Erat ündecima höra. Raeda adhüc in fossä manëbat quod raedärius eam movëre nön poterat. Aürëlia sollicita erat; Cornëlia lacrimäbat; etiam puerï perïcula iam timëbant; Cornëlius in viä stäbat sollicitus et caelum spectäbat quod iam advesperäscëbat. Tandem Eucleidës, “Vidësne illud aedificium, domine?” inquit. “Videö,” Cornëlius respondet. “Quid est?” “Caupöna est. Vïsne igitur ibi pernoctäre, domine?” Clämat Aurëlia, “Ö më miseram! Caupönäs nön amö. Saepe ibi perïcula sunt magna. Fortasse caupö aliös equös habet. Fortasse equï caupönis raedam ë fossä extrahere possunt. In caupönä pernoctäre timeö.” Cür timës, mea domina?” Eucleidës rogat. “Nullum est perïculum. Omnës caupönae nön sunt perïculösae. Omnës caupönës nön sunt scelestï. Ille caupö est amïcus meus. Graecus est et vir bonus.” Tum Aurëlia, “Cornëlius est senätor Römänus. Senätörës Römänï in caupönïs nön pernoctant.” Cornëlius tamen, “Quid facere possumus?” inquit. “Hïc in Viä Appiä pernoctäre nön possumus. Nülla vehicula iam appärent quod advesperäscit. Est nüllum auxilium. Illa caupöna nön procul abest. Necesse est igitur ad caupönam ïre. Agite, puerï!” Itaque, dum Eucleidës Cornëliös ad caupönam dücëbat, raedärius sölus in viä manëbat; raedam et equös custödiëbat. In Chapter 17 we will: 1. Review present and imperfect tenses of regular verbs and the irregular verbs sum and possum. 2. Learn the complete conjugation of four irregular verbs: volö, nölö, ferö, and eö. volö, velle: the –le of the infinitive is –re assimilated to the base Pres. Imperf. volö volumus vïs vultis vult volunt volëbam volëbämus volëbäs volëbätis volëbat volëbant In the present tense, vol- changes to vul- when a consonant follows the root. The imperfect tense is made as though the verb were 3rd conjugation. nölö, nölle: the –le of the infinitive is –re assimilated to the base Pres. Imperf. nölö nölumus nön vïs nön vultis nön vult nölunt nölëbam nölëbämus nölëbäs nölëbätis nölëbat nölëbant This is a compound of nön + volö; in the present tense, the forms that have vo- in volö contract with nön; those that don’t begin voare written separately as the original form. The imperfect tense is made as though the verb were 3rd conjugation. ferö, ferre: this verb’s irregularity is that it does not have a stem vowel Pres. Imperf. ferö ferimus fers fertis fert ferunt ferëbam ferëbämus ferëbäs ferëbätis ferëbat ferëbant Personal endings are added directly to the root, but the first and third persons plural are treated as if they were 3rd conjugation. The imperfect tense is made as though the verb were 3rd conjugation. eö, ïre: the root of this verb is ïPres. Imperf. eö ïmus ïs ïtis it eunt ïbam ïbämus ïbäs ïbätis ïbat ïbant The root becomes short e when a vowel follows it. The imperfect adds the tense sign directly to the root. Ex. 17d: 1. Carry the chests to the inn, slaves! Ferte cistäs ad caupönam, servï! 2. Marcus, why are you carrying Sextus’ chest? Cür, Marce, cistam Sextï fers? 3. We do not wish to spend the night in an inn. In caupönä pernoctäre nölumus. 4. We were going to Rome. Römam ïbämus. 5. Sextus wants to see the great Roman buildings. Sextus magna aedificia Römäna vidëre vult. 6. Do you wish to see the buildings, Marcus? Vïsne, Marce, aedificia vidëre? 7. We are going to Rome today. Römam hodië ïmus. Ex. 17d cont’d: 8. The slow wagon is carrying a large load. Plaustrum tardum onus magnum fert. 9. All the Roman senators are going to the city. Omnës senätörës Römänï ad urbem eunt. 10. I am going to my country house. Ad vïllam meam eö.
