PREFACE.
The present work is a revision of that published in 1908. No radical alterations have been introduced, although
a number of minor changes will be noted. I have added an Introduction on the origin and development of the
Latin language, which it is hoped will prove interesting and instructive to the more ambitious pupil. At the
end of the book will be found an Index to the Sources of the Illustrative Examples cited in the Syntax.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

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 -īs, -īmus, -ītis 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.

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.

INTRODUCTION.

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.

INTRODUCTION. 10
 New Latin Grammar
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

EUROPEAN MEMBERS OF THE INDO-EUROPEAN FAMILY. 11

 New Latin Grammar

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).

EUROPEAN MEMBERS OF THE INDO-EUROPEAN FAMILY. 12

 New Latin Grammar

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.

EUROPEAN MEMBERS OF THE INDO-EUROPEAN FAMILY. 13

 New Latin Grammar

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).

Boëthius, 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,
Provençal (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.

THE ALPHABET.

1. The Latin Alphabet is the same as the English, except that the Latin has no w.

PART I. 14
 New Latin Grammar

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 adulterīnum; 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 § 3, 3.

10. The following table will indicate the relations of the consonant sounds:—

VOICELESS. VOICED. ASPIRATES.

p, b, ph, (Labials).

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.

ā as in father; ă as in the first syllable ahá;

ē as in they; ĕ as in met;
ī as in machine; ĭ as in pin;
ō as in note; ŏ as in obey, melody;
ū as in rude; ŭ as in put;
y like French u, German ü.
2. Diphthongs.

ae like ai in aisle; eu with its two elements, ĕ and ŭ, pronounced in
oe like oi in oil; rapid succession;
ei as in rein; ui occurs almost exclusively in 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 suādeō, suāvis, suēscō, and

in compounds and derivatives of these words, su has the sound of sw.

v like w.

SOUNDS, ACCENT, QUANTITY. 16

 New Latin Grammar

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-trī, dig-nus, mōn-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-grī,
vo-lu-cris, pa-tris, mā-tris. Yet if the l or r introduces the second part of a compound, the two
consonants are separated; as, ab-rumpō, ad-lātus.

5. The double consonant x is joined to the preceding vowel; as, ax-is, tēx-ī.

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, īnfāns, īnferior, cōnsūmō,

cēnseō, īnsum.

b) when the result of contraction; as, nīlum 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, nōndum (nōn dum).

SOUNDS, ACCENT, QUANTITY. 17

 New Latin Grammar

b) before another vowel, or h; as, meus, trahō. Some exceptions occur, chiefly in
proper names derived from the Greek; as, Aenēās.

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, māter, rēgnum, dīus.

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, restō.

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, ăgrī, volŭcris.[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-rī) the poets were able to use such syllables as long.

ACCENT.

6. 1. Words of two syllables are accented upon the first; as, tégit, mō´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, amā´vī, amántis, míserum.

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, miserō´que,
hominísque. 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, pórtaque; but míseráque.

4. Sometimes the final -e of -ne and -ce disappears, but without affecting the accent; as, tantō´n,
istī´c, illū´c.

5. In utră´que, each, and plēră´que, most, -que is not properly an enclitic; yet these
words accent the penult, owing to the influence of their other cases,—utérque, utrúmque,
plērúmque.

SOUNDS, ACCENT, QUANTITY. 18

 New Latin Grammar

7.. 1. In Compounds,

a) ĕ before a single consonant becomes ĭ; as,—

colligō for
con-legō.
b) ă before a single consonant becomes ĭ: as,—

adigō for ad-agō.

c) ă before two consonants becomes ē; as,—

expers for ex-pars.

d) ae becomes ī; as,—

conquīrō for
con-quaerō.
e) au becomes ū, sometimes ō; as,—

conclūdō for
con-claudō;
explōdō for
ex-plaudō.

2. Contraction. Concurrent vowels were frequently contracted into one long vowel. The first of the two
vowels regularly prevailed; as,—

trēs for tre-es; cōpia for co-opia;

mālō for ma(v)elō; cōgō for
co-agō;
amāstī for cōmō for
amā(v)istī; co-emō;
dēbeō for jūnior for ju(v)enior.
dē(h)abeō;
nīl for nihil;
3. Parasitic Vowels. In the environment of liquids and nasals a parasitic vowel sometimes develops;
as,—

vinculum for earlier vinclum.

So perīculum, saeculum.

4. Syncope. Sometimes a vowel drops out by syncope; as,—

ārdor for āridor (compare āridus);

valdē for validē (compare validus).

CONSONANT CHANGES[10]
8. 1. Rhotacism. An original s between vowels became r; as,—

arbōs, Gen. arboris (for arbosis);

genus, Gen. generis (for genesis);

dirimō (for dis-emō).

2. dt, tt, ts each give s or ss; as,—

pēnsum for pend-tum;

versum for vert-tum;

mīles for mīlet-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: accurrō
(adc-); aggerō (adg-); asserō (ads-); allātus (adl-); apportō (adp-); attulī
(adt-); arrīdeō (adr-); afferō (adf-); occurrō (obc-); suppōnō
(subp-); offerō (obf-); corruō (comr-); collātus (coml-); etc.

5. Partial Assimilation. Sometimes the assimilation is only partial. Thus:—

a) b before s or t becomes p; as,—

scrīpsī (scrīb-sī), scrīptum (scrīb-tum).

b) g before s or t becomes c; as,—

āctus (āg-tus).

c) m before a dental or guttural becomes n; as,—

eundem (eum-dem); prīnceps (prīm-ceps).

PECULIARITIES OF ORTHOGRAPHY.

9. Many words have variable orthography.

CONSONANT CHANGES[10] 20
 New Latin Grammar
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, lubīdō, etc. down to about the same era; later, optimus,
maximus, libet, libīdō, etc.

2. In some words the orthography varies at one and the same period of the language. Examples are
exspectō, expectō; exsistō, existō; epistula, epistola; adulēscēns,
adolēscēns; paulus, paullus; cottīdiē, cotīdiē; and, particularly,
prepositional compounds, which often made a concession to the etymology in the spelling; as,—

ad-gerō or aggerō; ad-serō or asserō;

ad-liciō or alliciō; in-lātus or illātus;
ad-rogāns or arrogāns; sub-moveō or
summoveō;
and many others.
3. Compounds of jaciō were usually written ēiciō, dēiciō, adiciō,
obiciō, etc., but were probably pronounced as though written adjiciō, objiciō, 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, antīquos, antīquom;
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;
vīvont, 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.

PART II. 21
 New Latin Grammar

CHAPTER I.—Declension.

A. NOUNS.

12. A Noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or quality; as, Caesar, Caesar; Rōma, Rome; penna,
feather; virtūs, courage.

1. Nouns are either Proper or Common. Proper nouns are permanent names of persons or places; as, Caesar,
Rōma. Other nouns are Common: as, penna, virtūs.

2. Nouns are also distinguished as Concrete or Abstract.

a) Concrete nouns are those which designate individual objects; as, mōns, mountain;
pēs, foot; diēs, day; mēns, mind.

Under concrete nouns are included, also, collective nouns; as, legiō, legion;
comitātus, retinue.

b) Abstract nouns designate qualities; as, cōnstantia, steadfastness; paupertās,

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,—

māter, mother; rēgīna, 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,—

CHAPTER I.—Declension. 22
 New Latin Grammar

Sēquana, Seine; Eurus, east wind; Aprīlis, 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,—

Delphī, n.; Leuctra, n.; Tībur, n.; Carthāgō, f.

3. Indeclinable nouns, also infinitives and phrases, are Neuter; as,—

nihil, nothing; nefās, wrong; amāre, 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,
sacerdōs may mean either priest or priestess, and is Masculine or Feminine accordingly. So also
cīvis, citizen; parēns, 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, ānser, m., goose or
gander. So vulpēs, f., fox; aquīla, 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

A. NOUNS. 23
 New Latin Grammar
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 ā -ae
Second ŏ -ī
Third ĭ / Some consonant -īs
Fourth ŭ -ūs
Fifth ē -ēī /
-ĕī
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 -ă.

4. In the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Declensions, the Accusative Plural is regularly like the Nominative.

FIRST DECLENSION.

ā-Stems.

20. Pure Latin nouns of the First Declension regularly end, in the Nominative Singular, in -ă, weakened
from -ā, and are of the Feminine Gender. They are declined as follows:—

Porta, gate; stem, portā-.

SINGULAR.
CASES. MEANINGS. TERMINATIONS.
Nom. porta a gate (as subject) -ă
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! -ă

Cases alike in Form. 24

 New Latin Grammar
Abl. portā with, by, from, in a gate -ā

PLURAL.
Nom. portae gates (as subject) -ae
Gen. portārum of gates -ārum
Dat. portīs to or for gates -īs
Acc. portās gates (as object) -ās
Voc. portae O gates! -ae
Abl. portīs with, by, from, in gates -īs
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 -ās is preserved in the combination pater
familiās, father of a family; also in māter familiās, fīlius
familiās, fīlia familiās. But the regular form of the Genitive in -ae is also
admissible in these expressions; as, pater familiae.

b) In poetry a Genitive in -āī also occurs; as, aulāī.

c) The Locative Singular ends in -ae; as, Rōmae, at Rome.

d) A Genitive Plural in -um instead of -ārum sometimes occurs; as, Dardanidum

instead of Dardanidārum. This termination -um is not a contraction of -ārum,
but represents an entirely different case-ending.

e) Instead of the regular ending -īs, we usually find -ābus in the Dative and
Ablative Plural of dea, goddess, and fīlia, daughter, especially when it is important to
distinguish these nouns from the corresponding forms of deus, god, and fīlius, son. A
few other words sometimes have the same peculiarity; as, lībertābus (from
līberta, freedwoman), equābus (mares), to avoid confusion with
lībertīs (from lībertus, freedman) and equīs (from equus,
horse).

Greek Nouns.

22. These end in -ē (Feminine); -ās and -ēs (Masculine). In the Plural they are declined
like regular Latin nouns of the First Declension. In the Singular they are declined as follows:—

Archiās, Epitomē, Comētēs,

Archias. epitome. comet.
Nom. Archiās epitomē comētēs
Gen. Archiae epitomēs comētae

ā-Stems. 25
 New Latin Grammar
Dat. Archiae epitomae comētae
Acc. Archiam (or epitomēn comētēn
-ān)
Voc. Archiā epitomē comētē
(or -ă)
Abl. Archiā epitomē comētē
(or -ā)
1. But most Greek nouns in -ē become regular Latin nouns in -a, and are declined like porta; as,
grammatica, grammar; mūsica, music; rhētorica, rhetoric.

2. Some other peculiarities occur, especially in poetry.

SECOND DECLENSION.

ŏ-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; stem, hortŏ-. Bellum, war; stem, bellŏ-.

SINGULAR.
TERMINATION. TERMINATION.
Nom. hortus -us bellum -um

Dat. puerīs agrīs virīs -īs
Acc. puerōs agrōs virōs -ōs

Abl. puerīs agrīs virīs -īs
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; Līber,
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., slave. Aevom, n., age. Equos, m., horse.
SINGULAR.
Nom. servos aevom equos
Gen. servī aevī equī

 New Latin Grammar
Voc. serve aevum eque
Abl. servō aevō equō
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 -ī (instead of -iī), and the
Vocative Singular in -ī (for -ie); as Vergílī, of Virgil, or O Virgil (instead of Vergiliī,
Vergilie). In such words the accent stands upon the penult, even though that be short. Nouns in -ajus, -ejus
form the Gen. in -aī, -eī, as Pompejus, Pompeī.

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 -iī); as,—

Nom. ingenium fīlius

Gen. ingénī fīlī
These Genitives accent the penult, even when it is short.

3. Fīlius forms the Vocative Singular in -ī (for -ie); viz. fīlī, O son!

4. Deus, god, lacks the Vocative Singular. The Plural is inflected as follows:—

Nom. dī (deī)

Gen. deōrum (deum)
Dat. dīs (deīs)
Acc. deōs
Voc. dī (deī)
Abl. dīs (deīs)
5. The Locative Singular ends in -ī; as, Corinthī, at Corinth.

6. The Genitive Plural has -um, instead of -ōrum,—

a) in words denoting money and measure; as, talentum, of talents; modium, of pecks;
sēstertium, of sesterces.

b) in duumvir, triumvir, decemvir; as, duumvirum.

c) sometimes in other words; as, līberum, 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 § 15, 2;
also some names of countries; as Aegyptus, Egypt.

b) Five special words,—

Nouns in -vus, -vum, -quus. 28

 New Latin Grammar
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;

vīrus, poison;

vulgus, crowd.

Greek Nouns of the Second Declension.

27. These end in -os, -ōs, Masculine or Feminine; and -on, Neuter. They are mainly proper names, and
are declined as follows:—

Barbitos, m. and Androgeōs, Īlion, n.,

f., lyre. m., Androgeos. Troy.
Nom. barbitos Androgeōs Īlion
Gen. barbitī Androgeō, Īliī
-ī
Dat. barbitō Androgeō Īliō
Acc. barbiton Androgeō, Īlion
-ōn
Voc. barbite Androgeōs Īlion
Abl. barbitō Androgeō Īliō
1. Nouns in -os sometimes form the Accusative Singular in -um instead of -on; as, Dēlum, 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.

Exceptions to Gender in the Second Declension. 29

 New Latin Grammar
28. Nouns of the Third Declension end in -a, -e, -ī, -ō, -y, -c, -l, -n, -r, -s, -t, -x. The Third
Declension includes several distinct classes of Stems,—

I. Pure Consonant-Stems.
II. ĭ-Stems.
III. Consonant-Stems which have partially adapted themselves to the inflection of ĭ-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, prīncep-s.

2. In a Guttural (g or c); as, rēmex (rēmeg-s); dux (duc-s).

3. In a Dental (d or t); as, lapis (lapid-s); mīles (mīlet-s).

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 honōs, colōs, etc., also occur, particularly in early Latin and in poetry.

I. Consonant-Stems. 32
 New Latin Grammar

II. ĭ-Stems.

A. Masculine and Feminine ĭ-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 -ī, and the Accusative Plural
in -īs; but these endings have been largely displaced by -em, -e, and -ēs, the endings of
Consonant-Stems.

1. To the same class belong—

apis, bee. crātis, hurdle. †*secūris, axe.

auris, ear. *febris, fever. sēmentis, sowing.
avis, bird. orbis, circle. †*sitis, thirst.
axis, axle. ovis, sheep. torris, brand.
*būris, plough-beam. pelvis, basin. †*turris, tower.
clāvis, 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.
-ī. Of the others, many at times show -im and -ī. Town and river names in -is regularly have
-im, -ī.

II. ĭ-Stems. 33
 New Latin Grammar
2. Not all nouns in -is are ĭ-Stems. Some are genuine consonant-stems, and have the regular consonant
terminations throughout, notably, canis, dog; juvenis, youth.[14]

3. Some genuine ĭ-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; dōs, dowry; nox, night; sors, lot; mēns,
mind; ars, art; gēns, tribe; and some others.

B. Neuter ĭ-Stems.

39. These end in the Nominative Singular in -e, -al, and -ar. They always have -ī 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 ĭ-Stems.

Sedile, seat; Animal, animal; Calcar, spur;

stem, sedīli-. stem, animāli-. stem, calcāri-.

SINGULAR. TERMINATION.
Nom. sedīle animal calcar -e or wanting

Acc. sedīlia animālia calcāria -ia
Voc. sedīlia animālia calcāria -ia
Abl. sedīlibus animālibus calcāribus -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, Sōracte, Mt. Soracte; so also sometimes
mare, sea.

III. Consonant-Stems that have partially adapted themselves to the Inflection

of ĭ-Stems.

40. Many Consonant-Stems have so far adapted themselves to the inflection of ĭ-stems as to take -ium
in the Genitive Plural, and -īs 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 -ī in the Ablative
Singular. The following words are examples of this class:—

Caedēs, f., Arx, f., citadel; Linter, f., skiff;

slaughter; stem, arc-. stem, lintr-.

III. Consonant-Stems that have partially adapted themselves to the Inflection of ĭ-Stems. 34

1. The following classes of nouns belong here:—

a) Nouns in -ēs, with Genitive in -is; as, nūbēs, aedēs,

clādēs, etc.

b) Many monosyllables in -s or -x preceded by one or more consonants; as, urbs,

mōns, stirps, lanx.

c) Most nouns in -ns and -rs as, cliēns, cohors.

d) Ūter, venter; fūr, līs, mās, mūs, nix; and the Plurals
faucēs, penātēs, Optimātēs, Samnitēs,
Quirītēs.

e) Sometimes nouns in -tās with Genitive -tātis; as, cīvitās,

aetās. Cīvitās usually has cīvitātium.

IV. Stems in -ī, -ū, and Diphthongs.

41.

Vis, f., force; Sūs, c., swine; Bōs, c., ox, cow; Juppiter, m., Jupiter;

1. Notice that the oblique cases of sūs have ŭ in the root syllable.

2. Grūs is declined like sūs, 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-ī, etc.

Nāvis was originally a diphthong stem ending in au-, but it has passed over to the ĭ-stems (§
37). Its ablative often ends in -ī.

V. Irregular Nouns.

1. Iter, itineris, n., way, is inflected regularly throughout from the stem itiner-.

V. Irregular Nouns. 36
 New Latin Grammar
2. Supellex, supellectilis, f., furniture, is confined to the Singular. The oblique cases are formed from the
stem supellectil-. The ablative has both -ī 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 -ō, -or, -ōs, -er, -ĕs are Masculine.

2. Nouns in -ās, -ēs, -is, -ys, -x, -s (preceded by a consonant); -dō, -gō (Genitive

Greek Nouns of the Third Declension.

47. The following are the chief peculiarities of these:—

1. The ending -ă in the Accusative Singular; as, aetheră, aether; Salamīnă,
Salamis.

2. The ending -ĕs in the Nominative Plural; as, Phrygĕs, Phrygians.

3. The ending -ăs in the Accusative Plural; as, Phrygăs, Phrygians.

4. Proper names in -ās (Genitive -antis) have -ā in the Vocative Singular; as, Atlās
(Atlantis), Vocative Atlā, Atlas.

5. Neuters in -ma (Genitive -matis) have -īs instead of -ibus in the Dative and Ablative Plural; as,
poēmatīs, 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, Orpheī, Orpheō, etc.

7. Proper names in -ēs, like Periclēs, form the Genitive Singular sometimes in -is, sometimes in
-ī, as, Periclis or Periclī.

8. Feminine proper names in -ō have -ūs in the Genitive, but -ō in the other oblique cases;
as,—

Nom. Didō Acc. Didō

Gen. Didūs Voc. Didō
Dat. Didō Abl. Didō
9. The regular Latin endings often occur in Greek nouns.

FOURTH DECLENSION.

ŭ-Stems.

48. Nouns of the Fourth Declension end in -us Masculine, and -ū Neuter. They are declined as
follows:—

Frūctus, m., fruit. Cornū, n., horn.

SINGULAR. PLURAL. SINGULAR. PLURAL.

Acc. frūctum frūctūs cornū cornua
Voc. frūctus frūctūs cornū cornua
Abl. frūctū frūctibus cornū cornibus
Peculiarities of Nouns of the Fourth Declension.

49. 1. Nouns in -us, particularly in early Latin, often form the Genitive Singular in -ī, following the
analogy of nouns in -us of the Second Declension; as, senātī, ōrnātī. This
is usually the case in Plautus and Terence.

2. Nouns in -us sometimes have -ū in the Dative Singular, instead of -uī; as, frūctū
(for frūctuī).

3. The ending -ubus, instead of -ibus, occurs in the Dative and Ablative Plural of artūs (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:—

domī (locative), at home;

domō, from home;

domum, homewards, to one's home;

domōs, homewards, to their (etc.) homes

5. The only Neuters of this declension in common use are: cornū, horn; genū, knee; and
verū, 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; Īdūs (Plural), Ides; also names of trees (§ 15, 2).

Acc. diem diēs rem rēs
Voc. diēs diēs rēs rēs
Abl. diē diēbus rē rēbus
Peculiarities of Nouns of the Fifth Declension.

52. 1. The ending of the Genitive and Dative Singular is -ĕī, instead of -ēī, when a
consonant precedes; as, spĕī, rĕī, fidĕī.

2. A Genitive ending -ī (for -ĕī) is found in plēbī (from

plēbēs = plēbs) in the expressions tribūnus plēbī, tribune of the
people, and plēbī scītum, decree of the people; sometimes also in other words.

3. A Genitive and Dative form in -ē sometimes occurs; as, aciē.

4. With the exception of diēs and rēs, most nouns of the Fifth Declension are not declined in the
Plural. But aciēs, seriēs, speciēs, spēs, 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 diēs, day, and
merīdiēs, mid-day. But diēs 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, Cicerō, Cicero; Italia, Italy.

2. Nouns denoting material; as, aes, copper; lac, milk.

3. Abstract nouns; as, ignōrantia, ignorance; bonitās, goodness.

ē-Stems. 41
 New Latin Grammar

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,

Cicerōnēs, the Ciceros; Catōnēs, 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, ignōrantiae, cases of

ignorance.

Nouns used in the Plural only.

56. Here belong—

1. Many geographical names; as, Thēbae, Thebes; Leuctra, Leuctra; Pompejī, Pompeii.

2. Many names of festivals; as, Megalēsia, the Megalesian festival.

3. Many special words, of which the following are the most important:—

angustiae, narrow pass. mānēs, spirits of the dead.

arma, weapons. moenia, city walls.
dēliciae, delight. minae, threats.
dīvitiae, riches. nūptiae, marriage.
Īdūs, Ides. posterī, descendants.

majōrēs, ancestors. verbera, blows.
Also in classical prose regularly—

cervīcēs, neck. nārēs, nose.

fidēs, lyre. vīscerā, 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, jussū, by the order; injussū, without the order; nātū, 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. Nēmō, no one (Nom.), has also the Dat. nēminī and the
Acc. nēminem. The Gen. and Abl. are supplied by the corresponding cases of nūllus; viz.
nūllīus and nūllō.

4. Impetus has the Nom., Acc., and Abl. Sing., and the Nom. and Acc. Plu.; viz. impetus, impetum,
impetū, impetūs.

Nouns used in the Singular only. 42

 New Latin Grammar

5.

a. Precī, precem, prece, lacks the Nom. and Gen. Sing.

b. Vicis, vicem, vice, lacks the Nom. and Dat. Sing.

6. Opis, dapis, and frūgis,—all lack the Nom. Sing.

7. Many monosyllables of the Third Declension lack the Gen. Plu.: as, cor, lūx, sōl, aes,
ōs (ōris), rūs, sāl, tūs.

Indeclinable Nouns.

58. Here belong—

fās, n., right. nefās, n., impiety.

īnstar, n., likeness. nihil, n., nothing.
māne, n., morning. secus, n., sex.
1. With the exception of māne (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,—

vās, vāsis (vessel); Plu., vāsa, vāsorōum, vāsīs, etc.

jūgerum, jūgerī Plu., jūgera, jūgerum, jūgeribus, etc.
(acre);
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, māteriēs, māteriem, material, as well as māteria,
māteriam.

b) Famēs, hunger, regularly of the Third Declension, has the Abl. famē of the
Fifth.

c) Requiēs, requiētis, rest, regularly of the Third Declension, takes an Acc. of

the Fifth, requiem, in addition to requiētem.

d) Besides plēbs, plēbis, common people, of the Third Declension, we find

plēbēs, plēbĕī (also plēbī, see § 52, 2), of the
Fifth.

Nouns used only in Certain Cases. 43

 New Latin Grammar

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.
frēnum, n., bridle; frēnī, m.(rarely frēna, n.), bridle.

locus, m., place; loca, n., places; locī, m., passages or topics in an author.
rāstrum, n., rake; rāstrī, m.; rāstra, 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.

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.

Gen. bonōrum bonārum bonōrum
Dat. bonīs bonīs bonīs
Acc. bonōs bonās bona
Voc. bonī bonae bona
Abl. bonīs bonīs bonīs
1. The Gen. Sing. Masc. and Neut. of Adjectives in -ius ends in -iī (not in -ī as in case of
Nouns; see § 25, 1; 2). So also the Voc. Sing. of such Adjectives ends in -ie, not in ī. Thus eximius
forms Gen. eximiī; Voc. eximie.

2. Distributives (see § 78, 1, c) regularly form the Gen. Plu. Masc. and Neut. in -um instead of -ōrum
(compare § 25, 6); as, dēnum centēnum; but always singulōrum.

64. Masculine like puer:—

Tener, tender.

rough; lacer, torn; līber, free; miser, wretched; prōsper, prosperous; compounds in -fer and
-ger; sometimes dexter, right.

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 § 70, 1, all
Adjectives of the Third Declension follow the inflection of ĭ-stems; i.e. they have the
Ablative Singular in -ī, the Genitive Plural in -ium, the Accusative Plural in -īs
(as well as -ēs) in the Masculine and Feminine, and the Nominative and Accusative
Plural in -ia in Neuters.

palūster, marshy; pedester, pedestrian; puter, rotten; salūber, 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 salūbris, 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.

Abl. veteribus veteribus plūribus plūribus
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 -ēs
only. In the same way are declined compos, controlling; dīves, rich; particeps, sharing; pauper,
poor; prīnceps, chief; sōspes, safe; superstes, surviving. Yet dīves always has Neut. Plu.
dītia.

2. Inops, needy, and memor, mindful, have Ablative Singular inopī, memorī, but Genitive
Plural inopum, memorum.

3. Participles in -āns and -ēns follow the declension of ī-stems. But they do not have
-ī the Ablative, except when employed as adjectives; when used as participles or as substantives, they
have -e; as,—

ā sapientī virō, by a wise man; but

ā sapiente, by a philosopher.

Tarquiniō rēgnante, under the reign of Tarquin.

4. Plūs, in the Singular, is always a noun.

5. In the Ablative Singular, adjectives, when used as substantives,—

a) usually retain the adjective declension; as,—

aequālis, contemporary, Abl. aequālī.

cōnsulāris, ex-consul, Abl. cōnsulārī

So names of Months; as, Aprīlī, April; Decembrī, December.

b) But adjectives used as proper names have -e in the Ablative Singular; as, Celere, Celer;
Juvenāle, Juvenal.

c) Patrials in -ās, -ātis and -īs, -ītis, when designating places

regularly have -ī; as, in Arpīnātī, on the estate at Arpinum, yet
-e, when used of persons; as, ab Arpīnāte, by an Arpinatian.

Adjectives of One Termination. 50

 New Latin Grammar

6. A very few indeclinable adjectives occur, the chief of which are frūgī, frugal;
nēquam, 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.
fēlīx, fortunate, fēlīcior, fēlīcissimus.
So also Participles, when used as Adjectives; as,—

doctus, learned, doctior, doctissimus.

egēns, 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.
ācer, sharp, ācrior, ācerrimus.
celer, swift, celerior, celerrimus.
a. Notice mātūrus, mātūrior, mātūrissimus or
mātūrrimus.

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
-dīcēns, -ficēns, -volēns. Thus:—

maledicus, slanderous, maledīcentior, maledīcentissimus.

magnificus, magnificent, magnificentior, magnificentissimus.
benevolus, kindly, benevolentior, benevolentissimus.

Adjectives of One Termination. 51

 New Latin Grammar
a. Positives in -dīcēns and -volēns occur in early Latin; as
maledīcēns, benevolēns.

6. Dīves has the Comparative dīvitior or dītior; Superlative dīvitissimus or

dītissimus.

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, plūs, plūrimus,
frūgī, thrifty, frūgālior, frūgālissimus,
nēquam, worthless, nēquior, nēquissimus.
Defective Comparison.

73. 1. Positive lacking entirely,—

(Cf. prae, in front of.) prior, former, prīmus, first

(Cf. citrā, this side of.) citerior, on this side, citimus, near.
(Cf. ultrā, beyond.) ulterior, farther, ultimus, farthest.
(Cf. intrā, within.) interior, inner, intimus, inmost
(Cf. prope, near.) propior, nearer, proximus, nearest.
(Cf. dē, down.) dēterior, inferior, dēterrimus, worst.
(Cf. archaic potis, possible.) potior, preferable, potissimus, chiefest
2. Positive occurring only in special cases,—

posterō diē, posterior, later, postrēmus, latest, last.

annō, etc. the following day, postumus, late-born, posthumous.
etc.,
posterī, descendants,
exteri, foreigners, exterior, outer extrēmus, extimus,
nātiōnēs outermost.
exterae, foreign nations,
inferī, gods of the lower īnferior, lower, īnfimus, īmus,
world, lowest.
Mare Inferum, Mediterranean Sea,
superī, gods above, superior, higher, suprēmus, last.
Mare Superum, Adriatic Sea, summus, highest.
3. Comparative lacking.

vetus, old, ——[17] veterrimus.

fīdus, faithful, —— fīdissimus.

Irregular Comparison. 52
 New Latin Grammar

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, ——

ingēns, great, ingentior, ——
salūtāris, wholesome, salūtārior, ——
juvenis, young, jūnior, ——[20]
senex, old, senior. ——[21]
a. The Superlative is lacking also in many adjectives in -ālis, -īlis, -ĭlis,
-bilis, and in a few others.

Comparison by Magis and Maximē.

74. Many adjectives do not admit terminational comparison, but form the Comparative and Superlative
degrees by prefixing magis (more) and maximē (most). Here belong—

1. Many adjectives ending in -ālis, -āris, -idus, -īlis, -icus, imus, īnus,
-ōrus.

2. Adjectives in -us, preceded by a vowel; as, idōneus, adapted; arduus, steep; necessārius,
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; mortālis, mortal.

2. Some special words; as, mīrus, gnārus, 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
-ī of the Genitive Singular to -ē; those derived from adjectives of the Third Declension, by
changing -is of the Genitive Singular to -iter; as,—

Defective Comparison. 53
 New Latin Grammar
cārus, cārē, dearly;
pulcher, pulchrē, beautifully;
ācer, ācriter, fiercely;
levis, leviter, lightly.
a. But Adjectives in -ns, and a few others, add -er (instead of -iter), to form the Adverb;
as,—

sapiēns, sapienter, wisely;

sollers, sollerter, skillfully.
Note audāx, audācter, 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 -ī of the Genitive
Singular of the Superlative of the Adjective to -ē. Thus—

(cārus) cārē,
cārius, cārissimē.
dearly,
(pulcher) pulchrē, pulchrius, pulcherrimē.
beautifully,
(ācer) ācriter, ācrius, ācerrimē.
fiercely,
(levis) leviter, levius, levissimē.
lightly,
(sapiēns) sapienter, sapientius, sapientissimē.
wisely,
(audāx) audācter,audācius, audācissimē.
boldly,

Adjectives not admitting Comparison. 54

 New Latin Grammar

—— prius, previously, before, prīmum, first.

secus, otherwise, sētius, less.
2. A number of adjectives of the First and Second Declensions form an Adverb in -ō, instead of
-ē; as,—

crēbrō, falsō, falsely;

frequently;
continuō, subitō, suddenly;
immediately;
rārō, rarely, and a few
others.
a. cito, quickly, has -ŏ.

3. A few adjectives employ the Accusative Singular Neuter as the Positive of the Adverb; as,—

multum, much; paulum, little; facile, easily.

4. A few adjectives of the First and Second Declensions form the Positive in -iter; as,—

fīrmus, fīrmiter, firmly; hūmānus, hūmāniter,

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,
antīquitus, anciently; paulātim, gradually.

NUMERALS.

78. Numerals may be divided into—

I. Numeral Adjectives, comprising—

a. Cardinals; as, ūnus, one; duo, two; etc.

b. Ordinals; as, prīmus, first; secundus, second; etc.

c. Distributives; as, singulī, one by one; bīnī, two by two; etc.

Declension of the Cardinals.

80. 1. The declension of ūnus has already been given under § 66.

2. Duo is declined as follows:—

Nom. duo duae duo

Gen. duōrum duārum duōrum
Dat. duōbus duābus duōbus
Acc. duōs, duo duās duo
Abl. duōbus duābus duōbus
a. So ambō, both, except that its final o is long.

3. Trēs is declined,—

Nom. trēs tria

Gen. trium trium
Dat. tribus tribus
Acc. trēs tria
(trīs)
Abl. tribus tribus
4. The hundreds (except centum) are declined like the Plural of bonus.

5. Mīlle is regularly an adjective in the Singular, and indeclinable. In the Plural it is a substantive
(followed by the Genitive of the objects enumerated; § 201, 1), and is declined,—

Nom. mīlia Acc. mīlia

Gen. mīlium Voc. mīlia
Dat. mīlibus Abl. mīlibus
Thus mīlle hominēs, a thousand men; but duo mīlia hominum, two thousand men,
literally two thousands of men.

a. Occasionally the Singular admits the Genitive construction; as, mīlle hominum.

6. Other Cardinals are indeclinable. Ordinals and Distributives are declined like Adjectives of the First and
Second Declensions.

 New Latin Grammar

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:—

trīgintā sex or sex et trīgintā, thirty-six.

2. The numerals under 90, ending in 8 and 9, are often expressed by subtraction; as,—

duodēvīgintī, eighteen (but also octōdecim);

ūndēquadrāgintā, thirty-nine (but also trīgintā

novem or novem et trīgintā).

3. Compounds over 100 regularly have the largest number first; the others follow without et; as,—

centum vīgintī septem, one hundred and twenty-seven.

annō octingentēsimō octōgēsimō secundō, 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 quadrāgintā, one hundred and forty.

4. The Distributives are used—

a) To denote so much each, so many apiece; as,—

bīna talenta eīs 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,—

bīnae litterae, two epistles.

But in such cases, ūnī (not singulī) is regularly employed for one, and
trīnī (not ternī) for three; as,—

ūnae litterae, one epistle; trīnae litterae, three epistles.

c) In multiplication; as,—

bis bīna sunt quattuor, twice two are four.

d) Often in poetry, instead of the cardinals; as,—

bīna hastīlia, 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 tū, thou is, he; ea, she; id, it
Gen. meī tuī (For declension see § 87.)
Dat. mihi[22] tibi[22]

1. A Dative Singular mī occurs in poetry.

2. Emphatic forms in -met are occasionally found; as, egomet, I myself; tibimet, to you yourself; tū has
tūte and tūtemet (written also tūtimet).

3. In early Latin, mēd and tēd 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:—

C. PRONOUNS. 59
 New Latin Grammar
First Person. Second Person. Third Person.
Supplied by oblique cases of Supplied by oblique cases of
ego. tū.
Gen. meī, of myself tuī, of thyself suī
Dat. mihi, to myself tibi, to thyself sibi[22]
Acc. mē, myself tē, thyself sē or sēsē
Voc. —— —— ——
Abl. mē, with myself, etc. tē, with thyself, etc. sē or sēsē
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 sē pugnant, they fight with each other.

3. In early Latin, sēd 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, our; vester, vestra, vestrum, your;

Third Person.
suus, -a, -um, his, her, its, their.
1. Suus is exclusively Reflexive; as,—

pater līberōs suōs 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, eōrum, eārum.

2. The Vocative Singular Masculine of meus is mī.

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 suō, suā; as, suōpte, suāpte.

IV. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS.

87. These point out an object as here or there, or as previously mentioned. They are—

hīc, this (where I am);

C. PRONOUNS. 60
 New Latin Grammar
iste, that (where you are);

ille, that (something distinct from the speaker);

is, that (weaker than ille);

īdem, the same.

Hīc, iste, and ille are accordingly the Demonstratives of the First, Second, and Third Persons
respectively.

Hīc, this.

VII. INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS.

90. The Interrogative Pronouns are quis, who? (substantive) and quī, what? what kind of? (adjective).

1. Quis, who?

SINGULAR. PLURAL.
MASC. AND FEM. NEUTER

C. PRONOUNS. 62
 New Latin Grammar
Nom. quis quid The rare Plural
Gen. cūjus cūjus follows the declension
Dat. cui cui of the Relative Pronoun.
Acc. quem quid
Abl. quō quō
2. Quī, what? what kind of? is declined precisely like the Relative Pronoun; viz. quī, quae,
quod, etc.

a. An old Ablative quī occurs, in the sense of how? why?

b. Quī is sometimes used for quis in Indirect Questions.

c. Quis, when limiting words denoting persons, is sometimes an adjective. But in such cases
quis homō = what man? whereas quī homō = what sort of man?

d. Quis and quī may be strengthened by adding -nam. Thus:—

Substantive: quisnam, who, pray? quidnam, what, pray?

Adjective: quīnam, 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, quī, quae, qua, quod,

1. In the Indefinite Pronouns, only the pronominal part is declined. Thus: Genitive Singular alicūjus,
cūjuslibet, etc.

C. PRONOUNS. 63
 New Latin Grammar

2. Note that aliquī has aliqua in the Nominative Singular Feminine, also in the Nominative and
Accusative Plural Neuter. Quī has both qua and quae in these same cases.

3. Quīdam forms Accusative Singular quendam, quandam; Genitive Plural quōrundam,

quārundam; the m being assimilated to n before d.

4. Aliquis may be used adjectively, and (occasionally) aliquī substantively.

5. In combination with nē, sī, nisi, num, either quis or quī may stand as a Substantive.
Thus: sī quis or sī quī.

6. Ecquis, any one, though strictly an Indefinite, generally has interrogative force. It has both substantive and
adjective forms,—substantive, ecquis, ecquid; adjective, ecquī, ecquae and ecqua, ecquod.

7. Quisquam is not used in the Plural.

8. There are two Indefinite Relatives,—quīcumque and quisquis, whoever. Quīcumque

declines only the first part; quisquis declines both but has only quisquis, quidquid, quōquō, 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.);
ūnus, one; nūllus, 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;

utervīs, utravīs, utrumvīs, 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 utrīus, etc.

C. PRONOUNS. 64

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. -ō; -m; -ī (Perf. Ind.); -r.
2. -s; -stī (Perf Ind.); -rīs, -re;
-tō or wanting (Impv.); -re, -tor (Impv.).
3. -t; -tō (Impv.); -tur; -tor (Impv.).
Plu. 1. -mus; -mur.
2. -tis; -stis (Perf. Ind.); -minī.
-te, -tōte (Impv.);
3. -nt; -ērunt (Perf Ind.); -ntur; -ntor (Impv.).
-ntō (Impv.);
VERB STEMS.

97. Conjugation consists in appending certain endings to the Stem. We distinguish three different stems in a
fully inflected verb,—

CHAPTER II.—Conjugation. 65
 New Latin Grammar

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. -āre ā
II. -ēre ē
III. -ĕre ĕ
IV. -īre ī

CHAPTER II.—Conjugation. 66
 New Latin Grammar
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.

SEMI-DEPONENTS.

114. 1. 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—

CHAPTER II.—Conjugation. 88
 New Latin Grammar
audeō, audēre, ausus sum, to dare.
gaudeō, gaudēre, gāvīsus sum,
to rejoice.
soleō, solēre, solitus sum, to be wont.
fīdō, fīdere, fīsus sum, to trust.
2. The following verbs have a Perfect Passive Participle with Active meaning:—

adolēscō, grow up; adultus, having grown up,

cēnāre, dine; cēnātus, having dined.
placēre, please; placitus, having pleased, agreeable.
prandēre, lunch; prānsus, having lunched.
pōtāre, drink; pōtus, having drunk.
jūrāre, swear; jūrātus, having sworn.
a. Jūrātus is used in a passive sense also.

3. Revertor and dēvertor both regularly form their Perfect in the Active Voice; viz.—

revertor, revertī (Inf.), revertī (Perf.), to return.

dēvertor, dēvertī dēvertī (Perf.), to turn aside.
(Inf.),

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. amātūrus (-a, -um) sum, I am about to love.
Inf. amātūrus eram, I was about to love.
Fut. amātūrus erō, I shall be about to love.

Plup. amātūrus fueram, I had been about to love.
Fut. P. amātūrus fuerō, I shall have been about to love.

SUBJUNCTIVE.
Pres. amātūrus sim, may I be about to love.
Imp. amātūrus essem, I should be about to love.
Perf. amātūrus fuerim, I may have been about to love.
Plup. amātūrus fuissem, I should have been about to love.

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 -āvī, -ēvī, and -īvī, with the forms derived from
them, often drop the ve or vi before endings beginning with r or s. So also nōvī (from
nōscō) and the compounds of mōvī (from moveō). Thus:—

amāvistī amāstī dēlēvistī dēlēstī

amāvisse amāsse dēlēvisse dēlēsse
amāvērunt amārunt dēlēvērunt dēlērunt
amāverim amārim dēlēverim dēlērim
amāveram amāram dēlēveram dēlēram
amāverō amārō dēlēverō dēlērō
nōvistī nōstī nōverim nōrim
nōvisse nōsse nōveram nōram
audīvistī audīstī audīvisse audīsse
2. In the Gerund and Gerundive of the Third and Fourth Conjugations, the endings -undus, -undī,
often occur instead of -endus and -endī, as faciundus, faciundī.

3. Dīcō, dūcō, faciō, form the Imperatives, dīc, dūc, fac. But
compounds of faciō form the Imperative in -fice, as cōnfice. Compounds of dīcō,
dūcō, accent the ultima; as, ēdū´c, ēdī´c.

CHAPTER II.—Conjugation. 90
 New Latin Grammar

4. Archaic and Poetic forms:—

a. The ending -ier in the Present Infinitive Passive; as, amārier, monērier,
dīcier, for amārī, monērī, dīcī.

b. The ending -ībam for -iēbam in Imperfects of the Fourth Conjugation, and
-ībō for -iam in Futures; as, scībam, scībō, for
sciēbam, sciam.

c. Instead of the fuller forms, in such words as dīxistī, scrīpsistis,

surrēxisse, we sometimes find dīxtī, scrīpstis, surrēxe,
etc.

d. The endings -im, -īs, etc. (for -am, -ās, 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,
āctūrum for ācturum esse; ējectus for ējectus 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, dīcere, amāre,
monēre, audīre. Others modify the Verb Stem to form the Present, as follows:—

1. By appending the vowels, ā, ē, ī; as,—

Present Stem Verb Stem

juvāre, juvā- juv-.
augēre, augē- aug-.
vincīre, vincī- vinc-.
2. By adding i, as capiō, 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, fundō
(Stem fud-), rumpō (Stem rup-).

4. By appending -n to the Verb Stem; as,—

cern-ō pell-ō (for pel-nō).

5. By appending t to the Verb Stem; as,—

flect-ō.
6. By appending sc to the Verb Stem; as,—

crēsc-ō. scīsc-ō.
7. By Reduplication, that is, by prefixing the initial consonant of the Verb Stem with i; as,—

Formation of the Present Stem. 91

 New Latin Grammar

gi-gn-ō (root gen-), si-st-ō (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,—

amāv-ī, dēlēv-ī, audīv-ī.

2. By adding u (in case of some Consonant Stems); as,—

strepu-ī, genu-ī, alu-ī.

3. By adding s (in case of most Consonant Stems); as,—

carp-ō, Perfect carps-ī.

scrīb-ō, " scrīps-ī
(for
scrīb-sī).
rīd-eō, " rīs-ī (for
rīd-sī).
sent-iō, " sēns-ī (for
sent-sī).
dīc-ō, " dīx-ī (i.e.
dīc-sī).
a. Note that before the ending -sī 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,—

currō, Perfect cu-currī.

poscō, " po-poscī.
pellō, " pe-pulī.
NOTE 1.—Compounds, with the exception of dō, stō, sistō, discō,
poscō, omit the reduplication. Thus: com-pulī, but re-poposcī.

NOTE 2.—Verbs beginning with sp or st retain both consonants in the reduplication, but drop s from
the stem; as, spondeō, spo-pondī; stō, stetī.

b) The short vowel of the Verb Stem is lengthened; as, legō, lēgī;
agō, ēgī. Note that ă by this process becomes ē.

c) The vowel of the Verb Stem is unchanged; as, vertō, vertī; minuō,
minuī.

Formation of the Perfect Stem. 92

 New Latin Grammar

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,—

amā-re, Participle amā-tus.

dēlē-re, " dēlē-tus,
audī-re, " audī-tus,
leg-ere, " lēc-tus,
scrīb-ere, " scrīp-tus,
sentī-re, " sēn-sus (for
sent-tus).
caed-ere, " cae-sus (for caed-tus).
a. Note that g, before t, becomes c (see § 8, 5); b becomes p; while dt or tt becomes ss, which
is then often simplified to s (§ 8, 2).

2. After the analogy of Participles like sēnsus and caesus, where -sus arises by phonetic change, -sus
for -tus is added to other Verb Stems; as,—

lāb-ī, Participle lāp-sus.

fīg-ere, " fī-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 § 118, 3, a).

3. A few Verbs form the Participle in -ĭtus; as,—

domā-re, dom-ĭtus.
monē-re, mon-ĭtus.
4. The Future Active Participle is usually identical in its stem with the Perfect Passive Participle; as,
amā-tus, amātūrus; moni-tus, monitūrus. But—

juvā-re, Perf. Partic. jūtus, has Fut. Act. Partic. juvātūrus.[40]

lavā-re, " lautus, " lavātūrus.
par-ere, " partus, " paritūrus.
ru-ere, " rutus, " ruitūrus.
secă-re, " sectus, " secātūrus.
fru-ĭ, " frūctus, " fruitūrus.
mor-ī, " mortuus, " moritūrus.
orī-rī, " ortus, " oritūrus.

IRREGULAR VERBS.

124. A number of Verbs are called Irregular. The most important are sum, dō, edō, ferō,
volō, nōlō, mālō, eō, fīō. 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-ō), 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 āfuī am absent

Pres. Partic. absēns (absentis), absent.
adsum adesse adfuī am present

obsum obesse obfuī hinder
prōsum prōdesse prōfuī am of advantage
subsum subesse subfuī am underneath
supersum superesse superfuī am left
NOTE.—Prōsum is compounded of prōd (earlier form of prō) and sum; the d
disappears before consonants, as prōsumus; but prōdestis.

from an obsolete potēre.

DEFECTIVE VERBS.

Defective Verbs lack certain forms. The following are the most important:—

133. USED MAINLY IN THE PERFECT SYSTEM.

Coepī, Meminī, Ōdī,

I have begun. I remember. I hate.

INDICATIVE MOOD.
Perf. coepī. meminī. ōdī.
Plup. coeperam. memineram. ōderam.
Fut. P. coeperō. meminerō. ōderō.

SUBJUNCTIVE.
Perf. coeperim. meminerim. ōderim.
Pluf. coepissem. meminissem. ōdissem.

IMPERATIVE.
Sing. mementō; Plur. mementōte.

INFINITIVE.

Fourth Conjugation. 113

 New Latin Grammar
PARTICIPLE.
Perf. coeptus, begun. ōsus.
Fut. coeptūrus. ōsūrus.
1. When coepī governs a Passive Infinitive it usually takes the form coeptus est; as,
amārī coeptus est, he began to be loved.

2. Note that meminī and ōdī, 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;
ōderō, I shall hate.

134. Inquam, I say (inserted between words of a direct quotation)

INDICATIVE MOOD.
SINGULAR. PLURAL.
Pres. inquam, ——

137. OTHER DEFECTIVE FORMS.

1. Queō, quīre, quīvī, to be able, and nequeō, nequīre,

Conjunctions, Interjections.

PART III. 116

 New Latin Grammar

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 (§ 76). The
following TABLE OF CORRELATIVES is important:—

RELATIVE AND DEMONSTRATIVE. INDEFINITE.

INTERROGATIVE.
ubi, where; where? hīc, here. alicubī, ūsquam,
ibi, illīc, istīc, there. ūspiam, somewhere.

adversus, against. ergā, toward. praeter, past.
adversum, toward, against. extrā, outside. prope, near.
ante, before. īnfrā, below. propter, on account of.

cis, this side of. penes, in the hands of. trāns, across.
citrā, this side of. per, through. ultrā, beyond.
pōne, behind. versus, toward.
1. Ūsque is often prefixed to ad, in the sense of even; as,—

ūsque ad urbem, even to the city.

2. Versus always follows its case; as,—

Rōmam versus, toward Rome.

It may be combined with a preceding Preposition; as,—

ADVERBS. 117
 New Latin Grammar

ad urbem versus, toward the city.

3. Like prope, the Comparatives propior, propius, and the Superlatives proximus, proximē,
sometimes govern the Accusative; as,—

Ubiī proximē Rhēnum incolunt, the Ubii dwell next to the Rhine;

propius castra hostium, nearer the camp of the enemy.

142. The following Prepositions govern the Ablative:—

ā, ab, abs, from, by. cum, with. prō, in front of, for.
absque, without. dē, from, concerning. sine, without.
cōram, in the presence of. ē, ex, from out of. tenus, up to.
prae, before.
1. Ā, ab, abs. Before vowels or h, ab must be used; before consonants we find sometimes ā,
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 tē, and ā is admissible even there.

2. Ē, ex. Before vowels or h, ex must be used; before consonants we find sometimes ē,
sometimes ex.

3. Tenus regularly follows its case, as, pectoribus tenus, up to the breast. It sometimes governs the Genitive,
as, labrōrum 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:—

mēcum nōbīscum quōcum or cum

tēcum vōbīscum quō
sēcum quācum or cum
quā
quibuscum or cum quibus
On quīcum, see § 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; contrā, on the other hand, etc.

2. Conversely several words, usually adverbs, are occasionally employed as prepositions; as,—

PREPOSITIONS. 118
 New Latin Grammar

clam, prīdiē, with the Accusative.

procul, simul, palam, with the Ablative.

3. Anástrophe. A Preposition sometimes follows its case. This is called Anástrophe; as,—

eī, quōs 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 Coördinate Conjunctions, see §§ 341 ff. Subordinate
Conjunctions are treated in connection with Subordinate Clauses.

2. Interjections express emotion. Thus:—

1. Surprise; as, ēn, ecce, ō.

2. Joy; as, iō, euoe.

3. Sorrow and Pain; as, heu, ēheu, vae, prō.

4. Calling; as, heus, eho.

 New Latin Grammar

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 scrībit, the boy is writing.

2. INTERROGATIVE, Which ask a question; as,—

quid puer scrībit, what is the boy writing?

3. EXCLAMATORY, which are in the form of an exclamation; as,—

quot librōs scrībit, how many books he writes!

4. IMPERATIVE, which express a command or an admonition; as,—

scrībe, 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, quī, quālis, quantus, quot, quotiēns, quō, quā, etc.
Thus:—

quis venit, who comes? quam dīū manēbit, how long will he stay?

2. Sentence-Questions. These are introduced—

a) By nōnne implying the answer 'yes'; as,—

nōnne vidētis, do you not see?

PART V. 128
 New Latin Grammar

b) By num implying the answer 'no'; as,—

num exspectās, 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,—

vidēsne, do you see?

A question introduced by -ne may receive a special implication from the context; as,—

sēnsistīne, did you not perceive?

d) Sometimes by no special word, particularly in expressions of surprise or indignation;

as,—

tū in jūdicum cōnspectum venīre audēs, 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, annōn (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 dī annōn, are there gods or not?
a. An was not originally confined to double questions, but introduced single questions, having
the force of -ne, nōnne, or num. Traces of this use survive in classical Latin;
as,—

Ā rēbus gerendīs abstrahit senectūs. Quibus? An eīs

quae juventūte geruntur et vīrībus? 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, vērō, sānē, or by

repetition of the verb; as,—

FORM OF INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES. 129

 New Latin Grammar

'vīsne locum mūtēmus?' 'sānē'. 'Shall we change the

place?' 'Certainly.'

'estīsne vōs lēgatī?' 'sumus.' 'Are you envoys?' 'Yes.'

b. The answer NO is expressed by nōn, minimē, minimē

vērō, or by repeating the verb with a negative; as,—

'jam ea praeteriit?' 'nōn.' 'Has it passed?' 'No.'

'estne frāter intus?' 'nōn 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 librōs legit, the boy reads books,
is a Simple Sentence; but puer librōs legit et epistulās scrībit, the boy reads books and
writes letters, is a Compound Sentence. The different members of a Compound Sentence are called Clauses.

165. COÖRDINATE AND SUBORDINATE CLAUSES. Clauses which stand upon an equality are called
COÖRDINATE; a Clause dependent on another is called SUBORDINATE. Thus in puer librōs legit
et epistulās scrībit the two clauses are Coördinate; but in puer librōs legit quōs
pater scrībit, 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 scrībit, the boy writes;

hīc scrībit, this man writes.

SUBJECT AND PREDICATE. 130

 New Latin Grammar

b) An Infinitive; as,—

decōrum est prō patriā morī, to die for one's county is a noble
thing.

c) A Clause; as,—

opportūnē accīdit quod vīdistī, it happened opportunely

that you saw.

2. A Personal Pronoun as Subject is usually implied in the Verb and is not separately expressed; as,—

scrībō, I write; videt, he sees.

a. But for the purpose of emphasis or contrast the Pronoun is expressed; as,—

ego scrībō et tū 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,—

rēctē 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,—

Cicerō ōrātor fuit, Cicero was an orator;

Numa creātus est rēx, Numa was elected king.

1. when possible, the Predicate Noun usually agrees with its Subect in Gender also; as,—

philosophia est vītae magistra, philosophy is the guide of life.

2. Besides sum, the verbs most frequently accompanied by a Predicate Noun are—

a) fiō, ēvādō, exsistō; maneō; videor; as,—

Croesus nōn semper mānsit rēx, Croesus did not always remain king.

b) Passive verbs of making, calling, regarding, etc.; as, creor, appellor, habeor; as,—

Rōmulus rēx appellatus est, Romulus was called king;

habitus est deus, he was regarded as a god.

SUBJECT. 131
 New Latin Grammar

APPOSITIVES.

169. 1. An Appositive is a Noun explaining or defining another Noun denoting the same person or thing;
as,—

Cicerō cōnsul, Cicero, the Consul;

urbs Rōma, the city Rome.

2. An Appositive agrees with its Subject in Case; as,—

opera Cicerōnīs ōrātōris, the works of Cicero, the orator;

apud Hērodotum, patrem historiae, in the works of Herodotus, the father of history.

3. When possible, the Appositive agrees with its Subject in Gender also; as,—

assentātiō adjūtrīx vitiōrum, flattery, the promoter of

evils.

4. A Locative may take in Apposition the Ablative of urbs or oppidum, with or without a preposition;
as,—

Corinthī, Achāiae urbe, or in Achāiae 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,—

mīlitēs, fortissimus quisque, hostibus restitērunt, 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 §§ 166-169.

THE VOCATIVE.

171. The Vocative is the Case of direct address; as,—

crēdite mihi, jūdicēs, believe me, judges.

APPOSITIVES. 132
 New Latin Grammar

1. By a species of attraction, the Nominative is occasionally used for the Vocative, especially in poetry and
formal prose; as, audī tū, populus Albānus, hear ye, Alban people!

2. Similarly the Appositive of a Vocative may, in poetry, stand in the Nominative; as, nāte, mea
magna potentia sōlus, 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,—

cōnsulem interfēcit, he slew the consul;

legō librum, I read the book.

B. The RESULT PRODUCED by the action; as,—

librum scrīpsī, 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,—

rūmor est meum gnātum amāre, 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—

parentēs amāmus, 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, trāns; as,—

hostēs circumstāre, to surround the enemy;

THE CASES. 133

 New Latin Grammar

urbem praeterīre, to pass by the city;

mūrōs trānscendere, to climb over the walls.

2) Less frequently, compounds of ad, per, in, sub; as,—

adīre urbem, to visit the city;

peragrāre Italiam, to travel through Italy;

inīre magistrātum, to take office;

subīre perīculum, to undergo danger.

b) Many Verbs expressing emotions, regularly Intransitive, have also a Transitive use;
as,—

queror fātum, I lament my fate;

doleō ejus mortem, I grieve at his death;

rīdeō tuam stultitiam, I laugh at your folly.

So also lūgeō, maereō, mourn; gemō, bemoan; horreō,

shudder, and others.

c) The impersonals decet, it becomes; dēdecet, it is unbecoming; juvat, it pleases, take

the Accusative of the Person Affected; as,—

mē decet haec dīcere, it becomes me to say this.

d) In poetry many Passive Verbs, in imitation of Greek usage, are employed as Middles (§
256, 1; 2), and take the Accusative as Object; as,—

galeam induitur, he puts on his helmet;

cīnctus tempora hederā, having bound his temples with ivy;

nōdō sinus collēcta, 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 scrībō, I write a book;

domum aedificō, I build a house.

2. Many Verbs usually Intransitive take a Neuter Pronoun, or Adjective, as an Accusative of Result.
Thus:—

Accusative of the Person or Thing Affected. 134

 New Latin Grammar

a) A Neuter Pronoun; as,—

haec gemēbat, he made these moans;

idem glōriārī, 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 egeō, 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 vāna, making vain threats;

acerba tuēns, 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 vēnātiōne, they are much engaged in hunting.

a. So also plūrimum, very greatly; plērumque, 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 servitūtem serviat, let him serve an everlasting slavery;

vītam dūram vīxī, 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;

Accusative of the Result Produced. 135

 New Latin Grammar

ōrātiōnēs antīquitātem 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,—

mē hērēdem fēcit, he made me heir.

Here mē is Direct Object, hērēdēm Predicate Accusative. So also—

eum jūdicem cēpēre, they took him as judge;

urbem Rōmam vocāvit, he called the city Rome;

sē virum praestitit, he showed himself a man.

2. The Predicate Accusative may be an Adjective as well as a Noun; as,—

hominēs caecōs reddit cupiditās, covetousness renders men blind;

Apollō Sōcratem sapientissimum jūdicāvit, Apollo adjudged

Socrates the wisest man.

a. Some Verbs, as reddō, 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 (§ 168, 2, b): as,—

urbs Rōma vocāta est, the city was called Rome.

a. Not all Verbs admit the Passive construction; reddō and efficiō, 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,—

ōtium dīvōs rogat, he asks the gods for rest;

mē duās ōrātiōnēs postulās, you demand two

speeches of me.

So also ōrō, poscō, reposcō, exposcō, flāgitō,

though some of these prefer the Ablative with ab to the Accusative of the Person; as,—

Two Accusatives—Direct Object and Predicate Accusative. 136

 New Latin Grammar

opem ā tē poscō, I demand aid of you.

b) Verbs of teaching (doceō and its compounds); as,—

tē litterās doceō, I teach you your letters.

c) Verbs of inquiring; as,—

tē haec rogō, I ask you this;

tē sententiam rogō, I ask you your opinion.

d) Several Special Verbs; viz. moneō, admoneō, commoneō,

cōgō, accūsō, arguō, and a few others. These admit only a
Neuter Pronoun or Adjective as Accusative of the Thing; as,—

hōc tē moneō, I give you this advice;

mē id accūsās, you bring this accusation against me;

id cōgit nōs nātūra, nature compels us (to) this.

e) One Verb of concealing, cēlō; as,—

nōn tē cēlāvī sermōnem, 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,—

omnēs artēs ēdoctus est, he was taught all accomplishments;

rogātus sum sententiam, I was asked my opinion;

multa ādmonēmur, we are given many admonitions.

a. Only a few Verbs admit the Passive construction.

Two Accusatives with Compounds.

179. 1. Transitive compounds of trāns may take two Accusatives, one dependent upon the Verb, the
other upon the Preposition, as,—

mīlitēs flūmen trānsportat, 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,—

Two Accusatives—Person and Thing. 137

 New Latin Grammar

mīlitēs flūmen trādūcēbantur, 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 artūs, literally, he trembles as to his limbs, i.e. his limbs tremble;

nūda genū, lit. bare as to the knee, i.e. with knee bare;

manūs 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,—

quadrāgintā annōs vīxit, he lived forty years;

hīc locus passūs sescentōs aberat, this place was six hundred paces
away;

arborēs quīnquāgintā pedēs altae, trees fifty feet high;

abhinc septem annōs, seven years ago.

2. Emphasis is sometimes added by using the Preposition per; as,

per biennium labōrāvī, 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,—

Rōmam vēnī, I came to Rome;

Athēnās proficīscitur, he sets out for Athens;

Two Accusatives with Compounds. 138

 New Latin Grammar

Dēlum pervēnī, I arrived at Delos.

b) With domum, domōs, rūs; as,—

domum revertitur, he returns home;

rūs ībō, I shall go to the country.

NOTE.—When domus means house (i.e. building), it takes a preposition; as,—

in domum veterem remigrāre, 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 vēnit, 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,—

Thūriōs in Italiam pervectus, carried to Thurii in Italy;

cum Acēn ad exercitum vēnisset, 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 vēnī, I came to the vicinity of Tarentum;

ad Cannās 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 vēnit, 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 īnfitiās īre, 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,—

Accusative of Limit of Motion. 139

 New Latin Grammar

mē miserum, ah, wretched me!

Ō fallācem spem, oh, deceptive hope!

Accusative as Subject of the Infinitive.

184. The Subject of the Infinitive is put in the Accusative; as,—

videō hominem abīre, 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, hominēs id genus, men of that kind (originally
hominēs, id genus hominum, men, that kind of men);

virīle 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 aetātis, at that time; cētera, 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 pecūniam mihi dat, he gives me this money;

haec nōbīs dīxit, he said this to us.

Accusative in Exclamations. 140

 New Latin Grammar

a. Some verbs which take this construction (particularly dōnō and

circumdō) admit also the Accusative of the person along with the Ablative of the
thing. Thus:—

Either Themistoclī mūnera dōnāvit, he presented gifts to

Themistocles, or

Themistoclem mūneribus dōnāvit, he presented Themistocles with gifts;

urbī mūrōs circumdat, he builds walls around the city, or

urbem mūrīs circumdat, he surrounds the city with walls

II. With many intransitive verbs; as,—

nūllī labōrī cēdit, 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 populāribus favet, Caesar favors (i.e. is favorable to) the popular party;

amīcīs cōnfīdō, I trust (to) my friends;

Orgetorīx Helvētiīs persuāsit, Orgetorix persuaded (made it

acceptable to) the Helvetians;

bonīs nocet quī malīs 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, juvō,
laedō, dēlectō. Thus: audentēs deus juvat, God helps the bold; nēminem
laesit he injured no one.

b. Verbs of this class are used in the passive only impersonally; as,—

tibi parcitur, you are spared;

mihi persuādētur, I am being persuaded;

eī invidētur, he is envied.

c. Some of the foregoing verbs admit also a Direct Object in connection with the Dative;
as,—

mihi mortem minitātur, he threatens me with death (threatens death to me).

Dative of Indirect Object. 141

 New Latin Grammar

III. With many verbs compounded with the prepositions: ad, ante, circum, com,[49] in, inter, ob, post, prae,
prō, 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,—

afflīctīs succurrit, he helps the aflicted;

exercituī praefuit, he was in command of the army;

intersum cōnsiliīs, 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,—

pecūniae pudōrem antepōnit, he puts honor before money;

inicere spem amīcīs, to inspire hope in one's friends;

mūnītiōni Labiēnum praefēcit, 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 oculōs versāris, you hover before my eyes (lit. hover before the eyes
to me);

illī sevēritās amōrem nōn dēminuit, in his case

severity did not diminish love (lit. to him severity did not diminish);

interclūdere inimīcīs commeātum, to cut of the supplies of the

enemy.

a. Note the phrase alicui interdīcere aquā et īgnī, 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,—

Dative of Reference. 142

 New Latin Grammar

oppidum prīmum Thessaliae venientibus ab Ēpīrō, 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,—

tū mihi istīus audāciam dēfendis? 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 servitūs tam clāro hominī, 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, dē,
ex, ad, govern a Dative of the person, less often of the thing; as,—

honōrem dētrāxērunt hominī, they took away the honor

from the man;

Caesar rēgī tetrarchiam ēripuit, Caesar took the tetrarchy away from
the king;

silicī scintillam excūdit, 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 nōbīs 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, ā with the Ablative is sometimes used with the Gerundive;
as,—

hostibus ā nōbīs 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,—

disputātiō quae mihi nūper habita est, the discussion which was
recently conducted by me.

Dative of Agency. 143

 New Latin Grammar

3. Rarely with the uncompounded tenses of the passive; as,—

honesta bonīs virīs 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 nōmen est Mārcus, I have the name Marcus.

1. But with nōmen est the name is more commonly attracted into the Dative; as, mihi
Mārcō nōmen 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,—

castrīs locum dēligere, to choose a place for a camp;

legiōnēs praesidiō relinquere, to leave the legions as a guard (lit. for a

guard);

receptuī 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,—

fortūnae tuae mihi cūrae sunt, your fortunes are a care to me (lit. for a care);

quibus sunt odiō, to whom they are an object of hatred;

cui bonō? to whom is it of advantage?

b) With other verbs; as,—

hōs tibi mūnerī mīsit, he has sent these to you for a present;

Pausaniās Atticīs vēnit auxiliō, Pausanias came to the aid of the

Athenians (lit. to the Athenians for aid).

3. In connection with the Gerundive; as,—

decemvirī lēgibus scrībundīs, decemvirs for codifying the laws;

Dative of Possession. 144

 New Latin Grammar

mē gerendō bellō ducem creāvēre, 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 inimīcus, hostile to me;

sunt proximī Germānis, they are next to the Germans;

noxiae poena pār estō, let the penalty be equal to the damage.

a. For propior and proximus with the Accusative, see § 141, 3.

2. Corresponding to the Dative of Purpose, the Dative occurs with adjectives signifying: suitable, adapted, fit;
as,—

castrīs idōneus locus, a place fit for a camp;

apta diēs sacrificiō, 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 clāmor caelō, the shout goes heavenward;

cinerēs rīvō fluentī 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 Latiō deōs īnferret, till he should bring his gods to Latium.

THE GENITIVE.

194. The Genitive is used with Nouns, Adjectives, and Verbs.

GENITIVE WITH NOUNS.

Dative of Purpose or Tendency. 145

 New Latin Grammar

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,—

Mārcī fīlius, the son of Marcus.

197. Genitive of Material; as,—

talentum aurī, a talent of gold;

acervus frūmentī, a pile of grain.

198. Genitive of Possession or Ownership; as,—

domus Cicerōnis, Cicero's house.

1. Here belongs the Genitive with causā and grātiā. The Genitive always precedes;
as,—

hominum causā, for the sake of men;

meōrum amīcōrum grātiā, for the sake of my friends.

2. The Possessive Genitive is often used predicatively, especially with esse and fierī; as,—

domus est rēgis, the house is the king's;

stultī est in errōre manēre, it is (the part) of a fool to remain in error;

dē bellō jūdicium imperātōris est, nōn

mīlitum, 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 § 359, 1.

199. Subjective Genitive. This denotes the person who makes or produces something or who has a feeling;
as,—

dicta Platōnis, the utterances of Plato;

timōrēs līberōrum, the fears of the children.

200. Objective Genitive. This denotes the object of an action or feeling; as,—

Dative of Direction. 146

 New Latin Grammar

metus deōrum, the fear of the gods;

amor lībertātis, love of liberty;

cōnsuētūdō bonōrum hominum, intercourse with good

men.

1. This relation is often expressed by means of prepositions; as,—

amor ergā parentēs, 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 mīlia peditum, two thousand foot-soldiers;

quis mortālium, who of mortals?

major frātrum, the elder of the brothers;

gēns maxima Germānōrum, the largest tribe of the Germans;

prīmus omnium, the first of all.

a. Yet instead of the Genitive of the Whole we often find ex or dē with the Ablative,
regularly so with Cardinal numbers and quīdam; as,—

fidēlissimus dē servīs, the most trusty of the slaves;

quīdam ex amīcīs, certain of his friends;

ūnus ex mīlitibus, 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 vōs estis, how many of you are there?

trecentī conjūrāvimus, 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 cōnsilī, what purpose?

tantum cibī, so much food;

Dative of Direction. 147

 New Latin Grammar

plūs auctōritātis, more authority;

minus labōris, less labor;

satis pecūniae, 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 bonī, 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 terrārum? ubi gentium? where in the world?

a. By an extension of this usage the Genitive sometimes occurs in dependence upon

prīdiē and postrīdiē, but only in the phrases prīdiē
ejus diēī, on the day before that; postrīdiē ejus
diēī, on the day after that.

202. Appositional Genitive. The Genitive sometimes has the force of an appositive; as,—

nōmen rēgis, the name of king;

poena mortis, the penalty of death;

ars scrībendī, 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 virtūtis, a man of great virtue;

ratiōnēs ejus modī, 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 quīndecim pedum, a trench fifteen feet wide (or deep);

exsilium decem annōrum, an exile of ten years.

3. Equivalent to the Genitive of Quality (though probably of different origin) are the Genitives tantī,
quantī, parvī, magnī, minōris, plūris, minimī,

Dative of Direction. 148

 New Latin Grammar

plūrimī, maximī. These are used predicatively to denote indefinite value; as,—

nūlla studia tantī sunt, no studies are of so much value;

magnī opera ejus exīstimāta est, his assistance was highly esteemed.

4. By an extension of the notion of value, quantī, tantī, plūris, and minōris are
also used with verbs of buying and selling, to denote indefinite price; as,—

quantī aedēs ēmistī, 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 mōlis erat Rōmānam 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,—

studiōsus discendī, desirous of learning;

perītus bellī, skilled in war;

īnsuētus labōris, unused to toil;

immemor mandātī tuī, unmindful of your commission;

plēna perīculōrum est vīta, life is full of dangers.

a. Some participles used adjectively also take the Genitive; as,—

diligēns vēritātis, fond of truth;

amāns patriae, devoted to one's country.

2. Sometimes with proprius and commūnis; as,—

virī propria est fortitūdō, bravery is characteristic of a man.

memoria est commūnis omnium artium, memory is common to all professions.

a. proprius and commūnis 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,—

Dative of Direction. 149

 New Latin Grammar

fīlius patris simillimus est, the son is exactly like his father;

meī similis, like me; vestrī similis, like you.

When the reference is to things, both Genitive and Dative occur; as,—

mors somnō (or somnī) 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, atrōx animī, fierce of temper; incertus cōnsilī, undecided in purpose.

GENITIVE WITH VERBS.

205. The Genitive is used with the following classes of Verbs:—

Memini, Reminīscor, Oblīvīscor.

206. 1. WHEN REFERRING TO PERSONS—

a. meminī always takes the Genitive of personal or reflexive pronouns; as,—

meī meminerīs, remember me!

nostrī meminit, he remembers us.

With other words denoting persons meminī takes the Accusative, rarely the Genitive; as,—

Sullam meminī, I recall Sulla;

vīvōrum meminī, I remember the living.

b. oblīvīscor regularly takes the Genitive; as,—

Epicūrī nōn licet oblīvīscī, we mustn't forget

Epicurus.

2. WHEN REFERRING TO THINGS, meminī, reminīscor, oblīvīscor take

sometimes the Genitive, sometimes the Accusative, without difference of meaning; as,—

animus praeteritōrum meminit, the mind remembers the past;

meministīne nōmina, do you remember the names?

reminīscere veteris incommodī, remember the former disaster;

reminīscēns acerbitātem, remembering the bitterness.

a. But neuter pronouns, and adjectives used substantively, regularly stand in the Accusative;
as,—

Memini, Reminīscor, Oblīvīscor. 150

 New Latin Grammar

haec meminī, I remember this;

multa reminīscor, I remember many things.

3. The phrase mihi (tibi, etc.) in mentem venit, following the analogy of meminī, takes the Genitive;
as,—

mihi patriae veniēbat in mentem, I remembered my country.

Admoneō, Commoneō, Commonefaciō.

207. These verbs, in addition to an Accusative of the person, occasionally take a Genitive of the thing;
as,—

tē veteris amīcitiae commonefaciō, I remind you of our old friendship.

a. But more frequently (in Cicero almost invariably) these verbs take dē with the
Ablative; as,—

mē admonēs dē sorōre, you remind me of your sister.

b. A neuter pronoun or adjective used substantively regularly stands in the Accusative (§ 178,
1, d); as,—

tē hōc admoneō, I give you this warning.

Verbs of Judicial Action.

208. 1. Verbs of Accusing, Convicting, Acquitting take the Genitive of the charge; as,—

mē fūrtī accūsat, he accuses me of theft;

Verrem avāritiae coarguit, he convicts Verres of avarice;

impietātis absolūtus est, he was acquitted of blasphemy.

2. Verbs of Condemning take—

a. The Genitive of the charge; as,—

pecūniae pūblicae condemnātus, condemned (on the charge) of

embezzlement (lit. public money);

capitis damnātus, condemned on a capital charge (lit. on a charge involving his

head).

b. The Ablative of the penalty; as,—

capite damnātus est, he was condemned to death;

Admoneō, Commoneō, Commonefaciō. 151

 New Latin Grammar

mīlle nummīs damnātus est, he was condemned (to pay) a thousand

sesterces (lit. by a thousand sesterces, Abl. of Means).

3. Note the phrases:—

vōtī damnātus, vōtī reus, having attained one's prayer (lit.

condemned on the score of one's vow);

dē vī, (accused, convicted, etc.) of assault;

inter sīcāriōs, (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 mē tuī, I am ashamed of you (lit. it shames me of you);

paenitet mē hūjus factī, I repent of this act;

eum taedet vītae, he is weary of life;

pauperum tē 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;—

mē paenitet hōc fēcisse, I repent of having done this;

mē hōc pudet, I am ashamed of this.

2. Misereor and miserēscō also govern the Genitive; as,—

miserēminī sociōrum, pity the allies.

Interest, Rēfert.

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.

Verbs of Judicial Action. 152

 New Latin Grammar

a. But instead of the Genitive of the personal pronouns, meī, tuī, nostrī,
vestrī, the Latin uses the Ablative Singular Feminine of the Possessive, viz.:
meā, tuā, etc.; as,—

meā interest, it concerns me.

2. The thing about which a person is concerned is denoted—

a) by a Neuter Pronoun as subject; as,—

hōc reī pūblicae interest, this concerns the state.

b) by an Infinitive; as,—

omnium interest valēre, it concerns all to keep well.

c) by an Indirect Question; as,—

meā interest quandō veniās, I am concerned as to when you are coming.

3. The degree of concern is denoted—

a) by the Genitive (cf. § 203, 3): magnī, parvī, etc.; as,—

meā magnī interest, it concerns me greatly.

b) by the Adverbs, magnopere, magis, maximē, etc.; as,—

cīvium minimē interest, it concerns the citizens very little.

c) by the Neuters, multum, plūs, minus, etc.; as,—

multum vestrā interest, it concerns you much.

4. Rēfert follows interest in its construction, except that it rarely takes the Genitive of the person.
Thus:—

meā rēfert, it concerns me;

but rarely illīus rēfert, it concerns him.

Genitive with Other Verbs.

212. 1. Verbs of Plenty and Want sometimes govern the Genitive; as,—

pecūniae indigēs, you need money.

a. These verbs more commonly take the Ablative (§ 214, 1); indigeō is the only verb
which has a preference for the Genitive.

Interest, Rēfert. 153

 New Latin Grammar

2. Potior, though usually followed by the Ablative, sometimes takes the Genitive, almost always so in Sallust;
and regularly in the phrase potīrī rērum, to get control of affairs.

3. In poetry some verbs take the Genitive in imitation of the Greek; as,—

dēsine querellārum, cease your complaints;

operum solūtī, 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: līberō, solvō, levō;

b) The Verbs of depriving: prīvō, spoliō, exuō, fraudō,

nūdō;

c) The Verbs of lacking: egeō, careō, vacō;

d) The corresponding Adjectives, līber, inānis, vacuus, nūdus,

and some others of similar meaning.

Thus:—

cūrīs līberātus, freed from cares;

Caesar hostēs armīs exuit, Caesar stripped the enemy of their arms;

Genitive with Other Verbs. 154

 New Latin Grammar

caret sēnsū commūnī, he lacks common sense;

auxiliō eget, he needs help;

bonōrum vīta vacua est metū, the life of the good is free from fear.

NOTE 1.—Yet Adjectives and līberō may take the preposition ab,—regularly so
with the Ablative of persons; as,—

urbem ā tyrannō līberārunt, they freed the city from the tyrant.

NOTE 2.—Indigeō usually takes the Genitive. See § 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:—

abstinēre cibō, to abstain from food;

hostēs fīnibus prohibuērunt, they kept the enemy from their borders;

praedōnēs ab īnsulā 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
sē-; as,—

dissentiō ā tē, I dissent from you;

sēcernantur ā nōbīs, 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 nātus and ortus (in poetry also with
ēditus, satus, and some others), to designate parentage or station; as,—

Jove nātus, son of Jupiter;

summō locō nātus, high-born (lit. born from a very high place);

nōbilī genere ortus, born of a noble family.

1. Pronouns regularly (nouns rarely) take ex; as,

ex mē nātus, 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 Separation. 155

 New Latin Grammar

Ablative of Agent.

216. The Ablative accompanied by ā (ab) is used with passive verbs to denote the personal agent;
as,—

ā Caesare accūsātus 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:—

hostēs ā fortūnā dēserēbantur, the enemy were

deserted by Fortune;

ā multitūdine hostium mōntēs tenēbantur, the mountains

were held by a multitude of the enemy.

2. Names of animals sometimes admit the same construction. Thus:—

ā canibus laniātus 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 vītā cārior 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,—

tuī studiōsior sum quam illīus, I am fonder of you than of him.

—Studiōsior illō would have meant, I am fonder of you than he is.

Plūs, minus, amplius, longius are often employed as the equivalents of plūs quam, minus
quam, etc. Thus:—

amplius vīgintī urbēs incenduntur, more than twenty cities are fired;

minus quīnque mīlia prōcessit, he advanced less than five miles.

3. Note the use of opīniōne with Comparatives; as,—

opīniōne celerius venit, he comes more quickly than expected (lit. than
opinion).

INSTRUMENTAL USES OF THE ABLATIVE.

Ablative of Agent. 156

 New Latin Grammar

Ablative of Means.

218. The Ablative is used to denote means or instrument; as,—

Alexander sagittā vulnerātus est, Alexander was wounded by an arrow.

There are the following special varieties of this Ablative:—

1. Ūtor, fruor, fungor, potior, vescor, and their compounds take the Ablative; as,—

dīvitiīs ūtitur, he uses his wealth (lit. he benefits himself by his wealth);

vītā fruitur, he enjoys life (lit. he enjoys himself by life);

mūnere fungor, I perform my duty (lit. I busy myself with duty);

carne vescuntur, they eat flesh (lit. feed themselves by means of);

castrīs potītus est, he got possession of the camp (lit. made himself powerful
by the camp).

a.. Potior sometimes governs the Genitive. See § 212, 2.

2. With opus est (rarely ūsus est), there is need; as,—

duce nōbīs opus est, we need a leader.

a. A Neuter Pronoun or Adjective often stands as subject with opus as predicate.

Thus:—

hōc mihi opus est, this is necessary for me.

b. An ordinary substantive rarely stands as subject. Thus dux nōbīs opus est is
a rare form of expression.

c. Note the occasional use of a perfect passive participle with opus est; as,—

opus est properātō, there is need of haste.

3. With nītor, innīxus, and frētus; as,—

nītitur hastā, he rests on a spear (lit. supports himself by a spear);

frētus virtūte, relying on virtue (lit. supported by virtue).

4. With continērī, cōnsistere, cōnstāre, consist of; as,—

nervīs et ossibus continentur, they consist of sinews and bones (lit. they are held
together by sinews and bones);

Ablative of Means. 157

 New Latin Grammar

mortālī cōnsistit corpore mundus, the world consists of mortal

substance (lit. holds together by means of, etc.).

6. In expressions of the following type:—

quid hōc homine faciās, what can you do with this man?

quid meā Tulliolā fīet, 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:—

proeliō contendere, vincere, to contend, conquer in battle;

proeliō lacessere, to provoke to battle;

currū vehī, to ride in a chariot;

pedibus īre, to go on foot;

castrīs sē tenēre, to keep in camp.

8. With Verbs of filling and Adjectives of plenty; as,—

fossās virgultīs complērunt, they filled the trenches with brush.

a. But plēnus more commonly takes the Genitive. See § 204, 1.

9. Under 'Means' belongs also the Ablative of the Way by Which; as,—

vīnum Tiberī dēvectum, wine brought down (by) the Tiber.

10. The means may be a person as well as a thing. Thus:—

mīlitibus ā lacū Lemannō ad montem Jūram

mūrum perdūcit, 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 glōriae cupiditāte fēcit, he did many things on account of his love
of glory.

1. So especially with verbs denoting mental states; as, dēlector, gāudeō, laetor,
glōrior, fīdō, cōnfīdō. Also with contentus; as,—

fortūnā amīcī gaudeō, I rejoice at the fortune of my friend

(i.e. on account of it);

Ablative of Cause. 158

 New Latin Grammar

victōriā suā glōriantur, they exult over their victory;

nātūrā locī cōnfīdēbant, they trusted in the

character of their country (lit. were confident on account of the character).

a. fīdō and cōnfīdō always take the Dative of the person (§

187, II, a); sometimes the Dative of the thing.

2. As Ablatives of Cause are to be reckoned also such Ablatives as jussū, by order of, injussū,
without the order, rogātū, etc.

Ablative of Manner.

220. The Ablative with cum is used to denote manner; as,—

cum gravitāte loquitur, he speaks with dignity.

1. The preposition may be absent when the Ablative is modified by an adjective; as,—

magnā gravitāte loquitur, he speaks with great dignity.

2. The preposition is regularly absent in the expressions jūre, injūriā, jocō,

vī, fraude, voluntāte, fūrtō, silentiō.

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:—

meā sententiā, according to my opinion;

suīs mōribus, in accordance with their custom;

suā sponte, voluntarily, of his (their) own accord;

eā condiciōne, 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,—

bonīs auspiciīs, under good auspices;

nūlla est altercātiō clāmōribus umquam habita

majōribus, no debate was ever held under circumstances of greater applause;

exstinguitur ingentī lūctū prōvinciae, he dies under

circumstances of great grief on the part of the province;

longō intervāllō sequitur, he follows at a great distance.

Ablative of Manner. 159

 New Latin Grammar

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 febrī 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 cōpiīs, ingentī exercitū, magnā manū; but

usually cum exercitū, cum duābus legiōnibus.

Ablative of Association.

222A. The Ablative is often used with verbs of joining, mixing, clinging, exchanging; also with
assuēscō, cōnsuēscō, assuēfaciō, and some others to denote
association; as,—

improbitās scelere jūncta, badness joined with crime;

āēr calōre admixtus, air mixed with heat;

assuētus labōre, accustomed to (lit. familiarized with) toil;

pācem bellō permūtant, 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,
īnfrā, suprā) to denote the degree of difference; as,—

dimidiō minor, smaller by a half;

tribus pedibus altior, three feet higher;

paulō post, a little afterwards;

quō plurā habēmus, eō cupimus ampliōra, 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 eximiā fōrmā, a girl of exceptional beauty;

vir singulārī industriā, a man of singular industry.

Ablative of Accompaniment. 160

 New Latin Grammar

1. The Ablative of Quality may also be used predicatively; as,—

est magnā prūdentiā, he is (a man) of great wisdom;

bonō animā sunt, they are of good courage.

2. In place of the Adjective we sometimes find a limiting Genitive; as,—

sunt speciē et colōre taurī, they are of the appearance and color of a
bull,

3. In poetry the Ablative of Quality sometimes denotes material; as,—

scopulīs pendentībus antrum, a cave of arching rocks.

Ablative of Price.

225. With verbs of buying and selling, price is designated by the Ablative; as—

servum quīnque minīs ēmit, he bought the slave for five minae.

1. The Ablatives magnō, plūrimō, parvō, minimō (by omission of

pretiō) are used to denote indefinite price; as,—

aedēs magnō vēndidīt, he sold the house for a high price.

2. For the Genitive of Indefinite Price, see § 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,—

Helvētiī omnibus Gallīs virtūte praestābant, the

Helvetians surpassed all the Gauls in valor;

pede claudus, lame in his foot.

1. Note the phrases:—

major nātū, older (lit. greater as to age);

minor nātū, younger.

2. Here belongs the use of the Ablative with dignus, worthy, indignus, unworthy, and dignor, deem worthy
of; as,—

dignī honōre, worthy of honor (i.e. in point of honor);

fidē indignī, unworthy of confidence;

Ablative of Quality. 161

 New Latin Grammar

mē dignor honōre, 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 captā, Aenēās fūgit, 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,—

vīvō Caesare rēs pūblica salva erat, while Caesar was alive the
state was safe (lit. Caesar being alive);

Tarquiniō rēge, Pythagorās in Italiam vēnit, in the reign of

Tarquin Pythagoras came into Italy (lit. Tarquin being king);

Cn. Pompejō, M. Crassō cōnsulibus, 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,—

omnēs virtūtēs jacent, voluptāte dominante, all virtues lie

prostrate, if pleasure is master.

c) Opposition; as,—

perditīs omnibus rēbus, virtūs sē sustentāre potest,

though everything else is lost, yet Virtue can maintain herself.

d) Cause; as,—

nūllō adversante rēgnum obtinuit, since no one opposed him, he

secured the throne.

e) Attendant circumstance; as,—

passīs palmīs pācem petīvērunt, 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,—

audītō eum fūgisse, when it was heard that he had fled.

Ablative of Specification. 162

 New Latin Grammar

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 § 232,
1); as,—

Carthāginī, at Carthage;

Athēnis, at Athens;

Vejīs, at Veii.

b) The general words locō, locīs, parte; also many words modified by
tōtus or even by other Adjectives; as,—

hōc locō, at this place;

tōtīs castrīs, in the whole camp.

c) The special words: forīs, out of doors; rūrī, in the country,

terrā marīque, on land and sea.

d) The poets freely omit the preposition with any word denoting place; as,—

stant lītore puppēs, 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 Italiā 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,—

Ablative Absolute. 163

 New Latin Grammar

Rōma profectus est, he set out from Rome;

Rhodō revertit, he returned from Rhodes.

b) domō, from home; rūre, from the country.

c) Freely in poetry; as,—

Italiā dēcessit, 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,—

ā Gergoviā discessit, he withdrew from the vicinity of Gergovia;

ā Rōmā X mīlia aberat, he was ten miles distant from Rome.

Urbe and oppidō, when standing in apposition with a town name, are accompanied by a preposition;
as,—

Curibus ex oppidō Sabīnōrum, 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,—

quārtā hōrā mortuus est, he died at the fourth hour;

annō septuāgēsimō cōnsul creātus, elected consul in

his seventieth year.

1. Any word denoting a period of time may stand in this construction, particularly annus, vēr,
aestās, hiems, diēs, nox, hōra, comitia (Election Day), lūdī (the Games),
etc.

2. Words not denoting time require the preposition in, unless accompanied by a modifier. Thus:—

in pāce, in peace; in bellō, in war;

but secundō bellō Pūnicō, in the second Punic War.

3. Expressions like in eō tempore, in summa senectūte, 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,—

Ablative of Place. 164

 New Latin Grammar

stella Sāturnī trīgintā annīs cursum cōnficit, the

planet Saturn completes its orbit within thirty years;

ter in annō, thrice in the course of the year.

1. Occasionally the Ablative denotes duration of time; as,—

bienniō prōsperās rēs 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,—

Rōmae, at Rome; Corinthī, at Corinth;

Rhodī, at Rhodes.
2. In the following special forms:—

domī, at home; humī, on the ground;

bellī, in war; mīlitiae, in war;
vesperī, at evening; herī, yesterday.
3. Note the phrase pendēre animī, lit. to be in suspense in one's mind.

4. For urbs and oppidum in apposition with a Locative, see § 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 sapiēns, a wise man.

A Predicate Adjective is one that limits its subject through the medium of a verb (usually esse); as,—

vir est sapiēns, the man is wise;

vir vidēbātur sapiēns, the man seemed wise;

vir jūdicātus est sapiēns, the man was judged wise;

Ablative of Time. 165

 New Latin Grammar

hunc virum sapientem jūdicāvimus, 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; prīma et vīcēsima
legiōnēs, 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 rērum mors est extrēmum, 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 māter, your father and mother;

eadem alacritās et studium, the same eagerness and zeal.

2. When the Adjective is Predicative, it is regularly Plural; as,—

pāx 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,—

rēs operae multae ac labōris, 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 fīlius captī sunt, father and son were captured.

Yet with feminine abstract nouns, the Adjective is more frequently Neuter; as,—

stultitia et timiditās fugienda sunt, folly and cowardice must be shunned.

b) If the nouns are of different gender; then,—

α) In case they denote persons, the Adjective is Masculine; as,—

CHAPTER III.—Syntax of Adjectives. 166

 New Latin Grammar

pater et māter mortuī sunt, the father and mother have died.

β) In case they denote things, the Adjective is Neuter; as,—

honōrēs et victōriae fortuīta sunt, honors and victories are

accidental.

γ) In case they include both persons and things, the Adjective is,—

αα) Sometimes Masculine; as,—

domus, uxor, līberī inventī sunt, home, wife, and children are secured.

ββ) Sometimes Neuter; as,—

parentēs, līberōs, domōs vīlia habēre, to hold

parents, children, houses cheap.

γγ) Sometimes it agrees with the nearest noun; as,—

populī prōvinciaeque līberātae 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 bēstiīs objectī 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,—

doctī, scholars; parva, small things;

malī, the wicked; magna, great things;
Graecī, the ūtilia, useful things;
Greeks;
nostrī, our men.
2. Neuter Plural Adjectives thus used are confined mainly to the Nominative and Accusative cases. Such
forms as magnōrum, omnium; magnīs, omnibus, would ordinarily lead to ambiguity; yet
where there is no ambiguity, they sometimes occur; as,—

parvīs compōnere magna, to compare great things with small

Otherwise the Latin says: magnārum rērum, magnīs rēbus, etc.

237. SINGULAR ADJECTIVES USED SUBSTANTIVELY. Adjectives are less freely used as Substantives
in the Singular than in the Plural.

AGREEMENT OF ADJECTIVES. 167

 New Latin Grammar

1. Masculine Adjectives occur only occasionally in this use; as,—

probus invidet nēminī, the honest man envies nobody.

a. Usually vir, homō, or some similar word is employed; as,—

homō doctus, a scholar;

vir Rōmānus, a Roman.

b. But when limited by a pronoun any adjective may be so used; as,—

hīc doctus, this scholar;

doctus quīdam, a certain scholar.

2. Neuters are likewise infrequent; as,—

vērum, truth;

jūstum, 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 vērī, something true;

nihil novī, nothing new;

in mediō, 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,—

adversārius, hīberna, winter quarters;

opponent;
aequālis, propinquus, relative;
contemporary;
amīcus, friend; socius, partner;
cognātus, kinsman; sodālis, comrade;
vīcīnus, 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,—

senātus frequēns convēnit, the senate assembled in great numbers;

ADJECTIVES USED SUBSTANTIVELY. 168

 New Latin Grammar

fuit assiduus mēcum, he was constantly with me.

COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES.

240. 1. The Comparative often corresponds to the English Positive with 'rather,' 'somewhat,' 'too'; as,—

senectūs est loquācior, 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 cōpiae, as great forces as possible.

4. Phrases of the type 'more rich than brave' regularly take the Comparative in both members; as,—

exercitus erat dītior 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 prīmus, extrēmus,
summus, medius, īnfimus, īmus; as,—

summus mōns, the top of the mountain;

extrēmā hieme, in the last part of the winter.

2. Prior, prīmus, ultimus, and postrēmus are frequently equivalent to a relative clause;
as,—

prīmus eam vīdī, I was the first who saw her;

ultimus dēcessit, 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 cōgitātiōnēs, many (and) great thoughts.

ADJECTIVES WITH THE FORCE OF ADVERBS. 169

 New Latin Grammar

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:—

videō, I see; amat, he loves.

But ego tē videō, et tū mē vidēs, I see you, and you see me.

2. The Genitives meī, tuī, nostrī, vestrī are used only as Objective Genitives;
nostrum and vestrum as Genitives of the Whole. Thus:—

memor tuī, mindful of you;

dēsīderium vestrī, longing for you;

nēmō 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:—

virtūs amīcitiās conciliat et cōnservat, virtue establishes

friendships and maintains them (not eās cōnservat).

POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS.

243. 1. The Possessive Pronouns, as a rule, are not employed except for the purpose of clearness.
Thus:—

patrem amō, I love my father;

dē fīliī morte flēbās, you wept for the death of your son.

But—

dē morte fīliī meī flēbās, 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,—

suā manū līberōs occīdit, with his own hand he slew his
children;

CHAPTER IV.—Syntax of Pronouns. 170

 New Latin Grammar

meā quidem sententiā, 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;

dēsīderium tuum, longing for you.

3. For special emphasis, the Latin employs ipsīus or ipsōrum, in apposition with the Genitive
idea implied in the Possessive; as,—

meā ipsīus operā, by my own help;

nostrā ipsōrum operā, by our own help.

a. So sometimes other Genitives; as,—

meā ūnīus operā, by the assistance of me alone.

REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS.

244. 1. The Reflexive Pronoun sē 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,—

sē amant, they love themselves;

suōs amīcōs adjuvāt, he helps his own friends;

eum ōrāvī, ut sē servāret, 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,—

mē ōrāvit ut sē dēfenderem, he besought me to defend him

(lit. that I defend himself);

mē ōrāvērunt, ut fortūnārum suārum

dēfēnsiōnem 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 suī is regularly employed, like meī and tuī, as an Objective Genitive,
e.g. oblītus suī, forgetful of himself; but it occasionally occurs—particularly in
post-Augustan writers—in place of the Possessive suus; as, fruitur fāmā suī, he
enjoys his own fame.

POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS. 171

 New Latin Grammar

3. Sē and suus are sometimes used in the sense, one's self, one's own, where the reference is not to any
particular person; as,—

sē amāre, to love one's self;

suum genium propitiāre, 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 suī cīvēs ē cīvitāte

ējēcērunt, 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 tū (§
85); as,—

vōs dēfenditis, 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 nōs, inter vōs, inter sē; as,—

Belgae obsidēs inter sē dedērunt, the Belgae gave each other hostages
(lit. among themselves);

amāmus inter nōs, we love each other;

Gallī inter sē cohortātī sunt, the Gauls exhorted each other.

a. Note that the Object is not expressed in sentences of this type.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS.

Hīc, Ille, Iste.

246. 1. Where hīc and ille are used in contrast, hīc usually refers to the latter of two objects,
and ille to the former.

2. Hīc and ille are often used in the sense of 'the following'; as,—

Themistoclēs hīs verbīs epistulam mīsit, Themistocles sent a

letter (couched) in the following words;

illud intellegō, omnium ōra in mē conversa esse, I understand this, that
the faces of all are turned toward me.

REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS. 172

 New Latin Grammar

3. Ille often means the famous; as, Solōn ille, the famous Solon.

4. Iste frequently involves contempt; as, iste homō, that fellow!

5. The above pronouns, along with is, are usually attracted to the gender of a predicate noun; as, hīc 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 quī. Thus:—

Maximum, eum quī Tarentum recēpit, dīlēxī, I loved

Maximus, the man who retook Tarentum.

a. Closely akin to this usage is is in the sense of such (= tālis); as,—

nōn sum is quī 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,—

nōn suspicābātur (id quod nunc sentiet) satis multōs

testēs nōbīs reliquōs 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 exercitū Sullae et posteā in Crassī fuerat, he had been in the army of

Sulla and afterward in that of Crassus;

nūllae mē fābulae dēlectant nisi Plautī, 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.

Īdem.

248. 1. Īdem 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 appellāmus, a good man, whom we call also
wise.

Hīc, Ille, Iste. 173

 New Latin Grammar

For īdem atque (ac), the same as, see § 341, 1. c.

Ipse.

249. 1. Ipse, literally self, acquires its special force from the context; as,—

eō ipsō diē, on that very day;

ad ipsam rīpam, close to the bank;

ipsō terrōre, by mere fright;

valvae sē ipsae aperuērunt, 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,—

sēcum ipsī loquuntur, they talk with themselves;

sē ipse continēre nōn 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 pertimuērunt nē Alcibiadēs ab ipsīs

dēscīsceret et cum suīs in grātiam redīret, the Persians
feared that Alcibiades would break with them and become reconciled with his countrymen;

ea molestissimē ferre dēbent hominēs quae ipsōrum

culpā contrācta 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 vidēbāmus, 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 § 235, B, 2). Thus:—

pater et fīlius, qui captī sunt, the father and son who were captured;

stultitia et timiditās quae fugienda sunt, folly and cowardice which must be shunned;

Īdem. 174
 New Latin Grammar

honōrēs et victōriae quae sunt fortuīta, 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 quī bēstiīs objectī sunt, a part (of the men) who were
thrown to beasts.

5. Occasionally the Relative is attracted into the case of its antecedent; as,—

nātus eō patre quō dīxī, born of the father that I said.

251. Antecedent. 1. The antecedent of the Relative is sometimes omitted; as,—

quī nātūram sequitur sapiēns est, he who follows Nature is wise.

2. The antecedent may be implied in a possessive pronoun (or rarely an adjective); as,—

nostra quī remānsimus caedēs, the slaughter of us who remained;

servīlī tumultū, quōs ūsus ac disciplīna

sublevārunt, at the uprising of the slaves, whom experience and discipline assisted
(servīlī = servōrum).

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 nōvit artem, in hāc sē exerceat, let each one practice the
branch which he knows.

b) When the antecedent is an appositive; as,—

nōn longē ā Tolōsātium fīnibus absunt, quae

cīvitās est in prōvinciā, 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,—

RELATIVE PRONOUNS. 175

 New Latin Grammar

Themistoclēs dē servīs suīs, quem habuit fidēlissimum,

mīsit, Themistocles sent the most trusty slave he had.

d) In expressions of the following type—

quā es prūdentiā; quae tua est prūdentia, 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
vīdī.

6. The Relative is used freely in Latin, particularly at the beginning of a sentence, where in English we
employ a demonstrative; as,—

quō factum est, by this it happened;

quae cum ita sint, since this is so;

quibus rēbus cognitīs, 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 dignē satis laudārī philosophia poterit, cui quī

pāreat, omne tempus aetātis sine molestiā possit dēgere,
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
pāreat, which is subordinate to possit.

INDEFINITE PRONOUNS.

252. 1. Quis, any one, is the weakest of the Indefinites, and stands usually in combination with sī, nisi,
nē, num; as,—

sī quis putat, if any one thinks.

2. Aliquis (adj. aliquī) is more definite than quis, and corresponds usually to the English some one,
somebody, some; as,—

nunc aliquis dīcat mihī, now let somebody tell me;

utinam modo agātur aliquid, oh that something may be done.

3. Quīdam, a certain one, is still more definite than aliquis; as,—

homō quīdam, a certain man (i.e., one whom I have in mind).

INDEFINITE PRONOUNS. 176

 New Latin Grammar

a. Quīdam (with or without quasi, as if) is sometimes used in the sense: a sort of, kind
of; as,—

cognātiō quaedam, a sort of relationship;

mors est quasi quaedam migrātiō, death is a kind of transfer as it were.

4. Quisquam, any one, any one whoever (more general than quis), and its corresponding adjective
ūllus, any, occur mostly in negative and conditional sentences, in interrogative sentences implying a
negative, and in clauses of comparison; as,—

jūstitia numquam nocet cuiquam, justice never harms anybody;

sī quisquam, Catō sapiēns fuit, if anybody was ever wise, Cato was;

potestne quisquam sine perturbātiōne animī

īrāscī, can anybody be angry without excitement?

sī ūllō modō poterit, if it can be done in any way;

taetrior hīc tyrannus fuit quam quisquam superiōrum, 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 § 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,—

quīntō quōque annō, every four years (lit. each fifth year).

6. Nēmō, no one, in addition to its other uses, stands regularly with adjectives used
substantively; as,—

nēmō mortālis, no mortal;

nēmō Rōmānus, no Roman.

PRONOMINAL ADJECTIVES.

253. 1. Alius, another, and alter, the other, are often used correlatively; as,—

PRONOMINAL ADJECTIVES. 177

 New Latin Grammar

aliud loquitur, aliud sentit, he says one thing, he thinks another;

aliī resistunt, aliī fugiunt, some resist, others flee;

alter exercitum perdidit, alter vēndidit, one ruined the army, the other sold it;

alterī sē in montem recēpērunt, alterī ad

impedīmenta sē contulērunt, 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 aliīs placet, one thing pleases some, another others.

a. So sometimes with adverbs; as,—

aliī aliō fugiunt, some flee in one direction, others in another.

3. The Latin also expresses the notion 'each other' by means of alius repeated; as,—

Gallī alius alium cohortātī sunt, the Gauls encouraged each other.

4. Cēterī means the rest, all the others; as,—

cēterīs praestāre, to be superior to all the others.

5. Reliquī means the others in the sense of the rest, those remaining,—hence is the regular word
with numerals; as,—

reliquī 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;

mīsit nescio quem, he sent some one or other;

nescio quō pactō, somehow or other.

CHAPTER V.—Syntax of Verbs.

CHAPTER V.—Syntax of Verbs. 178

 New Latin Grammar

AGREEMENT.

With One Subject.

254. 1. Agreement in Number and Person. A Finite Verb agrees with its subject in Number and Person;
as,—

vōs vidētis, you see;

pater fīliōs īnstituit, 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,—

sēditiō 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,—

Tarquiniī māterna patria erat, Tarquinii was his native country on his
mother's side;

nōn omnis error stultitia est dīcenda, not every error is to be called folly.

a. Less frequently the verb agrees with an appositive; as,—

Coriolī, oppidum Volscōrum, 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,—

multitūdō hominum convēnerant, a crowd of men had gathered.

b) In Gender; as,—

duo mīlia crucibus adfīxī 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 fīlius mortuī 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,—

AGREEMENT. 179
 New Latin Grammar

mortuus est pater et fīlius;

pater mortuus est et fīlius.

b) When the subjects are connected by aut; aut ... aut; vel ... vel; neque ... neque;
as,—

neque pater neque fīlius mortuus est, neither father nor son died.

3. When the different subjects are felt together as constituting a whole, the singular is used; as,—

temeritās ignōrātiōque vitiōsa est, rashness and ignorance

are bad.

a. This is regularly the case in senātus populusque Rōmānus.

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,—

sī tū et Tullia valētis, ego et Cicerō valēmus, 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 § 235, B, 2.

VOICES.

256. 1. The Passive Voice sometimes retains traces of its original middle or reflexive meaning; as,—

ego nōn patiar eum dēfendī, 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,—

vēlātus tempora, having veiled his temples.

a. Occasionally finite forms of the verb are thus used; as,—

tunicā indūcitur artūs, 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 Perfect: Future:
scrībō, I write. scrīpsī, I scrībam, I shall
wrote. write.
GOING ON. Present: Imperfect: Future:
scrībō, I am scrībēbam, I scrībam, I shall be
writing. was writing. writing.
COMPLETED. Present Perfect: Pluperfect: Future Perfect:
scrīpsī, I have scrīpseram, I had scrīpserō, I
written. written. shall have 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,—

virtūs conciliat amīcitiās et cōnservat, virtue establishes ties of

friendship and maintains them (i.e. always does so).

TENSES. 181
 New Latin Grammar

2. It is used of an attempted action ('Conative Present'); as,—

dum vītant vitia, in contrāria currunt, while they try to avoid (vītant)
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 diū, jam prīdem, and similar words, the Present is frequently
used of an action originating in the past and continuing in the present; as,—

jam prīdem cupiō tē vīsere, 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 legēbam, 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,—

lēgātōs interrogābat, he kept asking the envoys;

C. Duīlium vidēbam 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,—

hostēs nostrōs intrā mūnītiōnēs

prōgredī prohibēbant, the enemy tried to prevent (prohibēbant)
our men from advancing within the fortifications ('Conative');

ad proelium sē expediēbant, they were beginning to get ready for battle
('Inceptive').

4. The Imperfect, with jam, jam diū, jam dūdum, etc., is sometimes used of an action which
had been continuing some time; as,—

domicilium Rōmae multōs jam annōs habēbat, he had had his

residence at Rome for many years (i.e. he had it at this time and had long had it).

Present Indicative. 182

 New Latin Grammar

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, dīcēs, 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,—

nōvī, cognōvī, I know (lit. I have become acquainted with);

cōnsuēvī, 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,—

Rēgulus in senātum vēnit, mandāta exposuit, reddī

captivōs negāvit esse ūtile, 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 Rhēnum trānsīre dēcrēverat, sed

nāvēs deerant, Caesar had decided to cross the Rhine, but had no boats.

a. In those verbs whose Perfect has Present force (§ 262, A), the Pluperfect has the force of an
Imperfect; as,—

nōveram, I knew.

Future Perfect Indicative.

264. The Future Perfect denotes an action completed in future time. Thus:—

scrībam 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.

Future Indicative. 183

 New Latin Grammar
b. In those verbs whose Perfect has Present force (§ 262, A) the Future Perfect has the force of
a Future; as,—

nōverō, 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 habēbam quod scrīberem, neque enim novī quidquam

audieram et ad tuās omnēs epistulās jam rescrīpseram, 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 §§ 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,—

videō quid faciās, I see what you are doing.

vidēbō quid faciās, I shall see what you are doing.

vīderō quid faciās, I shall have seen what you are doing.

videō quid fēcerīs, I see what you have done.

vidēbō quid fēcerīs, I shall see what you have done.

vīderō quid fēcerīs, I shall have seen what you have done.

HISTORICAL SEQUENCE,—

vidēbam quid facerēs, I saw what you were doing.

vīdī quid facerēs, I saw what you were doing.

Future Perfect Indicative. 184

 New Latin Grammar

vīderam quid facerēs, I had seen what you were doing.

vidēbam quid fēcissēs, I saw what you had done.

vīdī quid fēcissēs, I saw what you had done.

vīderam quid fēcissēs, 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,—

dēmōnstrāvī quārē ad causam accēderem, 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 quālēs deī essent, I seem to have shown of what

nature the gods are (ostendisse here corresponds to an Indicative, ostendī, I showed).

3. The Historical Present is sometimes regarded as a principal tense, sometimes as historical. Thus:—

Sulla suōs hortātur ut fortī animō sint, Sulla exhorts his soldiers
to be stout-hearted;

Gallōs hortātur 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 tāle est ut, vel sī ignōrārent id hominēs,

suā tamen pulchritūdine laudabīle 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,—

sī sōlōs eōs dīcerēs miserōs, quibus

moriendum esset, nēminem tū quidem eōrum quī
vīverent exciperēs, 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:—

Sequence of Tenses. 185

 New Latin Grammar

rēx tantum mōtus est, ut Tissaphernem hostem jūdicārit, 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, jūdicārit in the above
example corresponds to adjūdicāvit, 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,—

Verrēs Siciliam ita perdidit ut ea restituī nōn possit, Verres so ruined

Sicily that it cannot be restored (Direct statement: nōn potest restitui);

ārdēbat Hortēnsius dīcendī cupiditāte sīc,

ut in nūllō flagrantius studium vīderim, Hortensius burned so with
eagerness to speak that I have seen in no one a greater desire (Direct statement: in
nūllō vīdī, 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,—

nesciō quid causae fuerit cūr nūllās ad mē litterās

darēs, 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:—

Gallī pollicentur sē factūrōs, quae Caesar imperet, the Gauls

promise they will do what Caesar shall order;

Peculiarities of Sequence. 186

 New Latin Grammar

Gallī pollicēbantur sē factūrōs, quae Caesar

imperāret, the Gauls promised they would do what Caesar should order;

Gallī pollicentur sē factūrōs quae Caesar imperāverit,

the Gauls promise they will do what Caesar shall have ordered;

Gallī pollicēbantur sē factūrōs quae Caesar

imperāvisset, 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:—

timeō nē veniat, I am afraid he will come;

Caesar exspectābat quid cōnsilī hostēs caperent, Caesar was

waiting to see what plan the enemy would adopt.

3. Where greater definiteness is necessary, the periphrastic forms in -ūrus sim and -ūrus essem
are employed, especially in clauses of Result, Indirect Questions, and after nōn dubitō
quīn; as,—

nōn dubitō quīn pater ventūrus sit, I do not doubt that my father
will come;

nōn dubitābam quīn pater ventūrus 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, brevī, statim, etc., in connection with the Present
and Imperfect Subjunctive; as,—

nōn dubitō quīn tē mox hūjus reī paeniteat, I do

not doubt that you will soon repent of this thing;

nōn dubitābam quīn haec rēs brevī

cōnficerētur, 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,—

vidētur honōrēs adsequī, he seems to be gaining honors;

vidēbātur honōrēs adsequī, he seemed to be gaining

honors.

Method of Expressing Future Time in the Subjunctive. 187

 New Latin Grammar

b) The Perfect Infinitive represents an act as prior to the time of the verb on which it depends;
as,—

vidētur honōrēs adsecūtus esse, he seems to have gained honors;

vīsus est honōrēs adsecūtus 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,—

vidētur honōrēs adsecūtūrus esse, he seems to be about to

gain honors;

vīsus est honōrēs adsecūtūrus 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 dēbuī,
oportuit, potuī (dēbēbam, oportēbat, poteram), with the Present Infinitive;
as,—

dēbuit dīcere, he ought to have said (lit. owed it to say);

opōrtuit venīre, he ought to have come;

potuit vidēre, he might have seen.

a. Oportuit, volō, nōlō (and in poetry some other verbs), may take a
Perfect Infinitive instead of the Present; as,—

hōc jam prīdem 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 futūrum esse ut, with the Subjunctive; as,—

spērō fore ut tē paeniteat levitātis, I hope you will repent of your
fickleness (lit. hope it will happen that you repent);

spērō futūrum esse ut hostēs 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,—

spērō fore ut hostēs vincantur, I hope the enemy will be conquered.

4. Passives and Deponents sometimes form a Future Perfect Infinitive with fore; as,—

spērō epistulam scrīptam fore, I hope the letter will have been written;

dīcō mē 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 dīcere, I might say much;

poteram multa dīcere, I might have said much (§ 270, 2).

b) In such expressions as longum est, aequum est, melius est, difficile est, ūtilius est,
and some others; as,—

longum est ea dīcere, it would be tedious to tell that;

difficile est omnia persequī, 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 nē. Thus:—

eāmus, let us go;

amēmus patriam, let us love our country;

nē dēspērēmus, let us not despair.

B. JUSSIVE SUBJUNCTIVE.

THE MOODS. 189

 New Latin Grammar

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,—

dīcat, let him tell;

dīcant, let them tell;

quārē sēcēdant improbī, wherefore let the wicked depart!

2. Less frequently in the second person, often with indefinite force; as,—

istō bonō ūtāre, use that advantage;

modestē vīvās, live temperately.

C. PROHIBITIVE SUBJUNCTIVE.

276. The Subjunctive is used in the second and third persons singular and plural, with nē, to express a
prohibition. Both Present and Perfect occur, and without appreciable difference of meaning; as,—

nē repugnētis, do not resist!

tū vērō istam nē relīquerīs, don't leave her!

impiī nē plācāre audeant deōs, 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

nōlī (nōlīte) with a following infinitive, or by cavē or
cavē nē with the Subjunctive; as,—

nōlī hōc facere, don't do this (lit. be unwilling to do)!

nōlīte mentīrī, do not lie!

cavē ignōscās, cavē tē misereat, do not forgive, do not

pity!

cavē nē haec faciās, 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 nōn. Thus:—

quid faciam, what shall I do?

The Subjunctive in Independent Sentences. 190

 New Latin Grammar

ego redeam, I go back!

huic cēdāmus! hūjus condiciōnēs audiāmus! are we

to bow to him! are we to listen to his terms!

quid facerem, what was I to do?

hunc ego nōn dīligam, 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 nē. Thus:—

sit hōc vērum, I grant that this is true (lit. let this be true);

nē sint in senectūte vīrēs, I grant there is not strength in old age;

fuerit malus cīvis aliīs; tibi quandō 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 nē.

1. The Present Tense, often accompanied by utinam, is used where the wish is conceived of as possible.

dī istaec prohibeant, may the gods prevent that!

falsus utinam vātēs sim, oh that I may be a false prophet!

nē 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 animō dīcerēs, would that you were saying that in
earnest (i.e. I regret that you are not saying it in earnest);

Pēlīdēs utinam vītāsset Apollinis arcūs, would that

Achilles had escaped the bow of Apollo;

utinam nē nātus essem, would that I had not been born.

POTENTIAL SUBJUNCTIVE.

The Subjunctive in Independent Sentences. 191

 New Latin Grammar

280. The Potential Subjunctive expresses a possibility. The negative is nōn. 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:—

dīcat aliquis, some one may say;

dīxerit 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:—

fortūnam citius reperiās quam retineās, one would more quickly find
Fortune than keep it (i.e. if one should make the trial);

crēdiderim, I should believe.

a. Here belongs the use of velim, mālim, nōlim, as softened forms of statement
for volō, mālō, nōlō. Thus:—

velim mihi ignōscās, I wish you would forgive me;

nōlim putēs mē jocārī, 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 § 303); as,—

diēs dēficiat, sī cōner ēnumerāre causās,

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; § 356, 3) of a few verbs of perceiving, seeing, thinking, and the like;
as,—

videās, cernās, one can see, one can perceive;

crēderēs, one could believe;

vidērēs, cernerēs, one could see, perceive;

putārēs, one could imagine.

4. The Imperfect and Pluperfect in the Apodosis of conditional sentences of the contrary-to-fact type (see §
304) are also Potential in character. By omission of the Protasis, such an Apodosis sometimes stands alone,
particularly vellem, nōllem, māllem; as,—

The Subjunctive in Independent Sentences. 192

 New Latin Grammar

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 nē), as,—

ēgredere ex urbe, depart from the city;

mihi ignōsce, pardon me;

valē, 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 vōbīs prōpōnam; vōs eam penditōte, I will lay

the matter before you; do you (then) consider it;

sī bene disputābit, tribuitō litterīs Graecis, if he shall speak

well, attribute it to Greek literature.

b) In laws, treaties, wills, maxims, etc.; as,—

cōnsulēs summum jūs habentō, the consuls shall have supreme

power;

hominem mortuom in urbe nē sepelītō, no one shall bury a dead body
in the city;

amīcitia rēgī Antiochō cum populō

Rōmānō hīs legibus et condiciōnibus estō, let there
be friendship between Antiochus and the Roman people on the following terms and
conditions;

quārtae estō partis Mārcus hērēs, let Marcus be heir to a

fourth (of the property);

ignōscitō saepe alterī, 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 § 276, b.

3. Questions in the Indicative introduced by quīn (why not?) are often equivalent to an Imperative or to
the Hortatory Subjunctive; as,—

quīn abīs, go away! (lit. why don't you go away?);

The Imperative. 193

 New Latin Grammar

quīn vōcem continētis, keep still! (lit. why don't you stop your voices?);

quīn equōs cōnscendimus, 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 (utī), quō (that, in order that),
nē (in order that not, lest), and stand in the Subjunctive, as,—

edimus ut vīvāmus, we eat that we may live;

adjūtā mē quō hōc fīat facilius, help me, in order

that this may be done more easily;

portās clausit, nē quam oppidānī injūriam acciperent, he

closed the gates, lest the townspeople should receive any injury.

a. Quō, as a rule, is employed only when the purpose clause contains a comparative or
a comparative idea. Occasional exceptions occur; as,—

haec faciunt quō Chremētem absterreant, they are doing this in order to
frighten Chremes.

b. Ut nē is sometimes found instead of nē. Thus:—

ut nē quid neglegenter agāmus, in order that we may not do anything

carelessly.

c. Ut nōn (not nē) is used where the negation belongs to some single word,
instead of to the purpose clause as a whole. Thus:—

ut nōn ējectus ad aliēnōs, sed invītātus ad

tuōs videāre, 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 nēve (neu); as,—

ut eārum rērum vīs minuerētur, neu pontī

nocērent, that the violence of these things might be lessened, and that they might not
harm the bridge;

profūgit, nē caperētur nēve interficerētur, he fled, that he

might not be captured or killed.

e. But neque (for nēve) 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 nē.

Clauses of Purpose. 194

 New Latin Grammar

f. Purpose Clauses sometimes stand in apposition with a preceding noun or pronoun:

as,—

hāc causā, ut pācem habērent, on this account, that they might

have peace.

2. A Relative Pronoun (quī) or Adverb (ubi, unde, quō) is frequently used to introduce a
Purpose Clause; as,—

Helvētiī lēgātōs mittunt, quī dīcerent, the

Helvetii sent envoys to say (lit. who should say);

haec habuī, dē senectūte quae dīcerem, I had these things to say
about old age;

nōn habēbant quō sē reciperent, they had no place to which to

flee (lit. whither they might flee).

a. Quī in such clauses is equivalent to ut is, ut ego, etc.; ubi to ut ibi; unde to ut
inde; quō to ut eō.

3. Relative Clauses of purpose follow dignus, indignus, and idōneus; as,—

idōneus fuit nēmō quem imitārēre, there was no one

suitable for you to imitate (cf. nēmō fuit quem imitārēre, there
was no one for you to imitate);

dignus est quī aliquandō 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,—

Catō, senex jūcundus, quī Sapiēns appellātus 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.'

Clauses of Characteristic. 195

 New Latin Grammar

2. Clauses of Characteristic are used especially after such expressions as, est quī; sunt quī;
nēmō est quī; nūllus est quī; ūnus est quī; sōlus est
quī; quis est quī; is quī; etc. Thus:—

sunt quī dīcant, there are (some) who say;

nēmō est quī nesciat, there is nobody who is ignorant;

sapientia est ūna quae maestitiam pellat, philosophy is the only thing that drives
away sorrow;

quae cīvitās est quae nōn ēvertī possit, what state is there
that cannot be overthrown?

nōn is sum quī improbōs 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,—

nōn longius hostēs aberant quam quō tēlum adigī

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, quīppe, utpote;

as,—

ō fortūnāte adulēscēns, quī tuae virtūtis

Homērum praecōnem invēnerīs, O fortunate man, since you
have found a Homer as the herald of your valor;

ut quī optimō jūre eam prōvinciam obtinuerit, since he held

that province by excellent right.

b) Opposition:—

egomet quī sērō Graecās litterās attigissem, tamen

complūrēs diēs Athēnīs commorātus 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 quīn = quī (quae, quod) nōn;
as,—

nēmō est quīn saepe audierit, there is no one who has not often heard;

nēmō fuit mīlitum quīn vulnerārētur, there was

no one of the soldiers who was not wounded.

Clauses of Characteristic. 196

 New Latin Grammar

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 nōn (so that not), and
take the Subjunctive. The main clause often contains tantus, tālis, tot, is (= tālis), tam, ita,
sīc, adeō, or some similar word. Thus:—

quis tam dēmēns est ut suā voluntāte maereat, who is so

senseless as to mourn of his own volition?

Siciliam ita vāstāvit ut restituī in antīquum statum nōn

possit, he so ravaged Sicily that it cannot be restored to its former condition;

mōns altissimus impendēbat, ut facile perpaucī prohibēre

possent, a very high mountain overhung, so that a very few could easily stop them;

nōn is es ut tē pudor umquam ā turpitūdine

āvocārit, 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, quī (= ut is), quō (= ut
eō), etc.; as,—

nēmō est tam senex quī sē annum nōn putet posse
vīvere, nobody is so old as not to think he can live a year;

habētis eum cōnsulem quī pārēre vestrīs

dēcrētīs nōn 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 quīn = ut nōn; as,—

nihil tam difficile est quīn quaerendō invēstīgārī

possit, nothing is so difficult that it cannot be discovered by searching;

nēmō est tam fortis quīn reī novitāte perturbētur,

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 mūnītior quam ut prīmō impetū capī

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.).

Clauses of Result. 197

 New Latin Grammar

Causal Clauses.

285. Causal clauses are introduced chiefly by the following particles:—

1. Quod, quia, quoniam.

2. Cum.

3. Quandō.

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:—

Parthōs timeō quod diffīdō cōpiīs nostrīs, I

fear the Parthians, because I distrust our troops.

Themistoclēs, quia nōn tūtus erat, Corcyram dēmigrāvit,

Themistocles, since he was not safe, moved to Corcyra.

neque mē vīxisse paenitet, quoniam bene vīxī, I do not regret

having lived, since I have lived well.

Sōcratēs accūsātus est quod corrumperet juventūtem,

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.)

Haeduī Caesarī grātiās ēgērunt quod sē

perīculō līberāvisset, the Haedui thanked Caesar because he had
delivered them from danger. (The reason of the Haedui.)

quoniam Miltiadēs dīcere nōn posset, verba prō eō

fēcit Tīsagorās, since Miltiades could not speak, Tisagoras spoke for
him. (The reason of Tisagoras.)

noctū ambulābat Themistoclēs, quod somnum capere nōn

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:—

Bellovacī suum numerum nōn complēvērunt quod sē

suō nōmine cum Rōmānīs bellum gestūrōs
dīcerent, the Bellovaci did not furnish their complement, because they said they were
going to wage war with the Romans on their own account.

b. Nōn quod, nōn quō (by attraction for nōn eō quod),
nōn quia, not that, not because; and nōn quod nōn, nōn
quō nōn, nōn quīn, not that ... not; not because ... not; not but

Causal Clauses. 198

 New Latin Grammar

that, are usually employed merely to introduce a hypothetical reason, and hence take the
Subjunctive; as,—

id fēcī, nōn quod vōs hanc dēfēnsiōnem

dēsīderāre arbitrārer, sed ut omnēs intellegerent, this I
did, not because I thought you needed this defense, but that all might perceive;

Crassō commendātiōnem nōn sum pollicitus, nōn

quīn eam valitūram apud tē arbitrārer, sed egēre mihi
commendātiōne nōn vidēbātur, 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 nōn quod, nōn quīa take the Indicative if
they state a fact, even though that fact is denied to be the reason for something; as,—

hōc ita sentiō, nōn quia sum ipse augur, sed quia sīc
exīstimāre nōs 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 īta sint, since this is so;

cum sīs mortālis, quae mortālia sunt, cūrā, since you are
mortal, care for what is mortal.

a. Note the phrase cum praesertim (praesertim cum), especially since; as,—

Haeduōs accūsat, praesertim cum eōrum precibus adductus bellum

suscēperit, he blamed the Haedui, especially since he had undertaken the war at their
entreaties.

3. Quandō (less frequent than the other causal particles) governs the Indicative; as,—

id omittō, quandō vōbīs ita placet, I pass over that, since you so
wish.

Temporal Clauses introduced by Postquam, Ut, Ubi, Simul ac, etc.

287. 1. Postquam (posteāquam), after; ut, ubi, when; cum prīmum, simul, simul ac (simul
atque), as soon as, when used to refer to a single past act regularly take the Perfect Indicative; as,—

Epamīnōndās postquam audīvit vīcisse

Boeōtiōs, 'Satis' inquit 'vīxī,' Epaminondas, after he heard that
the Boeotians had conquered, said, 'I have lived enough;'

id ut audīvit, Corcyram dēmigrāvit, when he heard this, he moved to

Corcyra;

Temporal Clauses introduced by Postquam, Ut, Ubi, Simul ac, etc. 199
 New Latin Grammar

Caesar cum prīmum potuit, ad exercitum contendit, Caesar, as soon as he could,

hurried to the army;

ubi dē Caesaris adventū certiōrēs factī sunt,

lēgātōs 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 §§ 288, 3; 302, 3); as,—

ut quisque Verris animum offenderat, in lautumiās statim

coniciēbātur, whenever anybody had offended Verres's feelings, he was
forthwith put in the stone-quarry;

hostēs, ubi aliquōs ēgredientēs cōnspexerant,

adoriēbantur, 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 dīxisset hastam mittēbat, 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, trienniō postquam. Thus:—

quīnque post diēbus quam Lūcā discesserat, ad Sardiniam

vēnit five days after he had departed from Luca he came to Sardinia;

postquam occupātae Syrācūsae erant, profectus est

Carthāginem, after Syracuse had been seized, he set out for Carthage.

4. The Imperfect Indicative also sometimes occurs, to denote a continued state; as,—

postquam Rōmam adventābant, senātus cōnsultus est, after

they were on the march toward Rome, the Senate was consulted;

postquam strūctī utrimque stābant, after they had been drawn up on

both sides and were in position.

5. Rarely postquam, posteāquam, following the analogy of cum, take the Subjunctive, but only in the
historical tenses; as,—

posteāquam sūmptuōsa fieri fūnera coepissent, lēge

sublāta sunt, after funerals had begun to be elaborate, they were done away with by
law.

Temporal Clauses introduced by Postquam, Ut, Ubi, Simul ac, etc. 200
 New Latin Grammar

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 erās cōnsul, cum in Palātiō mea domus

ārdēbat, or were you consul at the time when my house burned up on the
Palatine?

crēdō tum cum Sicilia flōrēbat opibus et cōpiīs

magna artificia fuisse in eā īnsulā, I believe that at the time when Sicily
was powerful in riches and resources there were great crafts in that island;

eō tempore pāruit cum pārēre necesse erat, he obeyed at the

time when it was necessary to obey;

illō diē, cum est lāta lēx dē mē, on that day when
the law concerning me was passed.

SUBJUNCTIVE.

Lysander cum vellet Lycūrgī lēgēs commūtāre,

prohibitus est, when Lysander desired to change the laws of Lycurgus, he was prevented;

Pythagorās cum in geōmetriā quiddam novī invēnisset,

Mūsīs bovem immolāsse dīcitur, 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, eō diē,
eō annō, eō 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,
aegrē, nōndum; as,—

jam Gallī ex oppidō fugere apparābant, cum mātrēs

familiae repente prōcurrērunt, the Gauls were already preparing to flee, when

Temporal Clauses introduced by Cum. 201

 New Latin Grammar

suddenly the matrons rushed forth (logically, the matrons rushed forth as the Gauls were
preparing to flee);

Trēvirī Labiēnum adorīrī parābant, cum

duās legiōnēs vēnisse cognōscunt, 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 §§ 287, 2; 302, 3); as,—

cum ād aliquod oppidum vēnerat, eādem lectīcā ad

cubiculum dēferēbātur, whenever he had arrived at some town, he was
(always) carried in the same litter to his room;

cum equitātus noster sē in agrōs ējēcerat,

essedāriōs ex silvīs ēmittēbat, 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 vidēret minus bene vestītum, suum amiculum dedit,
often, wherever he saw some one more poorly clothed, he gave him his own mantle;

cum prōcucurrissent, Numidae effugiēbant, 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 rēs agitur, pariēs cum proximus ārdet, your own interests are
at stake when your neighbor's house is burning;

cum vidēbis, tum sciēs, when you see, then you will know.

a. The Indicative of the Present or Future may denote also a recurring action; as,—

stabilitās amīcitiae cōnfirmārī potest, cum

hominēs cupīdinibus imperābunt, 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 clāmant, their silence is a shout (lit. when they are silent, they shout).

Temporal Clauses introduced by Cum. 202

 New Latin Grammar

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 tē semper dīlēxerim, tum tuīs factīs

incēnsus 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 respondēs quam rogō, you answer before I ask;

nihil contrā disputābō priusquam dīxerit, I will say nothing in

opposition, before he speaks.

2. Sometimes the Perfect, especially after negative clauses; as,—

nōn prius jugulandī fīnis fuit, quam Sulla omnēs suōs

dīvitiīs explēvit, 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 dīmicārent, foedus īctum 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,—

tempestās minātur antequam surgat, the tempest threatens before it rises.

b) An act anticipated and forestalled; as,—

priusquam tēlum adicī posset, omnis aciēs terga vertit, before a spear
could be hurled, the whole army fled.

c) An act anticipated and deprecated; as,—

Clauses introduced by Antequam and Priusquam. 203

 New Latin Grammar

animum omittunt priusquam locō dēmigrent, 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,—

sōl antequam sē abderet fugientem vīdit Antōnium, the sun

before it set saw Antony fleeing.

Clauses introduced by Dum, Dōnec, Quoad.

293. 1. Dum, while, regularly takes the Indicative of the Historical Present; as,—

Alexander, dum inter prīmōrēs pugnat, sagittā ictus est,

Alexander, while he was fighting in the van, was struck by an arrow;

dum haec geruntur, in fīnēs Venellōrum pervēnit, while these

things were being done, he arrived in the territory of the Venelli.

II. Dum, dōnec, and quoad, as long as, take the Indicative; as,—

dum anima est, spēs est, as long as there is life, there is hope;

Lacedaemoniōrum gēns fortis fuit, dum Lycūrgī

lēgēs vigēbant, the race of the Lacedaemonians was powerful, as long as
the laws of Lycurgus were in force;

Catō, quoad vīxit, virtūtum laude crēvit, Cato, at long as he

lived, increased in the fame of his virtues.

III. Dum, dōnec, and quoad, until, take:—

1. The Indicative, to denote an actual event; as,—

dōnec rediit, fuit silentium, there was silence till he came;

ferrum in corpore retinuit, quoad renūntiātum est Boeōtiōs

vīcisse, he kept the iron in his body until word was brought that the Boeotians had
conquered.

a. In Livy and subsequent historians dum and dōnec in this sense often take the
Subjunctive instead of the Indicative; as,—

trepidātiōnis aliquantum ēdēbant dōnec timor

quiētem fēcisset, they showed some trepidation, until fear produced quiet.

2. The Subjunctive, to denote anticipation or expectancy; as,—

exspectāvit Caesar dum nāvēs convenīrent, Caesar waited for

the ships to assemble;

Clauses introduced by Dum, Dōnec, Quoad. 204

 New Latin Grammar

dum litterae veniant, morābor, 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,
nē, or ut nē); as,—

postulō ut fīat, I demand that it be done (dependent form of the Jussive

fīat, let it be done!);

ōrat, nē abeās, he begs that you will not go away;

mīlitēs cohortātus est ut hostium impetum sustinērent, he

exhorted his soldiers to withstand the attack of the enemy;

Helvētiīs persuāsit ut exīrent, he persuaded the Helvetii to

march forth.

a. Jubeō, command, order, regularly takes the Infinitive.

2. With verbs signifying to grant, concede, permit, allow,[52] etc. (conjunction ut); as,—

huic concēdō ut ea praetereat, I allow him to pass that by (dependent form of

the Jussive ea praetereat, let him pass that by!);

cōnsulī permissum est ut duās legiōnēs scrīberet,

the consul was permitted to enroll two legions.

3. With verbs of hindering, preventing,[53] etc. (conjunctions nē, quōminus, quīn);

as,—

nē lūstrum perficeret, mors prohibuit, death prevented him from finishing the
lustrum (dependent form after past tense of nē lūstrum perficiat, let him not
finish, etc.);

prohibuit quōminus in ūnum coīrent, he prevented them from coming

together;

nec quīn ērumperet, prohibērī poterat, nor could he be

prevented from rushing forth.

a. Quīn 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.

Substantive Clauses. 205

 New Latin Grammar

4. With verbs of deciding, resolving,[54] etc. (conjunctions ut, nē, or ut nē); as,—

cōnstitueram ut prīdiē Īdūs Aquīnī

manērem, I had decided to remain at Aquinum on the 12th;

dēcrēvit senātus ut Opīmius vidēret, the Senate decreed

that Opimius should see to it;

convēnit ut ūnīs castrīs miscērentur, it was agreed that

they should be united in one camp.

5. With verbs of striving,[55] etc. (conjunctions ut, nē, or ut nē); as,—

fac ut eum exōrēs, see to it that you prevail upon him!

cūrā ut vir sīs, see to it that you are a man!

labōrābat ut reliquās cīvitātēs adjungeret, he was

striving to join the remaining states to him.

a. Cōnor, 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 redeās, you may return;

oportet loquāmur, we must speak.

On the absence of ut with licet and oportet, see paragraph 8.

7. Here also belong phrases of the type: nūlla causa est cūr, quīn; nōn est
cūr, etc.; nihil est cūr, etc.; as,—

nūlla causa est cūr timeam, there is no reason why I should fear (originally
Deliberative: why should I fear? There's no reason);

nihil est quīn dīcam, 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:—

eōs moneō dēsinant, I warn them to stop;

huic imperat adeat cīvitātēs, he orders him to visit the states.

A. Substantive Clauses developed from the Volitive. 206

 New Latin Grammar

B. Substantive Clauses developed from the Optative.

296. Substantive Clauses Developed from the Optative occur:—

1. With verbs of wishing, desiring, especially cupiō, optō, volō, mālō

(conjunctions ut, nē, ut nē); as,—

optō ut in hōc jūdiciō nēmō improbus

reperiātur, I hope that in this court no bad man may be found (here ut
reperiātur represents a simple optative of direct statement, viz. reperiātur, may
no bad man be found!);

cupiō nē veniat, I desire that he may not come.

a. The simple Subjunctive (without ut) sometimes occurs with verbs of this class. (See § 295,
8.) Examples are: velim scrībās, I wish you would write; vellem
scrīpsisset, I wish he had written.

2. With expressions of fearing (timeō, metuō, vereor, etc.). Here nē means that, lest, and
ut means that not; as,—

timeō nē veniat, I fear that he will come (originally: may he not come! I'm
afraid [he will]);

timeō ut veniat, I fear that he will not come (originally: may he come! I'm afraid [he
won't]).

a. Nē nōn 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,—

nōn vereor ne hōc nōn fīat, I am not afraid that this will not
happen;

vereor nē exercitum fīrmum habēre nōn possit, I fear that he is

unable (nōn possit) to have a strong army.

C. Substantive Clauses of Result.

297. Substantive Clauses of Result (introduced by ut, ut nōn) 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 faciō, efficiō,

cōnficiō). Thus:—

gravitās morbī facit ut medicīnā egeāmus, the severity of

disease makes us need medicine.

2. As the subject of several impersonal verbs, particularly fit, efficitur, accidit, ēvenit, contingit,
accēdit, fierī potest, fore, sequitur, relinquitur. Thus:—

B. Substantive Clauses developed from the Optative. 207

 New Latin Grammar
ex quō efficitur, ut voluptās nōn sit summum bonum, from which it
follows that pleasure is not the greatest good;

ita fit, ut nēmō esse possit beātus, thus it happens that no one can be
happy;

accēdēbat ut nāvēs deessent, another thing was the lack of ships

(lit. it was added that ships were lacking).

3. As predicate or appositive after expressions like jūs est, mōs est,

cōnsuētūdō est; also after neuter pronouns, hōc, illud, etc. Thus:—

est mōs hominum ut nōlint eundem plūribus rēbus excellere, it

is the way of men not to wish the same person to excel in many things.

D. Substantive Clauses introduced by Quīn.

298. Substantive Clauses introduced by quīn (used sometimes as subject, sometimes as object) occur
after negative and interrogative expressions of doubt, omission, and the like, particularly after nōn
dubitō, I do not doubt; quis dubitat, who doubts?; nōn (haud) dubium est, there is no doubt.
The mood is the Subjunctive. Examples:—

quis dubitat quīn in virtūte dīvitiae sint, who doubts that in virtue
there are riches?

nōn dubium erat quīn ventūrus 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
quīn-clause after nōn dubitō; as,—

nōn dubitāmus inventōs esse, we do not doubt that men were found

b. Nōn dubitō, I do not hesitate, is regularly followed by the Infinitive, though

sometimes by a quīn-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 hōc, id, illud, illa, ex eō,

inde, etc. Thus:—

illud est admīrātiōne dignum, quod captīvōs

retinendōs cēnsuit, this is especially worthy of admiration, that he thought the
prisoners ought to be kept;

hōc ūnō praestāmus vel maximē ferīs, quod

colloquimur inter nōs, in this one respect we are especially superior to the beasts,

C. Substantive Clauses of Result. 208

 New Latin Grammar

that we talk with each other.

b) After bene fit, bene accidit, male fit, bene facere, mīror, etc.; as,—

bene mihi ēvenit, quod mittor ad mortem, it is well for me that I am sent to death;

bene fēcistī quod mānsistī, 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 multitūdinem Germānōrum in Galliam

trādūcō, id meī mūniendī causā faciō,
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 mē Agamemnona aemulārī putās, 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 § 162) they may be
introduced—

a) By Interrogative Pronouns or Adverbs; as,—

dīc mihi ubi fuerīs, quid fēcerīs, tell me where you were, what
you did;

oculīs jūdicārī nōn potest in utram partem fluat Arar, it

cannot be determined by the eye in which direction the Arar flows;

bis bīna quot essent, nesciēbat, 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 nēmō id potest quod futūrum est, no one can escape what is
destined to come to pass; but saepe autem ne ūtile quidem est scīre quid
futūrum 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,—

Epamīnōndās quaesīvit num salvus esset clipeus, or salvusne

esset clipeus, Epaminondas asked whether his shield was safe;

disputātur num interīre virtūs in homine possit, the question is raised

whether virtue can die in a man;

E. Substantive Clauses Introduced by Quod. 209

 New Latin Grammar

ex Sōcrate quaesītum est nōnne Archelāum beātum

putāret, the question was asked of Socrates whether he did not think Archelaus happy.

NOTE.—Nōnne in Indirect Questions occurs only after quaerō, as in the last example
above.

2. Often the Indirect Question represents a Deliberative Subjunctive of the direct discourse; as,—

nesciō quid faciam, I do not know what to do. (Direct: quid faciam, what shall I do!)

3. After verbs of expectation and endeavor (exspectō, cōnor, experior, temptō) we

sometimes find an Indirect Question introduced by sī; as,—

cōnantur sī perrumpere possint, they try whether they can break through.

a. Sometimes the governing verb is omitted; as,—

pergit ad proximam spēluncam sī forte eō vēstīgia

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 (§
162, 4); viz.;—

utrum ... an;

-ne ... an;

—— ... an;

—— ... ne.

Examples:—

quaerō utrum vērum an falsum sit, }

quaerō vērumne an falsum sit, } I ask whether it
quaerō vērum an falsum sit, } is true or false?
quaerō vērum falsumne sit, }
a. 'Or not' in the second member of the double question is ordinarily expressed by necne, less
frequently by an nōn; as,—

dī utrum sint necne, quaeritur, it is asked whether there are gods or not.

5. Haud sciō an, nesciō 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 sciō 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.

F. Indirect Questions. 210

 New Latin Grammar

301. Conditional Sentences are compound sentences (§ 164) consisting of two parts, the Protasis (or
condition), usually introduced by sī, nisi, or sīn, 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,—

sī hōc crēdis, errās, if you believe this, you are mistaken;

nātūram sī sequēmur, numquam aberrābimus, if we

follow Nature, we shall never go astray;

sī hōc dīxistī, errāstī, if you said this, you were in

error.

2. Sometimes the Protasis takes the Indefinite Second Person Singular (§ 356, 3) of the Present or Perfect
Subjunctive, with the force of the Indicative; as,—

memoria minuitur, nisi eam exerceās, memory is impaired unless you exercise it.

3. Here belong also those conditional sentences in which the Protasis denotes a repeated action (compare §§
287, 2; 288, 3); as,—

sī quis equitum dēciderat, peditēs circumsistēbant, 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,—

sī dīcendō quis diem eximeret, if (ever) anybody consumed a day in

pleading; sī quandō adsidēret, 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,—

sī hōc crēditis, tacēte, if you believe this, be silent;

sī hōc crēdimus, taceāmus, 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,—

sī hōc dīcās, errēs, or sī hōc

dīxerīs, errāverīs, if you should say this, you would be mistaken;

First Type.—Nothing Implied as to the Reality of the Supposed Case. 211

 New Latin Grammar

sī velim Hannibalis proelia omnia dēscrībere, diēs mē

dēficiat, if I should wish to describe all the battles of Hannibal, time would fail me;

mentiar, sī negem, I should lie, if I should deny it;

haec sī tēcum patria loquātur, nōnne impetrāre

dēbeat, 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 sī faciat, nūllam habet auctōritātem, 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,—

sī amīcī meī adessent, opis nōn indigērem, if my

friends were here, I should not lack assistance;

sī hōc dīxissēs, errāssēs, if you had said this, you

would have erred;

sapientia nōn expeterētur, sī nihil efficeret, philosophy would not be

desired, if it accomplished nothing;

cōnsilium, ratiō, sententia nisi essent in senibus, nōn summum

cōnsilium majōrēs nostrī appellāssent senātum,
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, Fūrius, Catō sī nihil litterīs adjuvārentur,

numquam sē ad eārum 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 sī ad centēsimum annum vīxisset, senectūtis eum

suae paenitēret, if he had lived to his hundredth year, would he have regretted (and
now be regretting) his old age?

Second Type.—'Should'-'Would' Conditions. 212

 New Latin Grammar

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 fēlīcitās in sōcordiam vertisset, exuere jugum

potuērunt, 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 locō colere dēbēbās, sī ūlla in tē

pietās esset, you ought to revere him as a father, if you had any sense of devotion.

b) With both the Periphrastic Conjugations; as,—

sī Sēstius occīsus esset, fuistisne ad arma itūrī, if Sestius

had been slain, would you have proceeded to arms?

sī ūnum diem morātī essētis, moriendum omnibus fuit,

if you had delayed one day, you would all have had to die.

Protasis expressed without Sī.

305. 1. The Protasis is not always expressed by a clause with sī, but may be implied in a word, a
phrase, or merely by the context; as,—

aliōquī haec nōn scrīberentur, otherwise (i.e. if matters were

otherwise) these things would not be written;

nōn potestis, voluptāte omnia dīrigentēs, retinēre

virtūtem, you cannot retain virtue, if you direct everything with reference to pleasure.

2. Sometimes an Imperative, or a Jussive Subjunctive, serves as Protasis. Thus:—

crās petitō, dabitur, if you ask to-morrow, it shall be given you (lit. ask
to-morrow, etc.);

haec reputent, vidēbunt, if they consider this, they will see (lit. let them consider,
etc.);

rogēs Zēnōnem, respondeat, if you should ask Zeno, he would answer.

Third Type.—Supposed Case Represented as Contrary to Fact. 213

 New Latin Grammar

Use of Nisi, Sī Nōn, Sīn.

306. 1. Nisi, unless, negatives the entire protasis; sī nōn negatives a single word; as,—

ferreus essem, nisi tē amārem, I should be hard-hearted unless I loved you;
but—

ferreus essem, sī tē nōn amārem, 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. Sī nōn (sī minus) is regularly employed:—

a) When an apodosis with at, tamen, certē follows; as,—

dolōrem sī nōn potuerō frangere, tamen

occultābō, if I cannot crush my sorrow, yet I will hide it.

b) When an affirmative protasis is repeated in negative form; as,—

sī fēceris, magnam habēbō grātiam; sī nōn

fēceris, ignōscam, 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,—

hōc sī assecūtus sum, gaudeō; sī minus, mē

cōnsōlor, if I have attained this, I am glad; if not, I console myself.

3. Sīn. Where one protasis is followed by another opposed in meaning, but affirmative in form, the
second is introduced by sīn; as,—

hunc mihi timōrem ēripe; sī vērus est, nē opprimar,

sīn falsus, ut timēre dēsinam, 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 (nōn, nēmō, nihil); as,—

nihil cōgitāvit nisi caedem, he had no thought but murder.

a. Nōn and nisi are always separated in the best Latinity.

5. Nisi forte, nisi vērō, nisi sī, unless perchance, unless indeed (often with ironical
force), take the Indicative; as,—

nisi vērō, quia perfecta rēs nōn est, nōn vidētur

pūnienda, unless indeed, because an act is not consummated, it does not seem to merit
punishment.

Use of Nisi, Sī Nōn, Sīn. 214

 New Latin Grammar

Conditional Clauses of Comparison.

307. 1. Conditional Clauses of Comparison are introduced by the particles, ac sī, ut sī, quasi,
quam sī, tamquam sī, velut sī, or simply by velut or tamquam. They stand in the
Subjunctive mood and regularly involve an ellipsis (see § 374, 1), as indicated in the following
examples:—

tantus patrēs metus cēpit, velat sī jam ad portās hostis esset, as
great fear seized the senators as (would have seized them) if the enemy were already at the
gates;

sed quid ego hīs testibus ūtor quasi rēs dubia aut obscūra sit,
but why do I use these witnesses, as (I should do) if the matter were doubtful or obscure;

serviam tibi tam quasi ēmerīs mē argentō, 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 § 278) as,—

sit fūr, sit sacrilegus, at est bonus imperātor, granted that he is a thief and a
robber, yet he is a good commander;

haec sint falsa, granted that this is false;

nē sit summum malum dolor, malum certē est, granted that pain is not the
greatest evil, yet it is certainly an evil.

Adversative Clauses with Quamvīs, Quamquam, etc.

309. Clauses introduced by quamvīs, quamquam, etsī, tametsī, 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. Quamvīs, 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,—

hominēs quamvīs in turbidīs rēbus sint, tamen interdum

animīs relaxantur, in however stirring events men may engage, yet at times they relax
their energies;

Conditional Clauses of Comparison. 215

 New Latin Grammar

nōn est potestās opitulandī reī pūblicae quamvīs

ea premātur perīculīs, there is no opportunity to succor the state,
though it be beset by dangers.

2. Quamquam, etsī, tametsī, although, introduce a statement of fact, and are followed by the
Indicative (of any tense); as,—

quamquam omnis virtūs nōs allicit, tamen jūstitia id maximē

efficit, although all virtue attracts us, yet justice does so especially;

Caesar, etsī nōndum cōnsilium hostium cognōverat, tamen id

quod accidit suspicābātur, Caesar, though he did not yet know the plans of the
enemy, yet was suspecting what actually occurred.

a. Etsī, although, must be distinguished from etsī, even if. The latter is a
conditional particle and takes any of the constructions admissible for sī. (See §§
302-304.)

3. Cum, although, is followed by the Subjunctive; as,—

Atticus honōrēs nōn petiit, cum eī patērent, Atticus did

not seek honors, though they were open to him.

4. Licet sometimes loses its verbal force (see § 295, 6) and sinks to the level of a conjunction with the force of
although. It takes the Subjunctive, Present or Perfect; as,—

licet omnēs terrōrēs 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 quamvīs is
often used to introduce statements of fact, and takes either the Indicative or the Subjunctive. Thus:—

quamquam movērētur hīs vōcibus, although he was moved by

these words;

quamvīs multī opīnārentur, though many thought;

quamvīs īnfēstō animō pervēnerās, 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 nē) and have two distinct uses:—

I. They are used to introduce clauses embodying a wish entertained by the subject of the leading verb;
as,—

Adversative Clauses with Quamvīs, Quamquam, etc. 216

 New Latin Grammar

multī honesta neglegunt dummodo potentiam cōnsequantur, many neglect

honor in their desire to obtain power (if only they may attain);

omnia postposuī, dum praeceptīs patris pārērem, I made

everything else secondary, in my desire to obey the injunctions of my father;

nīl obstat tibi, dum nē sit dītior 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,—

ōderint, 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;

nūbant, dum nē dōs 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, timeō Danaōs et dōna ferentēs, whatever it is, I

fear the Greeks even when they offer gifts;

quidquid oritur, quālecumque est, causam ā nātūrā

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 §§
302-304; as,—

quī hōc dīcit, errat, he who says this is mistaken (First Type);

quī hōc dīcat, erret, he would be mistaken who should say this (Second
Type);

quī hōc dīxisset, errāsset, the man who had said this would have
been mistaken.

INDIRECT DISCOURSE (ŌRĀTIŌ OBLĪQUA).

313. When the language or thought of any person is reproduced without change, that is called Direct
Discourse (Ōrātiō 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
(Ōrātiō Oblīqua); as, Caesar said that the die was cast; Caesar thought that his
troops were victorious.

Clauses with Dum, Modo, Dummodo, denoting a Wish or a Proviso. 217

 New Latin Grammar

a. For the verbs most frequently employed to introduce Indirect Discourse, see § 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,—

Rēgulus dīxit quam diū jūre jūrandō hostium

tenērētur nōn esse sē senātōrem, Regulus said that
as long as he was held by his pledge to the enemy he was not a senator. (Direct: quam
diū teneor nōn sum senātor.)

2. The verb of saying, thinking, etc., is sometimes to be inferred from the context; as,—

tum Rōmulus lēgātōs circā vīcīnās

gentēs mīsit quī societātem cōnūbiumque
peterent: urbēs quoque, ut cētera, ex īnfimō
nāscī, 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,—

nūntiātum est Ariovistum ad occupandum Vesontiōnem, quod est

oppidum maximum Sēquanōrum 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 quī is
equivalent to et hīc, nam hīc, etc.; as,—

dīxit urbem Athēniēnsium prōpugnāculum oppositum

esse barbarīs, apud quam jam bis classēs rēgiās fēcisse
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 nescīre Māgō dīceret, when Mago said he did not know
this (for sē nescīre).

Interrogative Sentences.

315. 1. Real questions of the Direct Discourse, upon becoming indirect, are regularly put in the Subjunctive;
as,—

INDIRECT DISCOURSE (ŌRĀTIŌ OBLĪQUA). 218

 New Latin Grammar
Ariovistus Caesarī respondit: sē prius in Galliam vēnisse quam
populum Rōmānum. Quid sibi vellet? Cūr in suās
possessiōnēs venīret, 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 vīs? cūr in meās possessiōnēs
venīs?)

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,—

mīlitēs certiōrēs fēcit paulisper intermitterent proelium,

he told the soldiers to stop the battle for a little. (Direct: intermittite.)

a. The negative in such sentences is nē; as,—

nē suae virtūtī 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 § 270.

a. The Perfect Infinitive may represent any past tense of the Indicative of Direct Discourse.
Thus:—

sciō tē haec ēgisse may mean—

I know you were doing this.(Direct: haec agēbās.)

I know you did this. (Direct: haec ēgistī.)

I know you had done this. (Direct: haec ēgerās.)

Interrogative Sentences. 219

 New Latin Grammar

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 (Repraesentātiō); as,—

Caesar respondit, sī obsidēs dentur, sēsē pācem esse

factūrum, Caesar replied that, if hostages be given, he would make peace.

a. For the sequence after the Perfect Infinitive, see § 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
(§§ 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.
dīcō, sī hōc crēdās,
sī hōc crēdis, tē errāre;
errās, dīxī, sī hōc crēderēs,
tē errāre.
dīcō, sī hōc crēdās,
sī hōc crēdēs, tē errātūrum esse;
errābis, dīxī, sī hōc crēderēs,
tē errātūrum esse.
dīcō, sī hōc crēderīs,
tē errātūrum esse;
sī hōc crēdideris,
dīxī, sī hōc
errābis,
crēdidissēs, tē errātūrum
esse.
dīcō, sī hōc crēderēs,
sī hōc
tē errāvisse;
crēdēbās,
dīxī, sī hōc crēderēs,
errāvistī,
tē errāvisse.
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.

B. Tenses of the Subjunctive. 220

 New Latin Grammar

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:—

dīcō, sī hōc crēdās,

sī hōc crēdās, tē errātūrum esse;
errēs, dīxī, sī hōc crēderēs,
tē errātūrum 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 -ūrus fuisse.

b) In the Passive Voice it takes the form futūrum fuisse ut with the Imperfect
Subjunctive.

B. THE PROTASIS. The protasis in Conditional Sentences of this type always remains unchanged.

Examples:—

dīcō (dīxī), sī hōc

sī hōc crēderēs,
crēderēs, tē errātūrum

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 quīn-clause (after nōn dubitō, etc.), it stands in the Perfect
Subjunctive in the form -ūrus fuerim; as,—

ita territī sunt, ut arma trāditūrī fuerint,[57] nisi Caesar

subitō advēnisset, they were so frightened that they would have given up their
arms, had not Caesar suddenly arrived;

Conditional Sentences of the Second Type. 221

 New Latin Grammar

nōn dubitō quīn, sī hōc dīxissēs,

errātūrus fuerīs,[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,—

nōn dubitō quīn, sī hōc dīxissēs,

vituperātus essēs, 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, -ūrus fuerim (rarely -ūrus fuissem) is used; as,—

quaerō, num, sī hōc dīxissēs, errātūrus

fuerīs (or fuissēs).

c. Potuī, when it becomes a dependent apodosis in sentences of this Type, usually

changes to the Perfect Subjunctive; as,—

concursū tōtīus civitātis dēfēnsī sunt, ut

frīgidissimōs quoque ōrātōrēs populī studia
excitāre 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,—

dēmōnstrābantur mihi praetereā, quae Sōcratēs

dē immortālitāte animōrum 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 omnēs librōs quōs pater suus relīquisset mihi

dōnāvit, 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,—

nēmō avārus adhūc inventus est, cui, quod habēret, esset

satis, no miser has yet been found who was satisfed with what he had;

cum dīversās causās afferrent, dum fōrmam suī quisque

et animī et ingeniī 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?

Conditional Sentences of the Third Type. 222

 New Latin Grammar
2. Similarly a subordinate clause dependent upon an Infinitive is put in the Subjunctive when the two form
one closely united whole; as,—

mōs est Athēnīs quotannīs in cōntiōne

laudārī eōs quī sint in proeliīs interfectī, 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 dulcēs occurrent ōscula nātī
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, dēlectat, placet, libet, licet, praestat, decet, pudet,
interest, etc.; as,—

dulce et decōrum est prō patriā morī, it is sweet and noble to die
for one's country;

virōrum est fortium toleranter dolōrem patī, it is the part of brave

men to endure pain with patience;

NOUN AND ADJECTIVE FORMS OF THE VERB. 223

 New Latin Grammar

senātuī placuit lēgātōs 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 īrācundum esse, aliud īrātum, it is one thing to be

irascible, another to be angry;

impūne quaelibet facere, id est rēgem 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 ōtiōsō
Themistoclī, 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—

volō, cupiō, mālō, cōgitō, meditor, purpose, intend;

nōlō, dēbeo, ought; neglegō, neglect;
statuō, cōnstituō, decide; vereor, timeō, fear;
audeō, dare; mātūrō, festīnō,
studeō, contendō, strive; properō, contendō, hasten;
parō, prepare (so parātus); assuēscō,
incipiō, coepī, īnstituō, cōnsuēscō, accustom myself (so
begin; assuētus, īnsuētus,
pergō, continue; assuēfactus);
dēsinō, dēsistō, cease; discō, learn;
possum, can; sciō, know how;
cōnor, try; soleō, am wont;
as,—

tū hōs intuērī audēs, do you dare to look on these men?

Dēmosthenēs ad flūctūs maris dēclāmāre

solēbat, 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,—

beātus esse sine virtūte nēmō potest, no one can be happy

without virtue;

Catō esse quam vidērī bonus mālēbat, Cato preferred to

be good rather than to seem so.

Infinitive without Subject Accusative. 224

 New Latin Grammar

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, ūtile est, turpe est, fāma est, spēs est,
fās est, nefās est, opus est, necesse est, oportet, cōnstat, praestat, licet, etc.;
as,—

nihil in bellō oportet contemnī, nothing ought to be despised in war;

apertum est sibi quemque nātūrā esse cārum, 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
Dēclārandī). This is the regular construction of Principal Clauses of Indirect Discourse.
Verbs that take this construction are, among others, the following: sentiō, audiō, videō,
cognōscō; putō, jūdicō, spērō, cōnfīdō;
sciō, meminī; dicō, affīrmō, negō (say that ... not),
trādō, nārrō, fateor, respondeō, scrībō,
prōmittō, glōrior. Also the phrases: certiōrem faciō (inform),
memoriā teneō (remember), etc.

Examples:—

Epicūrēī putant cum corporibus simul animōs interīre,

the Epicureans think that the soul perishes with the body;

Thalēs dīxit aquam esse initium rērum, Thales said that water was the
first principle of the universe;

Dēmocritus negat quicquid esse sempiternum, Democritus says nothing is

everlasting;

spērō eum ventūrum esse, I hope that he will come.

II. With jubeō, order, and vetō, forbid; as,—

Caesar mīlitēs 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 jubeō and vetō is put in the Passive; as, Caesar pontem
fierī jussit.

Infinitive with Subject Accusative. 225

 New Latin Grammar

III. With patior and sinō, permit, allow; as,—

nūllō sē implicārī negōtiō passus est, he did

not permit himself to be involved in any difficulty.

IV. With volō, nōlō, mālō, cupiō, when the Subject of the Infinitive is
different from that of the governing verb; as,—

nec mihi hunc errōrem extorquērī volō, nor do I wish this error
to be wrested from me;

eās rēs jactārī nōlēbat, he was unwilling that these

matters should be discussed;

tē tuā fruī virtūte 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 § 328, 1. But exceptions occur, especially in case of esse and Passive
Infinitives as,—

cupiō mē esse clēmentem, I desire to be lenient;

Tīmoleōn māluit sē diligī quam metuī, Timoleon

preferred to be loved rather than feared.

b. Volō also admits the Subjunctive, with or without ut; nōlō the
Subjunctive alone. (See § 296, 1, a.)

V. With Verbs of emotion (joy, sorrow, regret, etc.), especially gaudeō, laetor, doleō;
aegrē ferō, molestē ferō, graviter ferō, am annoyed, distressed;
mīror, queror, indignor; as,—

gaudeō tē salvum advenīre, I rejoice that you arrive safely;

nōn molestē ferunt sē libīdinum vinculīs

laxātōs ēsse, they are not troubled at being released from the bonds of
passion;

mīror tē ad mē nihil scrībere, I wonder that you write me

nothing.

a. Instead of an Infinitive these verbs also sometimes admit a quod- clause as Object. (See §
299.) Thus:—

mīror quod nōn 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 (§ 178, 1), may
substitute an Infinitive for the second Accusative; as,—

cōgō tē hōc facere, I compel you to do this (cf. tē hōc
cōgō);

Infinitive with Subject Accusative. 226

 New Latin Grammar

docuī tē contentum esse, I taught you to be content (cf. tē modestiam
docuī, 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,—

mīlitēs pontem facere jussī sunt, the soldiers were ordered to build a
bridge;

pōns fierī jussus est, a bridge was ordered built;

mīlitēs castrīs exīre vetitī sunt, the troops were

forbidden to go out of the camp;

Sēstius Clōdium accūsāre nōn est situs, Sestius was not

allowed to accuse Clodius.

b) videor, I am seen, I seem; as,—

vidētur comperisse, he seems to have discovered.

c) dīcor, putor, exīstimor, jūdicor (in all persons); as,—

dīcitur in Italiam vēnisse, he is said to have come into Italy;

Rōmulus prīmus rēx Rōmānōrum fuisse

putātur, Romulus is thought to have been the first king of the Romans.

d) fertur, feruntur, trāditur, trāduntur (only in the third person); as,—

fertur Homērus caecus fuisse, Homer is said to have been blind;

carmina Archilochī contumēliīs referta esse trāduntur,

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—

trāditum est Homērum caecum fuisse, the story goes that Homer was blind.

Infinitive with Adjectives.

333. The Infinitive with Adjectives (except parātus, assuētus, etc.; see § 328, 1) occurs only in
poetry and post-Augustan prose writers; as,—

contentus dēmōnstrāsse, contented to have proved;

Passive Construction of the Foregoing Verbs. 227

 New Latin Grammar

audāx omnia perpetī, 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 sōlem tam nigrum surrēxe mihi, to think that to-day's sun rose with
such evil omen for me!

sedēre tōtōs diēs in vīllā, 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 cottīdiē Caesar Haeduōs frūmentum

flāgitāre, 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 § 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:—

audiō tē loquentem = you ARE speaking and I hear you;

audiēbam tē loquentem = you WERE speaking and I heard you;

audiam tē loquentem = you WILL BE speaking and I shall hear you.

a. The Present Participle is sometimes employed with Conative force; as,—

assurgentem rēgem resupīnat, 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:—

locūtus taceō = I HAVE spoken and am silent;

locūtus tacui = I HAD spoken and then was silent;

locūtus tacēbō = I SHALL speak and then shall be silent.

Infinitive with Adjectives. 228

 New Latin Grammar

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.
arbitrātus, ausus, ratus, gāvīsus, solitus, ūsus, cōnfīsus,
diffīsus, secūtus, 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:—

glōria est cōnsentiēns laus bonōrum, glory is the unanimous

praise of the good;

Conōn mūrōs ā Lysandrō dīrutōs 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 nāscēns facile opprimitur, every evil is easily crushed at birth.

b) A Condition; as,—

mente ūtī nōn possumus cibō et pōtiōne

complētī, if gorged with food and drink, we cannot use our intellects.

c) Manner; as,—

Solōn senēscere sē dīcēbat multa in diēs

addiscentem, Solon said he grew old learning many new things daily.

d) Means; as,—

sōl oriēns diem cōnficit, the sun, by its rising, makes the day.

e) Opposition ('though'); as,—

mendācī hominī nē vērum quidem dīcentī

crēdimus, we do not believe a liar, though he speaks the truth.

f) Cause; as,—

perfidiam veritus ad suōs recessit, since he feared treachery, he returned to his own
troops.

Tenses of the Participle. 229

 New Latin Grammar

3. Videō and audiō, besides the Infinitive, take the Present Participle in the Predicate use;
as,—

videō tē fugientem, I see you fleeing.

a. So frequently faciō, fingō, indūcō, etc.; as,—

eīs Catōnem respondentem facimus, we represent Cato replying to them;

Homērus Laërtem colentem agrum facit, Homer represents Laërtes tilling the field.

4. The Future Active Participle (except futūrus) 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,—

vēnērunt castra oppugnātūrī, they came to assault the

camp.

5. The Perfect Passive Participle is often equivalent to a coördinate clause; as,—

urbem captam dīruit, 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;

Quīnctius dēfēnsus, the defense of Quinctius;

quibus animus occupātus, the preoccupation of the mind with which.

7. Habeō 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,—

equitātus quem coāctum habēbat, 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;

lēgēs 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,—

Use of Participles. 230

 New Latin Grammar

veniendum est, it is necessary to come;

oblīvīscendum est offēnsārum, one must forget injuries;

numquam prōditōrī crēdendum est, you must never trust a

traitor;

suō cuique ūtendum est jūdiciō, every man must use his own
judgment.

2) After cūrō, provide for; dō, trādō, give over;

relinquō, leave; concēdō, hand over, and some other verbs, instead of an
object clause, or to denote purpose; as,—

Caesar pontem in Ararī faciendum cūrāvit, Caesar provided for the

construction of a bridge over the Arar;

imperātor urbem mīlitibus dīripiendam concessit, the general handed

over the city to the soldiers to plunder.

9. For the Gerundive as the equivalent of the Gerund, see § 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 §§ 200, 202); as,—

cupiditās dominandī, desire of ruling;

ars scrībendī, the art of writing.

b) With Adjectives; as,—

cupidus audiendī, desirous of hearing.

c) With causā, grātiā; as,—

discendī causā, for the sake of learning.

2. Dative. The Dative of the Gerund is used—

a) With Adjectives; as,—

aqua ūtilis est bibendō, water is useful for drinking.

b) With Verbs (rarely); as,—

adfuī scrībendō, I was present at the writing.

Use of Participles. 231

 New Latin Grammar

3. Accusative. The Accusative of the Gerund is used only with Prepositions, chiefly ad and in to denote
purpose; as,—

homō ad agendum nātus 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 §§ 218, 219); as,—

mēns discendō alitur et cōgitandō, the mind is nourished by

learning and reflection.

Themistoclēs maritimōs praedōnēs cōnsectandō

mare tūtum reddidit, Themistocles made the sea safe by following up the pirates.

b) After the prepositions ā, dē, ex, in; as,—

summa voluptās ex discendō capitur, the keenest pleasure is derived from

learning;

multa dē bene beātēque vīvendō ā Platōne

disputāta 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 videndī, desirous of seeing cupidus urbis videndae;
the city.
dēlector ōrātōrēs dēlector ōrātōribus
legendō, I am charmed with reading the legendīs
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 castrīs mūniendīs aptus, a place adapted to fortifying a camp;

ad pācem petendam vēnērunt, they came to ask peace;

multum temporis cōnsūmō in legendīs poētīs, I

spend much time in reading the poets.

3. In order to avoid ambiguity (see § 236, 2), the Gerundive Construction must not be employed in case of
Neuter Adjectives used substantively. Thus regularly—

Gerundive Construction instead of the Gerund. 232

 New Latin Grammar

philosophī cupidī sunt vērum invēstīgandī,

philosophers are eager for discovering truth (rarely vērī
invēstīgandī);

studium plūra cognōscendī, a desire of knowing more (not

plūrium cognōscendōrum).

4. From the nature of the case only Transitive Verbs can be used in the Gerundive construction; but
ūtor, fruor, fungor, potior (originally transitive) regularly admit it; as,—

hostēs in spem potiundōrum castrōrum vēnerant, the enemy

had conceived the hope of gaining possession of the camp.

5. The Genitives meī, tuī, suī, nostrī, vestrī, 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 suī servandī causā aufūgit, the woman fled for the sake
of saving herself;

lēgātī in castra vēnērunt suī

pūrgandī causā, the envoys came into camp for the purpose of clearing
themselves.

So nostrī servandī causā, for the sake of saving ourselves.

6. Occasionally the Genitive of the Gerundive Construction is used to denote purpose; as,—

quae ille cēpit lēgum ac lībertātis 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,—

decemvirī lēgibus scrībundīs, decemvirs for codifying the laws;

quīndecimvirī sacrīs faciundīs, quindecimvirs for performing

the sacrifices.

THE SUPINE.

340. 1. The Supine in -um is used after Verbs of motion to express purpose; as,—

lēgātī ad Caesarem grātulātum

convēnērunt, envoys came to Caesar to congratulate him.

a. The Supine in -um may take an Object; as,—

pācem petītum ōrātōrēs Rōmam mittunt,

they send envoys to Rome to ask for peace.

Gerundive Construction instead of the Gerund. 233

 New Latin Grammar

b. Note the phrase:—

dō (collocō) fīliam nūptum, I give my daughter in marriage.

2. The Supine in -ū is used as an Ablative of Specification with facilis, difficilis, incrēdibilis,
jūcundus, optimus, etc.; also with fās est, nefās est, opus est; as,—

haec rēs est facilis cognitū, this thing is easy to learn;

hōc est optimum factū, this is best to do.

a. Only a few Supines in -ū are in common use, chiefly audītū,

cognitū, dictū, factū, vīsū.

b. The Supine in -ū never takes an Object.

CHAPTER VI.—Particles.

COÖRDINATE 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,—

parentēs līberīque, parents and children;

cum hominēs aestū febrīque 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 sentiō ac tū, 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

CHAPTER VI.—Particles. 234

 New Latin Grammar

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 nōn is used for neque when the emphasis of the negative rests upon a special
word; as,—

vetus et nōn ignōbilis ōrātor, an old and not ignoble orator.

d) For and nowhere, and never, and none, the Latin regularly said nec ūsquam, nec
umquam, nec ūllus, 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 § 346). Thus:—

ex cupiditātibus odia, discidia, discordiae, sēditiōnēs, bella

nāscuntur, from covetous desires spring up hatred, dissension, discord, sedition, wars.

b) The different members may severally be connected by et (Polysyndeton). Thus:—

hōrae cēdunt et diēs et mēnsēs et annī, 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,—

dēdūcit, 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 victōria laeta, (either) swift death or glad victory comes.

b) vel, -ve (enclitic) imply a choice between the alternatives; as,—

quī aethēr vel caelum nōminātur, which is called aether or

heaven.

2. Correlatives. Disjunctive Conjunctions are often used correlatively; as,—

aut ... aut, either ... or;

vel ... vel, either ... or;

sīve ... sīve, if ... or if.

343. Adversative Conjunctions. These denote opposition.

1.

a) sed, but, merely denotes opposition.

b) vērum, 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) atquī means but yet.

f) tamen, yet, usually stands after the emphatic word, but not always.

g) vērō, however, indeed, in truth, is always post-positive.

2. Note the correlative expressions:—

nōn sōlum (nōn modo) ... sed etiam, not only ... but also;

COÖRDINATE CONJUNCTIONS. 236

 New Latin Grammar

nōn modo nōn ... sed nē ... quidem, not only not, but not even;
as,—

nōn modo tibi nōn īrāscor, sed nē reprehendō

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,
nōn modo may be used for nōn modo nōn; as,—

adsentātiō nōn modo amīcō, sed nē

līberō 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) ergō = 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 coördinate members, particularly in lively or
impassioned narration. Thus:—

a) A copulative Conjunction is omitted; as,—

avāritia īnfīnīta, īnsatiābilis est, avarice is

boundless (and) insatiable;

Cn. Pompejō, M. Crassō cōnsulibus, in the consulship of Gnaeus

Pompey (and) Marcus Crassus.

The conjunction is regularly omitted between the names of consuls when the praenomen
(Mārcus, Gaius, etc.) is expressed.

b) An Adversative Conjunction may be omitted; as,—

ratiōnēs dēfuērunt, ūbertās

ōrātiōnis nōn dēfuit, arguments were lacking, (but)
abundance of words was not.

ADVERBS.

COÖRDINATE CONJUNCTIONS. 237

 New Latin Grammar

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.

nē ... quidem means not even; the emphatic word or phrase always stands between; as,
nē ille quidem, not even he.

tamen and vērō, 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 nōn

nūllī, some; but when nōn, nēmō, nihil, numquam, etc., are accompanied
by neque ... neque, nōn ... nōn, nōn modo, or nē ... quidem, the latter particles
simply take up the negation and emphasize it; as,—

habeō hīc nēminem neque amīcum neque cognātum, I

have here no one, neither friend nor relative.

nōn enim praetereundum est nē 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 sciō 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,—

Dārīus classem quīngentārum nāvium

comparāvit, 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 hōc bellō Themistoclēs fuit, GREAT was Themistocles in

this war;

aliud iter habēmus nūllum, other course we have NONE.

CHAPTER VII.—Word-order and Sentence-Structure. 238

 New Latin Grammar

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:—

tribūnus plēbis, tribune of the plebs;

fīlius rēgis, son of the king;

vir magnī animī, a man of noble spirit.

Yet always senātūs cōnsultum, plēbis scītum.

b) Depending upon an Adjective:—

ignārus rērum, ignorant of affairs;

dignī amīcitiā, worthy of friendship;

plūs aequō, more than (what is) fair.

2. Appositives. An Appositive regularly follows its Subject; as,—

Philippus, rēx Macedonum, Philip, king of the Macedonians;

adsentātiō, vitiōrum adjūtrīx, flattery, promoter of evils.

Yet flūmen Rhēnus, the River Rhine; and always in good prose urbs Rōma, the city
Rome.

3. The Vocative usually follows one or more words; as,—

audī, 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,—

omnēs hominēs, all men;

septingentae nāvēs, seven hundred vessels.

b. Note the force of position in the following:—

media urbs, the middle of the city;

urbs media, the middle city,

A. WORD-ORDER. 239
 New Latin Grammar

extrēmum bellum, the end of the war;

bellum extrēmum, the last war.

c. Rōmānus and Latīnus regularly follow; as,—

senātus populusque Rōmānus, the Roman Senate and People;

lūdī Rōmānī, the Roman games;

fēriae Latīnae, 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 rērum abundantia, the greatest abundance of all things.

5. Pronouns.

a. The Demonstrative, Relative, and Interrogative Pronouns regularly precede the Noun;
as,—

hīc homō, this man;

ille homō, that man;

erant duo itinera, quibus itineribus, etc., there were two routes, by which, etc.

quī homō? 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;

Mēdēa illa, that famous Medea.

c. Possessive and Indefinite Pronouns usually follow their Noun; as,—

pater meus, my father;

homō quīdam, 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,—

A. WORD-ORDER. 240
 New Latin Grammar

nisi forte ego vōbīs cessāre videor, unless perchance I seem to you to be
doing nothing.

6. Adverbs and Adverbial phrases regularly precede the word they modify; as,—

valdē dīligēns, extremely diligent;

saepe dīxī, I have often said;

tē jam diū hortāmur, we have long been urging you;

paulō 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,—

dē commūnī hominum memoriā, concerning the common

memory of men;

ad beātē vīvendum, for living happily.

b. When a noun is modified by an Adjective, the Adjective is often placed before the
preposition; as,—

magnō in dolōre, in great grief;

summā cum laude, with the highest credit;

quā dē causā, for which cause;

hanc ob rem, on account of this thing.

c. For Anastrophe, by which a Preposition is put after its case, see § 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 audīvit, Corcyram dēmigrāvit, when he heard that (referring to

the contents of the preceding sentence), he moved to Corcyra;

eō cum Caesar vēnisset, timentēs cōnfirmat, 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,—

A. WORD-ORDER. 241
 New Latin Grammar

ut ad senem senex dē senectūte, sīc hōc librō ad

amīcum amīcissimus dē amīcitiā scrīpsī,
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) Hypérbaton, which consists in the separation of words that regularly stand together;
as,—

septimus mihi Orīginum liber est in manibus, the seventh book of my 'Origines' is
under way;

receptō Caesar Ōricō proficīscitur, having recovered Oricus,

Caesar set out.

b) Anáphora, which consists in the repetition of the same word or the same word-order in
successive phrases; as,—

sed plēnī omnēs sunt librī, plēnae sapientium

vōcēs, plēna exemplōrum vetustās, but all books are full
of it, the voices of sages are full of it, antiquity is full of examples of it.

c) Chiásmus,[59] which consists in changing the relative order of words in two antithetical
phrases; as,—

multōs dēfendī, laesī nēminem, many have I defended, I

have injured no one;

horribilem illum diem aliīs, nōbīs faustum, that day dreadful to

others, for us fortunate.

d) Sýnchysis, or the interlocked arrangement. This is mostly confined to poetry, yet occurs in
rhetorical prose, especially that of the Imperial Period; as,—

simulātam Pompejānārum grātiam 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.

as, esse vidētur (close of hexameter).

as, esse potest (close of pentameter).

b) Cadences frequently employed.

as, auxerant.

A. WORD-ORDER. 242
 New Latin Grammar

as, comprobāvit.

as, esse videātur.

as, rogātū tuō.

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 prīmum suō, deinde omnium ex cōnspectū

remōtīs equīs, ut aequātō perīculō spem
fugae tolleret, cohortātus suōs proelium commīsit, 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,—

Haeduī cum sē dēfendere nōn possent,

lēgātōs ad Caesarem mittunt, since the Haedui could not defend
themselves, they sent envoys to Caesar;

ille etsī flagrābat bellandī cupiditāte, tamen pācī

serviendum putāvit, 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 hōc eī nūntiatum esset, mātūrat ab urbe

proficīscī, 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. Mānliō, cum dictātor fuisset, M. Pompōnius tribūnus

plēbis diem dīxit, 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 dīxit, profectus est, after he said this, he set out;

B. SENTENCE-STRUCTURE. 243
 New Latin Grammar

sī quis ita agat, imprūdēns sit, if any one should act so, he would be
devoid of foresight;

accidit ut ūnā nocte omnēs Hermae dēicerentur, 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,—

sī quid est in mē ingenī, quod sentiō 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 etsī intellegēbat quā dē causā ea

dīcerentur, tamen, nē aestātem in Trēverīs
cōnsūmere cōgerētur, Indutiomārum ad sē
venīre 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 hostēs cum mīsissent, quī, quae in castrīs gererentur,

cognōscerent, ubi sē dēceptōs intellēxērunt,
omnibus cōpiīs subsecūtī ad flūmen 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,—

domōs eunt, they go home (i.e. to their homes);

Germānī corpora cūrant, the Germans care for the body;

animōs mīlitum recreat, he renews the courage of the soldiers;

CHAPTER VIII.-Hints on Latin Style. 244

 New Latin Grammar

diēs noctēsque timēre, 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 perdīta, everything is lost;

quae cum ita sint, since this is so;

haec omnibus pervulgāta 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:—

ā puerō, ā puerīs, from boyhood;

Sullā dictātōre, in Sulla's dictatorship;

mē duce, under my leadership;

Rōmānī cum Carthāginiēnsibus pācem

fēcērunt = Rome made peace with Carthage;

liber doctrīnae plēnus = a learned book;

prūdentiā Themistoclīs Graecia servāta est = Themistocles's

foresight saved Greece.

4. The Nouns of Agency in -tor and -sor (see § 147, 1) denote a permanent or characteristic activity;
as,—

accūsātōrēs, (professional) accusers;

ōrātōrēs, pleaders;

cantōrēs, singers;

Arminius, Germāniae līberātor, Arminius, liberator of Germany.

a. To denote single instances of an action, other expressions are commonly employed;

as,—

Numa, quī Rōmulō successit, Numa, successor of Romulus;

quī mea legunt, my readers;

quī mē 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:—

NOUNS. 245
 New Latin Grammar

a) A Genitive; as,—

dolor injūriārum, resentment at injuries.

b) An Adjective; as,—

urbēs maritimae, cities on the sea;

pugna Salamīnia, the fight at Salamis.

c) A Participle; as,—

pugna ad Cannās facta, the battle at Cannae.

d) A Relative clause; as,—

liber quī in meīs 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:—

trānsitus in Britanniam, the passage to Britain;

excessus ē vītā, departure from life;

odium ergā Rōmānōs, hatred of the Romans;

liber dē senectūte, 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,—

virtūtēs animī = moral virtues;

dolōrēs corporis = bodily ills.

b) An Abstract Noun; as,—

novitās reī = the strange circumstance;

asperitās viārum = rough roads.

c) Hendiadys (see § 374, 4); as,—

ADJECTIVES. 246
 New Latin Grammar

ratiō et ōrdō = systematic order;

ārdor et impetus = eager onset.

d) Sometimes an Adverb; as,—

omnēs circā populī, all the surrounding tribes;

suōs semper hostēs, their perpetual foes.

2. Often a Latin Noun is equivalent to an English Noun modified by an Adjective; as,—

doctrīna, theoretical knowledge;

prūdentia, 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,
homō, ille, or some other word used as an Appositive of a proper name; as,—

Sōcratēs, homō sapiēns = the wise Socrates;

Scīpiō, vir fortissimus = the doughty Scipio;

Syrācūsae, urbs praeclārissima = famous Syracuse.

4. An Adjective may be equivalent to a Possessive or Subjective Genitive; as,—

pāstor rēgius, the shepherd of the king;

tumultus servīlis, 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,—

ā quō cum quaererētur, quid maximē expedīret,

respondit, when it was asked of him what was best, he replied. (Less commonly, quī,
cum ab eō quaererētur, respondit.)

2. Uterque, ambō. Uterque means each of two; ambō means both; as,—

uterque frāter abiit, each of the two brothers departed (i.e. separately);

ambō frātrēs abiērunt, i.e. the two brothers departed together.

PRONOUNS. 247
 New Latin Grammar

a. The Plural of uterque occurs—

1) With Nouns used only in the Plural (see § 56); as,—

in utrīsque castrīs, in each camp.

2) Where there is a distinct reference to two groups of persons or things; as,—

utrīque ducēs clārī fuērunt, 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 odiō sumus, we are hated;

in invidiā sum, I am envied;

admīrātiōnī est, he is admired;

oblīviōne obruitur, he is forgotten (lit. is overwhelmed by oblivion);

in ūsū esse, to be used.

b) By the Passive of Verbs of related meaning. Thus:—

agitārī as Passive of persequī;

temptārī as Passive of adorīrī.

2. The lack of the Perfect Active Participle in Latin is supplied—

a) Sometimes by the Perfect Passive Participle of the Deponent; as,—

adhortātus, having exhorted;

veritus, having feared.

b) By the Ablative Absolute; as,—

hostium agrīs vāstātīs Caesar exercitum redūxit, having

ravaged the country of the enemy, Caesar led back his army.

c) By subordinate clauses; as,—

eō cum advēnisset, castra posuit, having arrived there, he pitched a camp;

VERBS. 248
 New Latin Grammar

hostes quī in urbem irrūperant, 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 (§ 280), Jussive (§
275), Deliberative (§ 277), and the Subjunctive in conditional sentences of the sort included under § 302, 2,
and 303. Examples:—

vidērēs, you could see;

ūtāre vīribus, use your strength,

quid hōc homine faciās, what are you to do with this man?

mēns quoque et animus, nisi tamquam lūminī oleum

īnstīllēs, exstinguuntur senectūte, the intellect and mind too are
extinguished by old age, unless, so to speak, you keep pouring oil into the lamp;

tantō amōre possessiōnēs suās amplexī

tenēbant, ut ab eīs membra dīvellī citius posse
dīcerēs, 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 § 223), but has other forms of expression. Thus:—

post quīnque annōs, five years afterward;

paucōs ante diēs, a few days before;

ante quadriennium, four years before;

post diem quārtum quam ab urbe discesserāmus, four days after we had left
the city;

ante tertium annum quam dēcesserat, three years before he had died.

2. The Latin seldom combines both Subject and Object with the same Infinitive; as,—

Rōmānōs Hannibalem vīcisse cōnstat.

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,—

Rōmānōs ab Hannibale victōs esse cōnstat, it is well

established that the Romans were defeated by Hannibal.

PECULIARITIES IN THE USE OF THE ACCUSATIVE. 249

 New Latin Grammar

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
prō with the Ablative, viz. in the senses—

a) In defense of; as,—

prō patriā morī, to die for one's country.

b) Instead of, in behalf of; as,—

ūnus prō omnibus dīxit, one spoke for all;

haec prō lēge dicta sunt, these things were said for the law.

c) In proportion to; as,—

prō multitūdine hominum eōrum fīnēs erant

angustī, 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 scrībere ad aliquem, or
scrībere 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:—

sē miscet virīs, he mingles with the men;

contendis Homērō, 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 stultī or stultum est dīcere, it is foolish to say; but Adjectives of
one ending permit only the Genitive; as,—

sapientis est haec sēcum reputāre, it is the part of a wise man to consider this.

PECULIARITIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE DATIVE. 250

 New Latin Grammar

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 § 5. The
following peculiarities are to be noted here:—

1. A vowel is usually short when followed by another vowel (§ 5, A, 2), but the following exceptions
occur:—

a) In the Genitive termination -īus (except alterĭus); as, illīus,

tōtīus. Yet the i may be short in poetry; as, illĭus, tōtĭus.

b) In the Genitive and Dative Singular of the Fifth Declension; as, diēī,
aciēī. But fidĕī, rĕī, spĕī (§ 52, 1).

c) In fīō, excepting fit and forms where i is followed by er. Thus:

fīēbam, fīat, fīunt; but fĭerī, fĭerem.

d) In a few other words, especially words derived from the Greek; as, dīus,
Aenēās, Dārīus, hērōes, etc.

2. A diphthong is usually long (§ 5, B, 2), but the preposition prae in composition is often shortened before a
vowel; as, prăĕacūtus.

3. A syllable containing a short vowel followed by two consonants (§ 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, prō segete spīcās.

4. Compounds of jaciō, though written inicit, adicit, etc., have the first syllable long, as though written
inj-, adj-.

PECULIARITIES IN THE USE OF THE GENITIVE. 251

5. Before j, ă and ĕ made a long syllable, e.g. in major, pejor, ejus, ejusdem, Pompejus,
rejēcit, etc. These were pronounced, mai-jor, pei-jor, ei-jus, Pompei-jus, rei-jēcit, etc. So also
sometimes before i, e.g. Pompe-ī, pronounced Pompei-ī; re-iciō, pronounced
rei-iciō.

Dēlos, Pallas, Simoīs, Salamīs, Dīdūs, Paridī, āēr,
aethēr, crātēr, hērōăs. Yet Greek nouns in -ωρ
(-ōr) regularly shorten the vowel of the final syllable; as, rhētŏr, Hectŏr.

VERSE-STRUCTURE.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES.

366. 1. The metrical unit in versification is a short syllable, technically called a mora ( ). 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.

Trochee. Dactyl.
Iambus. 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:

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: corpore
in ūnō; multum ille et; mōnstrum horrendum; causae īrārum.

a. Omission of elision is called Hiátus. It occurs especially before and after monosyllabic
interjections; as, Ō et praesidium.

8. The ending of a word within a foot is called a Caesúra (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. Synizésis (synaéresis). Two successive vowels in the interior of a word are often united into a long
syllable; as,—

aur{eī}s, d{ei}nde, ant{eī}re, d{ee}sse.

VERSE-STRUCTURE. 254
 New Latin Grammar

2. Diástole. A syllable usually short is sometimes long; as,—

vidēt, audīt.

3. Sýstole. A syllable usually long is sometimes short; as,—

stetĕrunt.

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; dissoluō for dissolvō.

6. Sometimes a verse has an extra syllable. Such a verse is called an Hypérmeter. The extra syllable ends in a
vowel or -m, and is united with the initial vowel or h of the next verse by Synaphéia. Thus:—

... ignārī hominumque locōrumque

errāmus.

7. Tmesis (cutting). Compound words are occasionally separated into their elements; as,—

quō mē cumque rapit tempestās, for quōcumque, etc.

8. Sýncope. 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:—

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,—

armātumque aurō circumspicit Ōrīōna.

cāra deum subolēs, magnum Jovis incrēmentum.

VERSE-STRUCTURE. 255
 New Latin Grammar

3. Caesura.

a) The favorite position of the caesura in the Dactylic Hexameter is after the thesis of the
third foot; as,—

arma virumque canō || Trōjae quī prīmus ab

ōrĭs.

b) Less frequently the caesura occurs after the thesis of the fourth foot, usually accompanied
by another in the second foot; as,—

inde torō || pater Aenēās || sīc ōrsus ab altō est.

c) Sometimes the caesura occurs between the two short syllables of the third foot; as,—

Ō passī graviōra || dabit deus hīs quoque fīnem.

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:—

sōlstitium pecorī dēfendite; || jam venit aestās.

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:—

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 vīdī tantum, neo amāra Tibullō

Tempus amīcitiae fāta dedēre meae.

IAMBIC MEASURES.

370. 1. The most important Iambic verse is the Iambic Trimeter (§ 366, 11), called also Senarius. This is an
acatalectic verse. It consists of six Iambi. Its pure form is:—

Beātus ille quī procul negōtiīs.

The Caesura usually occurs in the third foot; less frequently in the fourth.

VERSE-STRUCTURE. 256
 New Latin Grammar

2. In place of the Iambus, a Tribrach ( ) 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 ( ) 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: Jānuārius, Februārius, Mārtius,
Aprīlis, Majus, Jūnius, Jūlius (Quīntīlis[62] prior to 46 B.C.), Augustus
(Sextīlis[62] before the Empire), September, Octōber, November, December. These words are
properly Adjectives in agreement with mēnsis 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 prīdiē
Kalendās, Nōnās, Īdūs. The second day before was designated as diē
tertiō ante Kalendās, Nōnās, etc. Similarly the third day before was designated as
diē quārtō, 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
Kalendās, Nōnās, Īdūs. Various forms of expression occur, of which that
given under d) is most common:—

a) diē quīntō ante Īdūs Mārtiās;

b) quīntō ante Īdūs Mārtiās;

c) quīntō (V) Īdūs Mārtiās;

d) ante diem quīntum Īdūs Mārtiās.

SUPPLEMENTS TO THE GRAMMAR. 257

 New Latin Grammar

6. These designations may be treated as nouns and combined with the prepositions in, ad, ex; as,—

ad ante diem IV Kalendās Octōbrēs, up to the 28th of September.

ex ante diem quīntum Īdūs Octōbrēs, from the 11th of

October.

7. In leap-year the 25th was reckoned as the extra day in February. The 24th was designated as ante diem VI
Kalendās Mārtiās, and the 25th as ante diem bis VI Kal Mārt.

II. PROPER NAMES.

373. 1. The name of a Roman citizen regularly consisted of three parts: the praenōmen (or given
name), the nōmen (name of the gens or clan), and the cognōmen (family name). Such a typical
name is exemplied by Mārcus Tullius Cicerō, in which Mārcus is the
praenōmen, Tullius the nōmen, and Cicerō the cognōmen. Sometimes a second
cognōmen (in later Latin called an agnōmen) is added—expecially in honor of military
achievements; as,—

Gāius Cornēlius Scīpiō Āfricānus.

2. ABBREVIATIONS OF PROPER NAMES.

A. = Aulus. Mam. = Māmercus.

App. = Appius. N. = Numerius.
C. = Gāius. P. = Pūblius.
Cn. = Gnaeus. Q. = Quīntus.
D. = Decimus. Sex. = Sextus.
K. = Kaesō. Ser. = Servius.
L. = Lūcius. Sp. = Spurius.
M. = Mārcus. T. = Titus.
M'. = Mānius. Ti. = Tiberius.

III. FIGURES OF SYNTAX AND RHETORIC.

A. Figures of Syntax.

374. 1. Ellípsis is the omission of one or more words; as,—

quid multa, why (should I say) much?

2. Brachýlogy is a brief or condensed form of expression; as,—

ut ager sine cultūrā frūctuōsus esse nōn potest, sīc

sine doctrīnā 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,—

minīs aut blandīmentīs 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,—

A. Figures of Syntax. 259

 New Latin Grammar

dissimilis erat Charēs eōrum et factīs et mōribus, lit. Chares

was different from their conduct and character i.e. Chares's conduct and character were
different, etc.

3. Pléonasm is an unnecessary fullness of expression; as,—

prius praedīcam, lit. I will first say in advance.

4. Hendíadys (‛εν δια

δυοιν, 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;

celeritāte cursūque, by swift running.

5. Prolépsis, or Anticipation, is the introduction of an epithet in advance of the action which makes it
appropriate; as,—

submersās obrue puppēs, 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:—

nōstī Mārcellum 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. Anacolúthon is a lack of grammatical consistency in the construction of the sentence; as,—

tum Ancī fīliī ... impēnsius eīs indignitās

crēscere, then the sons of Ancus ... their indignation increased all the more.

7. Hýsteron Próteron consists in the inversion of the natural order of two words or phrases; as,—

moriāmur et in media arma ruāmus = let us rush into the midst of arms and
die.

B. Figures of Rhetoric.

375. 1. Lítotes (literally softening) is the expression of an idea by the denial of its opposite; as,—

haud parum labōris, no little toil (i.e. much toil);

nōn ignōrō, I am not ignorant (i.e. I am well aware).

2. Oxymóron is the combination of contradictory conceptions; as,—

B. Figures of Rhetoric. 260

 New Latin Grammar

sapiēns īnsānia, wise folly.

3. Alliteration is the employment of a succession of words presenting frequent repetition of the same letter
(mostly initial); as,—

sēnsim sine sēnsū aetās senēscit.

4. Onomatopœia is the suiting of sound to sense; as,—

quadrupedante putrem sonitū quatit ungula campum, 'And shake with horny hoofs
the solid ground.'

FOOTNOTES

[1] Sometimes also called Aryan or Indo-Germanic.

[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, ā, ī, ō, etc.
Vowels not thus marked are short. Occasionally a curve is set above short vowels; as, ĕ, ŭ.

[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,
abrumpō.

[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, hiemīs, winter.

[14] Mēnsis, month, originally a consonant stem (mēns-), has in the Genitive Plural both
mēnsium and mēnsum. The Accusative Plural is mēnsēs.

[15] This is practically always used instead of alīus 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.

FOOTNOTES 380
 New Latin Grammar

[20] Supplied by minimus nātū.

[21] Supplied by maximus nātū.

[22] The final i is sometimes long in poetry.

[23] Forms of hīc ending in -s sometimes append -ce for emphasis; as, hūjusce, this ... here;
hōsce, hīsce. When -ne is added, -c and -ce become -ci; as huncine, hōscine.

[24] For istud, istūc sometimes occurs; for ista, istaec.

[25] For illud, illūc sometimes occurs.

[26] Sometimes quīs.

[27] An ablative quī occurs in quīcum, 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, essēs, esset, essent, the forms forem, forēs, foret, forent are sometimes used.

[32] For futūrus esse, the form fore is often used.

[33] Declined like bonus, -a, -um.

[34] The Imperfect also means I loved.

[35] For declension of amāns, see § 70, 3.

[36] Fuī, fuistī, etc., are sometimes used for sum, es, etc. So fueram, fuerās, etc., for
eram, etc.; fuerō, etc., for erō, etc.

[37] Fuerim, etc., are sometimes used for sim; so fuissem, etc., for essem.

[38] In actual usage passive imperatives occur only in deponents (§ 112).

[39] Strictly speaking, the Present Stem always ends in a Thematic Vowel (ĕ or ŏ); as,
dīc-ĕ-, dīc-ŏ-; amā-ĕ-, amā-ŏ-. 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 juvō sometimes have -jūtūrus; as, adjūtūrus.

[41] Used only impersonally.

FOOTNOTES 381
 New Latin Grammar

[42] So impleō, expleō.

[43] Compounds follow the Fourth Conjugation: acciō, accīre, etc.

[44] Fully conjugated only in the compounds: exstinguō, restinguō, distinguō.

[45] Only in the compounds: ēvādō, invādō, pervādō.

[46] It will be observed that not all the forms of ferō 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 §§ 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: moneō, admoneō; rogō, ōrō, petō, postulō,

precor, flāgitō; mandō, imperō, praecipiō; suādeō, hortor,
cohortor; persuādeō, impellō.

[52] Especially: permittō, concēdō, nōn patior.

[53] Especially: prohibeō, impediō, dēterreō.

[54] Especially: cōnstituō, dēcernō, cēnseō, placuit, convenit,

pacīscor.

[55] Especially: labōrō, dō operam, id agō, contendō, impetrō.

[56] Exclamations, also, upon becoming indirect, take the Subjunctive, as cōnsiderā quam
variae sint hominum cupīdinēs, consider how varied are the desires of men. (Direct: quam
variae sunt hominum cupīdinēs!)

[57] Trāditūri fuerint and errātūrus fuerīs are to be regarded as

representing trāditūri fuērunt and errātūrus fuistī of Direct
Discourse. (See § 304, 3, b.)

[58] Except in Sallust and Silver Latin.

[59] So named from a fancied analogy to the strokes of the Greek letter Χ (chi). Thus:—

multōslaesī
Χ
dēfendī
nēminem
[60] The pronouns hic, hoc, and the adverb huc, probably had a short vowel. The syllable was made long by
pronouncing hicc, hocc, etc.

FOOTNOTES 382
 New Latin Grammar

[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] Originally the Roman year began with March. This explains the names Quīntīlis,
Sextīlis, September etc., fifth month, sixth month, etc.

[63] For explanation of the abbreviations, see list.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable

effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right

of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a

defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.

FOOTNOTES 387
 New Latin Grammar
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm 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, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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 web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg

Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide

spread 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 http://pglaf.org

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 including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

works.

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm

concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared

FOOTNOTES 389
 New Latin Grammar
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain 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 Web site which has the main PG search facility:

http://www.gutenberg.net

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,

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.
