with sufficient uniformity? 60.  What rules for nouns coming together are inserted in Obs. 31st on Rule 4th? 61.  Does the compounding of words necessarily preclude their separate use? 62.  Is there a difference worth notice, between such terms or things as heart-ease and heart’s-ease; a harelip and a hare’s lip; a headman and a headsman; a lady’s-slipper and a lady’s slipper? 63.  Where usage is utterly unsettled, what guidance should be sought? 64.  What peculiarities are noticed in regard to the noun side? 65.  What peculiarities has the possessive case in regard to correlatives? 66.  What is remarked of the possessive relation between time and action? 67.  What is observed of nouns of weight, measure, or time, coming immediately together?

LESSON XVII.—­NOUNS, OR CASES.

68.  Are there any exceptions or objections to the old rule, “Active verbs govern the objective case?” 69.  Of how many different constructions is the objective case susceptible? 70.  What is the usual position of the objective case, and what exceptions are there? 71.  Can any thing but the governing of an objective noun or pronoun make an active verb transitive? 72.  In the sentence, “What have I to do with thee?” how are have and do to be parsed? 73.  Can infinitives, participles, phrases, sentences, and parts of sentences, be really “in the objective case?” 74.  In the sentence, “I know why she blushed,” how is know to be parsed? 75.  In the sentence, “I know that Messias cometh,” how are know and that to be parsed? 76.  In the sentence, “And Simon he surnamed Peter”, how are Simon and Peter to be parsed? 77.  In such sentences as, “I paid him the money,”—­“He asked them the question,” how are the two objectives to be parsed? 78.  Does any verb in English ever govern two objectives that are not coupled? 79.  Are there any of our passive verbs that can properly govern the objective case? 80.  Is not our language like the Latin, in respect to verbs governing two cases, and passives retaining the latter? 81.  How do our grammarians now dispose of what remains to us of the old Saxon dative case? 82.  Do any reputable writers allow passive verbs to govern the objective case? 83.  What says Lindley Murray about this passive government? 84.  Why is the position, “Active verbs govern the objective case,” of no use to the composer? 85.  On what is the construction of same cases founded? 86.  Does this construction admit of any variety in the position of the words? 87.  Does an ellipsis of the verb or participle change this construction into apposition? 88.  Is it ever right to put both terms before the verb? 89.  What kinds of words can take different cases after them? 90.  Can a participle which is governed by a preposition, have a case after it which is governed by neither? 91.  How is the word man to be parsed in the following example?  “The atrocious crime of being a young man, I shall neither attempt to palliate, nor deny.”
