245. #-bulo-#, N. #-bulu-m# (202): #pā-bulo-#, N. #pā-bulu-m#, _fodder_ (√#pā-#, _keep_); #vēnā-bulu-m#, _hunting-spear_ (#vēnā-rī#); #pat-ibulu-m#, _pillory_ (√#pat-#, _stretch_). #-bulo-# sometimes denotes the place where: #sta-bulu-m#, _standing-place_, _stall_ (√#sta-#, _stand_). #-bulā-#, N. #-bula#, F., rare: #sū-bula#, _awl_ (√#su-#, _sew_); #ta-bula#, _board_ (√#ta-#, _stretch_); #fā-bula#, _talk_ (√#fā-#, _talk_).

(B.) DENOMINATIVES.

I. THE QUALITY.

246. The suffixes #-io-#, #-iā-#; #-tā-#, #-tāt-#, #-tūt-#, #-tū-din-#, are used to denote the _Quality_: as,

STEM. NOMINATIVE. FROM.

conlēg-io- conlēgium, _colleagueship_ conlēgā-, N. conlēga, _colleague_ audāc-iā- audācia, _boldness_ audāci-, N. audāx, _bold_ cīvi-tāt- cīvitās, _citizenship_ cīvi-, N. cīvis, _citizen_ magni-tūdin- magnitūdō, _greatness_ magno-, N. magnus, _great_

247. These abstracts are feminine, and come chiefly from adjectives or participles, except those in #-io-#, which are neuters, and come mostly from substantives. Sometimes the same stem takes two or more of these suffixes: as, #clāri-tāt-# or #clāri-tūdin-#, _brightness_ (#clāro-#); #iuven-tūt-#, in poetry #iuven-tāt-# or #iuven-tā-#, _youth_ (#iuven-#).

(1.) #-io-# (N. #-iu-m#), #-iā-# (N. #-ia#), #-iē-# (N. #-iēs#).

248. #-iē-# sometimes occurs as collateral form to #-iā-# (604); #-io-# or #-iā-# is sometimes attached to other suffixes: thus, #-t-io-#, #-t-iā-# (#-t-iē-#); #-mōn-io-#, #-mōn-iā-#; #-cin-io-#.

249. #-io-#, N. #-iu-m#, chiefly used in compounds, denotes _belonging to_, with a very wide range of meaning; many of these words are clearly neuter adjectives in #-io-# (305). Suffixed to personal names #-io-# often denotes the condition, action, or employment, which gives rise to the name; this meaning sometimes passes over to that of result, relation of persons, collection of persons, or place.

250. (_a._) From simple noun stems: #sen-io-#, N. #sen-iu-m#, _feeble old age_ (#sen-#); #somn-iu-m#, _dream_ (#somno-#); #sāv-iu-m#, _love-kiss_ (#suāvi-#); #silent-iu-m#, _silence_ (#silenti-#); #crepund-ia#, plural, _rattle_ (#*crepundo-#); #mendāc-iu-m#, _lie_ (#mendāci-#); #sōlāc-iu-m#, _comfort_ (#*sōlāci-#, _comforting_).

252. (_c._) Indirect compounds (377), chiefly from personal names: #cōnsil-iu-m#, _deliberating together_, _faculty of deliberation_, _conclusion_, _advice_, _deliberative body_ (#cōnsul-#); #auspic-iu-m#, _taking auspices_, _auspices taken_ (#auspic-#); #rēmig-iu-m#, _rowing_, _oars_, _oarsmen_ (#rēmig-#); #conlēg-iu-m#, _colleagueship_, _corporation_ (#conlēgā-#); #aedific-iu-m#, _building_ (#*aedific-#, _builder_); #perfug-iu-m#, _asylum_ (#perfugā-#).

253. #-t-io-# N. #-t-iu-m#, rare: #servi-tio-#, N. #servi-tiu-m#, _slavery_, _slaves_ (#servo-#); #calvi-tiu-m#, _baldness_ (#calvo-#).

255. #-cin-io-#, N. #-cin-iu-m#, rare: #latrō-cinio-#, N. #latrō-ciniu-m#, _robbery_ (#latrōn-#); #patrō-ciniu-m#, _protection_ (#patrōno-#).

256. #-iā-#, N. #-ia#, is very common indeed, forming abstracts from nouns, mostly adjectives or present participles.

257. #-iē-#, N. #-iē-s#: #pauper-iē-#, N. #pauper-iē-s#, _moderate means_ (#pauper-#). Most stems in #-iē-# are primitive (222).

258. #-t-iā-#, N. #-t-ia#, is suffixed to a few adjective stems, chiefly in #-o-#: #iūsti-tiā-#, N. #iūsti-tia#, _justice_ (#iūsto-#); #mali-tia#, _wickedness_ (#malo-#); #pudīci-tia#, _shamefastness_ (#pudīco-#); #trīsti-tia#, _sadness_ (#trīsti-#).

259. #-t-iē-#, N. #-t-iē-s#, particularly as a collateral form of #-t-iā-# in the N., Ac., and Ab. singular (604): #molli-tiē-#, N. #molli-tiē-s#, _softness_ (#molli-#).

260. #-mōn-iā-#, N. #-mōn-ia# (202): #ācri-mōniā-#, N. #ācri-mōnia#, _sharpness_ (#ācri-#); #parsi-mōnia#, _economy_ (#parso-#). Analogously from roots, #quer-imōnia#, _complaint_ (√#ques-#, _complain_); #al-imōnia#, _nurture_ (√#al-#, _nurture_).

261. #-tā-#, N. #-ta#: chiefly poetic: #iuven-tā-#, N. #iuven-ta#, _youth_ (#iuven-#); #senec-ta#, _age_ (#sen-ec-#).

262. #-tāt-#, N. #-tā-s# (202), is one of the very commonest suffixes.

263. #-tūt-#, N. #-tū-s#, only in #iuven-tūt-#, N. #iuven-tū-s#, _youth_ (#iuven-#), #senec-tū-s#, _age_ (#senec-#), #servi-tū-s#, _slavery_ (#servo-#), and #vir-tū-s#, _manhood_ (#viro-#, 111).

II. THE PERSON CONCERNED.

265. The suffixes #-ārio-#, #-ōn-#, #-iōn-#, #-li-#, #-no-#, and some others, are used to denote the _Person concerned_ or _occupied_ with a thing: as,

STEM. NOMINATIVE. FROM.

sīc-ārio- sīcārius, _assassin_ sīcā-, N. sīca, _dagger_ āle-ōn- āleō, _gambler_ āleā-, N. ālea, _die_ lūd-iōn- lūdiō, _player_ lūdo-, N. lūdus, _play_ aedī-li- aedīlis, _aedile_ aedi-, N. aedis, _house_ tribū-no- tribūnus, _tribune_ tribu-, N tribus, _tribe_

266. Neuters with the suffixes #-tōrio-#, #-ārio-#, #-īli-#, #-to-#, or #-ēto-# are often used to denote the _Place_: as,

STEM. NOMINATIVE. FROM.

audī-tōrio- audī-tōrium, _lecture-room_ audītōr-, N. audītor, _hearer_ aer-ārio- aerārium, _treasury_ aer-, N. aes, _money_ ov-īli- ovīle, _sheepfold_ ovi-, N. ovis, _sheep_ murt-ēto- murtēta, _myrtlegroves_ murto-, N. murtus, _myrtle_

IV. DIMINUTIVES.

267. The suffixes #-lo-#, #-lā-#, or #-cu-lo-#, #-cu-lā-#, are used to form substantives with a _Diminutive_ meaning. Diminutives may denote:

268. (1.) Actual smallness: as, #secūricula#, _a little hatchet_; #ventulus#, _a bit of wind_; #spēcula#, _a ray of hope_.

269. (2.) Imputed smallness: implying, (_a._) admiration, affection, or compassion; (_b._) contempt or irony. This diminutive, which usually serves to add point to sentences themselves of a playful, patronizing, or slurring character, is very hard to translate; _little_ and _small_ are often inadequate; _old_ or _poor_ will sometimes do; but usually recourse must be had to free translations adapted to the particular context: as,

#ōrātiuncula#, _a gem of a speech_, _an attempt at a speech_; #mātercula#, _an anxious mother_, _poor mamma_, _dear mamma_; #lectulus#, _one’s own little bed_; #ānellus aureolus#, _a gay gold ring_; #Graeculī#, _our Greek cousins_, _the good people in Greece_; #Graeculus#, _a regular Greek_, _your gentleman from Greece_; #muliercula#, _a pretty girl_, _a lady gay_, _one of the gentler sex_, _a mere woman_, _an unprotected female_, _a maiden all forlorn_; #lacrimula#, _a wee tear_, _a crocodile tear_; #volpēcula#, _Master Reynard_, _dan Russel_; #tōnstrīcula#, _a common barber girl_; #popellus#, _rabble_; #nummulī#, _filthy lucre_; #mercēdula#, _an apology for pay_; #ratiuncula#, _a first rate reason_; #caupōnula#, _a low tavern_.

270. Some diminutives have entirely lost the diminutive meaning: as, #puella#, _girl_, not necessarily _little girl_; others have changed their original meaning: as, #avunculus#, _uncle_, originally _grandpapa_; #anguīlla#, _eel_, originally _little snake_. Some words are only found in the diminutive form: as, #stēlla#, _star_ (#*ster-#). Diminutives usually have the gender of their primitives; exceptions are rare: as, #rāna#, _frog_, #F.#, #rānunculus#, _tadpole_, #M.#

[Erratum: 270 ... #F.# ... #M.# anomalous boldface in original]

(1.) #-lo-# (N., M. #-lu-s#, Ne. #-lu-m#), #-lā-# (N. #-la#).

271. Stems in #-o-#, #-ā-#, or a mute (#-g-#, #-c-#, #-d-#, or #-t-#), take #-lo-# or #-lā-#, which is usually preceded by #-u-# (202).

#hortu-lo-#, N. #hortu-lu-s#, _little garden_ (#horto-#); #oppidu-lu-m#, _hamlet_ (#oppido-#); #serru-lā-#, N. #serru-la#, _little saw_ (#serrā-#); #rēg-ulu-s#, _chieftain_ (#rēg-#); #vōc-ula#, _a bit of a voice_ (#vōc-#); #calc-ulu-s#, _pebble_ (#calci-#); #nepōt-ulu-s#, _a grandson dear_ (#nepōt-#); #aetāt-ula#, _tender age_ (#aetāt-#).

272. Stems in #-eo-#, #-io-#, or #-vo-#, retain #-o-# before #-lo-#; stems in #-eā-#, #-iā-#, or #-vā-#, also have #-o-# before #-lā-#.

#alveo-lo-#, N. #alveo-lu-s#, _little tray_ (#alveo-#); #gladio-lu-s#, _little sword_ (#gladio-#); #servo-lu-s#, _little slave_ (#servo-#); #nauseo-lā-#, N. #nauseo-la#, _a slight squeamishness_ (#nauseā-#); #bēstio-la#, _little animal_ (#bēstiā-#); #fīlio-la#, _little daughter_ (#fīliā-#).

273. Stems in #-lo-#, #-ro-#, #-no-#, and #-lā-#, #-rā-#, #-nā-#, commonly drop the stem vowel and assimilate #-r-# or #-n-# to #-l-#: thus: #-el-lo-#, #-el-lā-# (111, _b_; 166, 6, 7).

#catel-lo-#, for #*catululo-#, N. #catel-lu-s#, _puppy_ (#catulo-#); #agel-lu-s#, _little field_ (#agro-#); #asel-lu-s#, _donkey_ (#asino-#); #fābel-lā-#, N. #fābel-la#, _short story_ (#fābulā-#); #umbel-la#, _sunshade_ (#umbrā-#); #pāgel-la#, _short page_ (#pāginā-#). A few words are not thus changed: #pueru-lo-#, N. #pueru-lu-s#, _poor boy_ (#puero-#), as well as #puel-lu-s#.

274. Another vowel than #e# (172, 3) appears in: #Hispāl-lu-s# (#Hispāno-#), #Messāl-la# (#Messānā-#), proper names; #corōl-la#, _chaplet_ (#corōnā-#); #ūl-lu-s#, _the least one_, _any at all_ (#ūno-#); #Sūl-la# (#Sūrā-#), proper name; #lapil-lu-s#, for #*lapid-lu-s#, _pebble_ (#lapid-#). Also #homul-lu-s#, _son of the dust_ (#homon-#).

[Erratum: 273 ... #-el-lo-#, #-el-lā-# (111, _b_; 166, 6, 7). 111; _b_;]

(2.) #-cu-lo-# (N., M. #-cu-lu-s#, Ne. #-cu-lu-m#), #-cu-lā-# (N. #-cu-la#).

275. Stems in a continuous sound (#-l-#, #-n-#, #-r-#, or #-s-#), or in #-i-#, #-u-#, or #-ē-#, usually take #-cu-lo-# or #-cu-lā-#.

#sermūn-culo-#, N. #sermūn-culu-s#, _small-talk_ (#sermōn-#); #virgun-culā-#, N. #virgun-cula#, _little maid_ (#virgon-#); #homun-culu-s#, _son of earth_ (#homon-#); #arbus-cula#, _tiny tree_ (#arbos-#); #cor-culu-m#, _heart of hearts_ (#cord-#, 170, 12); #igni-culu-s#, _spark_ (#igni-#); #ani-cula#, _grandam_ (#anu-#); #diē-cula#, _brief day_ (#diē-#); analogously, #volpē-cula# (_vixen_), _little fox_ (#*volpē-#). Rarely with #ī#: #canī-cula#, _little dog_ (#can-#).

276. #-un-culo-#, N. #-un-culu-s#: #av-unculo-#, N. #av-unculu-s#, _uncle_ (#avo-#); #rān-unculu-s#, _tadpole_ (#rānā-#). #-un-culā-#, N. #-un-cula#: #dom-unculā-#, N. #dom-uncula#, _little house_ (#domo-#).

277. Diminutives are sometimes formed from other diminutives: #cistel-lu-la#, _casket_ (#cistel-la#, #cistu-la#, #cistā-#).

278. A few other suffixes have a diminutive meaning: as, #-ciōn-#, #-leo-#, #-astro-#, #-ttā-#: #homun-ciō#, _manikin_, _child of dust_ (#homon-#); #acu-leu-s#, _sting_ (#acu-#); #Antōni-aster#, _regular little Antony_; #pīn-aster#, _bastard pine_; #Iūli-tta#, _Juliet_ (#Iūliā-#); #Pōlli-tta#, _little Polla_ (#Pōllā-#).

V. PATRONYMICS.

279. Patronymics, or proper names which denote descent from a father or ancestor, have stems in #-dā-# (N. #-dē-s#), F. #-d-# (N. #-s#). These are chiefly Greek names used in poetry.

#Prīami-dā-#, N. #Prīami-dē-s#, _scion of Priam’s house_; #Tantali-d-#, N. #Tantali-s#, _daughter of Tantalus_. #Pēlī-dē-s# (#Pēleu-s#); #Aenea-dē-s# (#Aenēā-#); #Thestia-dē-s# (#Thestio-#); #Lāertia-dē-s# (#Lāertā-#); #Scīpia-dā-s# (#Scīpiōn-#). #F.# sometimes #-īnē# or #-ōnē#: #Neptūnīnē# (#Neptūno-#); #Acrisiōnē# (#Acrisio-#).

II. THE ADJECTIVE.

(A.) PRIMITIVES.

280. Primitive adjectives may usually be divided into active and passive; but the same suffix often has either an active or a passive meaning. Under primitive adjectives belong the participles; but these will be mentioned in connection with the verb.

I. WITH AN ACTIVE MEANING.

281. The suffixes #-o-#, #-uo-#, #-ci-#, #-lo-#, and #-do-#, are used to form adjectives with an _Active_ meaning: as,

STEM. NOMINATIVE. FROM.

vag-o- vagus, _wandering_ √+vag-+, _wander_ contig-uo- contiguus, _touching_ com-, √+tag-+, _touch_ minā-ci- mināx, _threatening_ minā-rī, _threaten_ cali-do- calidus, _warm_ √+cal-+, _warm_

(1.) #-o-# (N. #-u-s#); #-uo-# (N. #-uu-s#).

282. #-o-# (N. #-u-s#): such words express nature or capacity: #vag-o-#, N. #vag-u-s#, _roaming_ (√#vag-#, _roam_); #vīv-u-s#, _living_ (√#vīv-#, _live_); many are compounds: as, #male-dic-u-s#, _abusive_ (#male#, √#dic-#, _say_); #pro-fug-u-s#, _flying on_ (#prō-#, √#fug-#, _fly_). Passive: #fīd-u-s#, _trustworthy_ (√#fīd-#, _trust_).

283. #-uo-#, N. #-uu-s#: #adsid-uo-#, N. #adsid-uu-s#, _unremitting_ (#ad#, √#sed-#, _sit_); #contig-uu-s#, _touching_ (#com-#, √#tag-#, _touch_); #perpet-uu-s#, _uninterrupted_ (#per#, √#pet-#, _go_).

288. #-undo-# (#-endo-#), N. #-undu-s#, (#-endu-s#) is the suffix of the gerundive, which was originally neither active nor passive (2238).

II. WITH A PASSIVE MEANING.

291. The suffixes #-li-#, #-ti-li-#, #-bili-#, #-tīvo-#, #-no-#, and #-mino-#, are used to form adjectives with a _Passive_ meaning: as,

Rarely active: as, #fer-tili-s#, _productive_ (√#fer-#, _bear_).

294. #-bili-#, N. #-bili-s# (202), denotes passive capability like #-i-li-#, but is far more common: #horr-ibili-s#, _exciting a shudder_ (cf. #horrē-re#); #amā-bili-s#, _lovable_ (#amā-re#); #flē-bili-s#, _lamentable_ (√#flē-#, _weep_).

297. The suffix #-mino-# (for #-meno-#, 103, _a_) in its weakest form (135, 2) is found in a few substantives: as, #alu-mnu-s#, _nursling_ (√#al-#, _nurse_). The endings #-minī# (730) and #-minō# (731) are apparently case forms of the same suffix. #-minō# would seem to be an ablative; #-minī# may be a nominative plural.

II. _Appurtenance_: implying sometimes _possession_, often _fitness_, _conformity_, _character_, or _origin_. III. _Supply._ IV. Diminutives. V. Comparatives and Superlatives; a few of these are primitive.
