18. duxit. This word came to mean 'marry,' because the bridegroom 'led'
his bride in a wedding procession to his own home. It will be seen, therefore, that it can be used only of the man. Paucos annos. See the note on 3, 20. 20. omnis. What does the quantity of the _i_ tell you about the form? 7. 1. quod, not the relative pronoun, but a conjunction. 3. eo, the adverb. in atrium. Although inrupit means 'burst _into_,' the preposition is nevertheless required with the noun to express the place into which he burst. 6. ille. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4. 8. Acrisi. In Nepos, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, the genitive singular of second-declension nouns in _-ius_ and _-ium_ ends in _i_, not _ii_; but the nominative plural ends in _ii_, and the dative and ablative plural in _iis_. 10. istud. Remember that _iste_ is commonly used of something connected with the person addressed. Here the meaning may be 'that oracle I told you of.' See 3, 4. 12. Larisam. See the note on 3, 12. neque enim, 'for ... not,' as if simply _non enim_, but Latin uses _neque_ |
