Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...usually find ie in Latin, e.g. societas, laniena, beside caritas, officina. But the e of conpromesise below suggests that this e is a relic of the old use of e for the diphthong-sound ei. nominus. The I.-Eur. Gen. Sg. of Consonant (3d Decl.) Stems ended either in-os, or-6s. The Greeks adopted the first ending, the Romans the second ( 10), though in early Latin we find isolated relies of the other form, a form which may have been long in use in the plebeian speech. socium. Gen. PI. ( 10). senatuos. On this 4th Decl. Gen., see my Latin Language, ch. vi. 21. iousiset. Apparently the first syllable of the Perfect of jubeo contained a diphthong originally, so that Class. Lat. jussi has taken the place of a discarded jusi. We even find a diphthong in the Present tense, in early Latin (see ioubeatis, below). This indicates that there may have been two rival stems, iub-and ioub-, to which the confusion of quantity has been due. magister was both Masc. and Pem. in early Latin, like puer; cf. Naevius, Bell. Pun. ii. (a Saturnian line): --prima incedit Cereris Proserpina puer. conpromeslse, see above on adiesent. oquoltod. The I.-Eur. root kel-, to hide, began with k, not q. The spelling here shews that quo and co had come to have the same sound in Latin, and so were interchanged. Similarly, the Prep. cum (I.-Eur. kom) is often written quom in early Latin (e.g. No. 45). popliood. This curious spelling popl-is usually referred to a confusion between publicus (from pubes, long u and b) and populus (with short o erndp). extrad. These Adverbs in-a were originally Abl. Sg. Fem. (see my Hist. Gram. ch. vii. 4), and so appear in early Latin inscriptions with a final-d ( 19). pious. One would expect plois (Hist. Gram. ch. iv. 3). Some com...
