee. _ v v Dactyl. v _ Iambus. v v _ Anapaest. 3. A Verse is a succession of feet. 4. The different kinds of verses are named Trochaic, Iambic, Dactylic, Anapaestic, according to the foot which forms the basis of their structure. 5. Ictus. In every fundamental foot the long syllable naturally receives the greater prominence. This prominence is called ictus.[61] It is denoted thus: _/ v v ; _/ v . 6. Thesis and Arsis. The syllable which receives the ictus is called the thesis; the rest of the foot is called the arsis. 7. Elision. Final syllables ending in a vowel, a diphthong, or -m are regularly elided before a word beginning with a vowel or h. In reading, we omit the elided syllable entirely. This may be indicated as follows: corpor^e in uno; mult^um ill^e et; monstr^um horrendum; caus^ae irarum. a. Omission of elision is called Hiatus. It occurs especially before and after monosyllabic interjections; as, O et praesidium. 8. The ending of a word within a foot is called a Caesura (_cutting_) Every verse usually has one prominent caesura. The ending of a word and foot together within the verse is called a diaeresis. 9. Verses are distinguished as Catalectic or Acatalectic. A Catalectic verse is one in which the last foot is not complete, but lacks one or more syllables; an Acatalectic verse has its last foot complete. 10. At the end of a verse a slight pause occurred. Hence the final syllable may be either long or short (syllaba anceps), and may terminate in a vowel or m, even though the next verse begins with a vowel. 11. Iambic, Trochaic, and Anapaestic verses are further designated as dimeter, trimeter, tetrameter, according to _the number of dipodies_ (pairs of feet) which they contain. Dactylic verses are measured _by single feet_, and are designated as tetrameter, pentameter, hexameter, accordingly. SPECIAL PECULIARITIES. 367. 1. Synizesis (synaeresis). Two successive vowels in the interior of a word are often united into a long syllable; as,-- aur{ei}s, d{ei}nde, ant{ei}re, d{ee}sse. 2. Diastole. A syllable usually short is sometimes long; as,-- videt, audit. 3. Systole. A syllable usually long is sometimes short; as,-- steterunt. a. Diastole and Systole are not mere arbitrary processes. They usually represent an earlier pronunciation which had passed out of vogue in the ordinary speech. 4. After a consonant, i and u sometimes become j and v. The preceding syllable then becomes long; as,-- abjete for abiete; genva for genua. 5. Sometimes v becomes u; as,-- silua for silva; dissoluo for dissolvo. 6. Sometimes a verse has an extra syllable. Such a verse is called an Hypermeter. The extra syllable ends in a vowel or -m, and is united with the initial vowel or h of the next verse by Synapheia. Thus:-- ... ignar^i hominumque locorum^que erramus. 7. Tmesis (cutting). Compound words are occasionally separated into their elements; as,-- quo me cumque rapit tempestas, for quocumque, etc. 8. Syncope. A short vowel is sometimes dropped between two consonants; as,-- repostus for repositus THE DACTYLIC HEXAMETER. 368. 1. The Dactylic Hexameter, or Heroic Verse, consists theoretically of six dactyls. But in all the feet except the fifth, a spondee ( _ _ ) may take the place of the dactyl. The sixth foot may be either a spondee or a trochee, since the final syllable of a verse may be either long or short (syllaba anceps). The following represents the scheme of the verse:-- _/ vv (or _) ; _/ vv (or _) ; _/ vv (or _) ; _/ vv (or _) ; _/ vv ; _/ v (or _). 2. Sometimes we find a spondee in the fifth foot. Such verses are called Spondaic. A dactyl usually stands in the fourth place, and the fifth and sixth feet are generally made up of a quadrisyllable; as,-- armatum^que auro circumspicit Oriona. cara deum suboles, magnum Jovis incrementum. 3. Caesura. a) The favorite position of the caesura in the Dactylic Hexameter is after the thesis of the third foot; as,-- arma virumque cano || Trojae qui primus ab oris. b) Less frequently the caesura occurs after the thesis of the fourth foot, usually accompanied by another in the second foot; as,-- inde toro || pater Aeneas || sic orsus ab alt^o est. c) Sometimes the caesura occurs between the two short syllables of the third foot; as,-- O passi graviora || dabit deus his quoque finem. This caesura is called Feminine, as opposed to the caesura after a long syllable, which is called Masculine (as under a and b) d) A pause sometimes occurs at the end of the fourth foot. This is called the Bucolic Diaeresis, as it was borrowed by the Romans from the Bucolic poetry of the Greeks. Thus:-- solstitium pecori defendite; || jam venit aestas. DACTYLIC PENTAMETER. 369. 1. The Dactylic Pentameter consists of two parts, each of which contains two dactyls, followed by a long syllable. Spondees may take the place of the dactyls in the first part, but not in the second. The long syllable at the close of the first half of the verse always ends a word. The scheme is the following:-- _/ vv (or _) _/ vv (or _) _/ || _/ vv _/ vv v (or _). 2. The Pentameter is never used alone, but only in connection with the Hexameter. The two arranged alternately form the so-called Elegiac Distich. Thus:-- Vergilium vidi tantum, neo amara Tibullo Tempus amicitiae fata dedere meae. IAMBIC MEASURES. 370. 1. The most important Iambic verse is the Iambic Trimeter (Sec. 366, 11), called also Senarius. This is an acatalectic verse. It consists of six Iambi. Its pure form is:-- v _ v _ v _ v _ v _ v _ Beatus ille qui procul negotiis. The Caesura usually occurs in the third foot; less frequently in the fourth. 2. In place of the Iambus, a Tribrach ( v v v ) may stand in any foot but the last. In the odd feet (first, third, and fifth) may stand a Spondee, Dactyl, or Anapaest, though the last two are less frequent. Sometimes a Proceleusmatic ( v v v v ) occurs. 3. In the Latin comic writers, Plautus and Terence, great freedom is permitted, and the various equivalents of the Iambus, viz. the Dactyl, Anapaest, Spondee, Tribrach, Proceleusmatic, are freely admitted in any foot except the last. * * * * * SUPPLEMENTS TO THE GRAMMAR. I. JULIAN CALENDAR. 371. 1. The names of the Roman months are: Januarius, Februarius, Martius, Aprilis, Majus, Junius, Julius (Quintilis[62] prior to 46 B.C.), Augustus (Sextilis[62] before the Empire), September, October, November, December. These words are properly Adjectives in agreement with mensis understood. 2. Dates were reckoned from three points in the month:-- a) The Calends, the first of the month. b) The Nones, usually the fifth of the month, but the seventh in March, May, July, and October. c) The Ides, usually the thirteenth of the month, but the fifteenth in March, May, July, and October. 3. From these points dates were reckoned backward; consequently all days after the Ides of any month were reckoned as so many days before the Calends of the month next following. 4. The day before the Calends, Nones, or Ides of any month is designated as pridie Kalendas, Nonas, Idus. The second day before was designated as die tertio ante Kalendas, Nonas, etc. Similarly the third day before was designated as die quarto, and so on. These designations are arithmetically inaccurate, but the Romans reckoned both ends of the series. The Roman numeral indicating the date is therefore always larger by one than the actual number of days before Nones, Ides, or Calends. 5. In indicating dates, the name of the month is added in the form of an Adjective agreeing with Kalendas, Nonas, Idus. Various forms of expression occur, of which that given under d) is most common:-- ===================================================================== Days |March,May,July|January, August| April,June, | of the| October. | December | September, | February month.| | | November | ------+--------------+---------------+---------------+--------------- 1 |KALENDIS |KALENDIS |KALENDIS |KALENDIS 2 |VI Nonas |IV Nonas |IV Nonas |IV Nonas 3 |V " |III " |III " |III " 4 |IV " |Pridie Nonas |Pridie Nonas |Pridie Nonas 5 |III " |NONIS |NONIS |NONIS 6 |Pridie Nonas |VIII Idus |VIII Idus |VIII Idus 7 |NONIS |VII " |VII " |VII " 8 |VIII Idus |VI " |VI " |VI " 9 |VII " |V " |V " |V " 10 |VI " |IV " |IV " |IV " 11 |V " |III " |III " |III " 12 |IV " |Pr.

PROPER NAMES. 373. 1. The name of a Roman citizen regularly consisted of three parts: the praenomen (or given name), the nomen (name of the _gens_ or clan), and the cognomen (family name). Such a typical name is exemplied by Marcus Tullius Cicero, in which Marcus is the praenomen, Tullius the nomen, and Cicero the cognomen. Sometimes a second cognomen (in later Latin called an agnomen) is added--expecially in honor of military achievements; as,-- Gaius Cornelius Scipio Africanus. 2. ABBREVIATIONS OF PROPER NAMES. A. = Aulus. Mam. = Mamercus. App. = Appius. N. = Numerius. C. = Gaius. P. = Publius. Cn. = Gnaeus. Q. = Quintus. D. = Decimus. Sex. = Sextus. K. = Kaeso. Ser. = Servius. L. = Lucius. Sp. = Spurius. M. = Marcus. T. = Titus. M'. = Manius. Ti. = Tiberius. * * * * * III. FIGURES OF SYNTAX AND RHETORIC. _A._ Figures of Syntax. 374. 1. Ellipsis is the omission of one or more words; as,-- quid multa, _why (should I say) much?_ 2. Brachylogy is a brief or condensed form of expression; as,-- ut ager sine cultura fructuosus esse non potest, sic sine doctrina animus, _as a field cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind (cannot be productive) without learning._ Special varieties of Brachylogy are-- a) Zeugma, in which one verb is made to stand for two; as,-- minis aut blandimentis corrupta = _(terrifed) by threats or corrupted by flattery._ b) Compendiary Comparison, by which a modifier of an object is mentioned instead of the object itself; as,-- dissimilis erat Chares eorum et factis et moribus, lit. _Chares was different from their conduct and character_ i.e. Chares's conduct and character were different, etc. 3. Pleonasm is an unnecessary fullness of expression; as,-- prius praedicam, lit. _I will first say in advance_. 4. Hendiadys , (_one through two_) is the use of two nouns joined by a conjunction, in the sense of a noun modified by a Genitive or an Adjective; as,-- febris et aestus, _the heat of fever_; celeritate cursuque, _by swift running_. 5. Prolepsis, or Anticipation, is the introduction of an epithet in advance of the action which makes it appropriate; as,-- submersas obrue puppes, lit. _overwhelm their submerged ships_, i.e. overwhelm and sink their ships. a. The name Prolepsis is also applied to the introduction of a noun or pronoun as object of the main clause where we should expect it to stand as subject of a subordinate clause. Thus:-- nosti Marcellum quam tardus sit, _you know how slow Marcellus is_ (lit. _you know Marcellus, how slow he is_). Both varieties of Prolepsis are chiefly confined to poetry. 6. Anacoluthon is a lack of grammatical consistency in the construction of the sentence; as,-- tum Anci filii ... impensius eis indignitas crescere, _then the sons of Ancus ... their indignation increased all the more_. 7. Hysteron Proteron consists in the inversion of the natural order of two words or phrases; as,-- moriamur et in media arma ruamus = _let us rush into the midst of arms and die_. B. Figures of Rhetoric. 375. 1. Litotes (literally _softening_) is the expression of an idea by the denial of its opposite; as,-- haud parum laboris, _no little toil_ (i.e. much toil); non ignoro, _I am not ignorant_ (_i.e._ I am well aware). 2. Oxymoron is the combination of contradictory conceptions; as,-- sapiens insania, _wise folly_. 3. Alliteration is the employment of a succession of words presenting frequent repetition of the same letter (mostly initial); as,-- sensim sine sensu aetas senescit. 4. Onomatopoeia is the suiting of sound to sense; as,-- quadrupedante putrem sonitu quatit ungula campum, '_And shake with horny hoofs the solid ground_.' * * * * * INDEX OF THE SOURCES OF THE ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES CITED IN THE SYNTAX.[63] Sec. 162. nonne videtis, _Sest._ 47. num exspectas, _Phil._ ii, 86. videsne, _Vatin._ 30. sensistine, _Cat._ 1, 8. a rebus, _de Sen._ 15. visne locum, _Leg._ ii, 1. estisne, _Liv._ i, 38, 2. jam ea, _Ter.

[2] Cuneiform means "wedge-shaped." The name applies to the form of the strokes of which the characters consist. [3] The name Zend is often given to this. [4] For 'voiceless,' 'surd,' 'hard,' or 'tenuis' are sometimes used. [5] For 'voiced,' 'sonant,' 'soft,' or 'media' are sometimes used. [6] In this book, long vowels are indicated by a horizontal line above them; as, a, i, o, etc. Vowels not thus marked are short. Occasionally a curve is set above short vowels; as, e, u. [7] To avoid confusion, the quantity of _syllables_ is not indicated by any sign. [8] But if the l or r introduces the second part of a compound, the preceding syllable is always long; as, abrumpo. [9] Only the simplest and most obvious of these are here treated. [10] Only the simplest and most obvious of these are here treated. [11] The great majority of all Latin nouns come under this category. The principles for determining their gender are given under the separate declensions. [12] The Stem is often derived from a more primitive form called the Root. Thus, the stem porta- goes back to the root per-, por-. Roots are usually monosyllabic. The addition made to a root to form a stem is called a Suffix. Thus in porta- the suffix is -ta. [13] There is only one stem ending in -m:--hiems, hiemis, _winter_. [14] Mensis, _month_, originally a consonant stem (mens-), has in the Genitive Plural both mensium and mensum. The Accusative Plural is menses. [15] This is practically always used instead of alius in the Genitive. [16] A Dative Singular Feminine alterae also occurs. [17] Supplied by vetustior, from vetustus. [18] Supplied by recentior. [19] For _newest_, recentissimus is used. [20] Supplied by minimus natu. [21] Supplied by maximus natu. [22] The final i is sometimes long in poetry. [23] Forms of hic ending in -s sometimes append -ce for emphasis; as, hujusce, _this ... here_; hosce, hisce. When -ne is added, -c and -ce become -ci; as huncine, hoscine. [24] For istud, istuc sometimes occurs; for ista, istaec. [25] For illud, illuc sometimes occurs. [26] Sometimes quis. [27] An ablative qui occurs in quicum, _with whom_. [28] Where the Perfect Participle is not in use, the Future Active Participle, if it occurs, is given as one of the Principal Parts. [29] The Perfect Participle is wanting in sum. [30] The meanings of the different tenses of the Subjunctive are so many and so varied, particularly in subordinate clauses, that no attempt can be made to give them here. For fuller information the pupil is referred to the Syntax. [31] For essem, esses, esset, essent, the forms forem, fores, foret, forent are sometimes used. [32] For futurus esse, the form fore is often used. [33] Declined like bonus, -a, -um. [34] The Imperfect also means _I loved_. [35] For declension of amans, see Sec. 70, 3. [36] Fui, fuisti, etc., are sometimes used for sum, es, etc. So fueram, fueras, etc., for eram, etc.; fuero, etc., for ero, etc. [37] Fuerim, etc., are sometimes used for sim; so fuissem, etc., for essem. [38] In actual usage passive imperatives occur only in deponents (Sec. 112). [39] Strictly speaking, the Present Stem always ends in a Thematic Vowel (e or o); as, dic-e-, dic-o-; ama-e-, ama-o-. But the multitude of phonetic changes involved prevents a scientific treatment of the subject here. See the author's _Latin Language_. [40] But the compounds of juvo sometimes have _-juturus_; as, _adjuturus_. [41] Used only impersonally. [42] So _impleo_, _expleo_. [43] Compounds follow the Fourth Conjugation: _accio_, _accire_, etc. [44] Fully conjugated only in the compounds: _exstinguo_, _restinguo_, _distinguo_. [45] Only in the compounds: _evado_, _invado_, _pervado_. [46] It will be observed that not all the forms of fero lack the connecting vowel. Some of them, as ferimus, ferunt, follow the regular inflection of verbs of the Third Conjugation. [47] For the Predicate Genitive, see Sec. 198, 3; 203, 5. [48] Many such verbs were originally intransitive in English also, and once governed the Dative. [49] This was the original form of the preposition cum. [50] Place from which, though strictly a Genuine Ablative use, is treated here for sake of convenience. [51] Especially: moneo, admoneo; rogo, oro, peto, postulo, precor, flagito; mando, impero, praecipio; suadeo, hortor, cohortor; persuadeo, impello. [52] Especially: permitto, concedo, non patior. [53] Especially: prohibeo, impedio, deterreo. [54] Especially: constituo, decerno, censeo, placuit, convenit, paciscor. [55] Especially: laboro, do operam, id ago, contendo, impetro. [56] Exclamations, also, upon becoming indirect, take the Subjunctive, as considera quam variae sint hominum cupidines, _consider how varied are the desires of men._ (Direct: quam variae sunt hominum cupidines!) [57] Tradituri fuerint and erraturus fueris are to be regarded as representing tradituri fuerunt and erraturus fuisti of Direct Discourse. (See Sec. 304, 3, b.) [58] Except in Sallust and Silver Latin. [59] So named from a fancied analogy to the strokes of the Greek letter (_chi_). Thus:-- multos laesi _chi_ defendi neminem [60] The pronouns hic, hoc, and the adverb huc, probably had a short _vowel_. The syllable was made long by pronouncing hicc, hocc, etc. [61] Ictus was not accent,--neither stress accent not musical accent,--but was simply the quantitative prominence inherent in the long syllables of _fundamental feet_. [62] For explanation of the abbreviations, see p. 257. *** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK NEW LATIN GRAMMAR *** Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™ Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org. Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws. The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
