[44] Fully conjugated only in the compounds:  exstinguo, restinguo, distinguo.

[45] Only in the compounds:  evado, invado, pervado.

[46] It will be observed that not all the forms of fero lack the connecting vowel.  Some of them, as ferimus, ferunt, follow the regular inflection of verbs of the Third Conjugation.

[47] For the Predicate Genitive, see Sec. 198, 3; 203, 5.

[48] Many such verbs were originally intransitive in English also, and once governed the Dative.

[49] This was the original form of the preposition cum.

[50] Place from which, though strictly a Genuine Ablative use, is treated here for sake of convenience.

[51] Especially:  moneo, admoneo; rogo, oro, peto, postulo, precor, flagito; mando, impero, praecipio; suadeo, hortor, cohortor; persuadeo, impello.

[52] Especially:  permitto, concedo, non patior.

[53] Especially:  prohibeo, impedio, deterreo.

[54] Especially:  constituo, decerno, censeo, placuit, convenit, paciscor.

[55] Especially:  laboro, do operam, id ago, contendo, impetro.

[56] Exclamations, also, upon becoming indirect, take the Subjunctive, as considera quam variae sint hominum cupidines, consider how varied are the desires of men. (Direct:  quam variae sunt hominum cupidines!)

[57] Tradituri fuerint and erraturus fueris are to be regarded as representing tradituri fuerunt and erraturus fuisti of Direct Discourse.  (See Sec. 304, 3, b.)

[58] Except in Sallust and Silver Latin.

[59] So named from a fancied analogy to the strokes of the Greek letter (chi).  Thus:—­

  multos laesi
          chi
  defendi neminem

[60] The pronouns hic, hoc, and the adverb huc, probably had a short vowel.  The syllable was made long by pronouncing hicc, hocc, etc.

[61] Ictus was not accent,—­neither stress accent not musical accent,—­but was simply the quantitative prominence inherent in the long syllables of fundamental feet.

[62] For explanation of the abbreviations, see p. 257.
