Fill coverage gaps in chapters 1-11

Audited each chapter file against actual LLPSI Familia Romana content
using parallel reviewers (Claude general-purpose subagents, codex, gemini).
Each chapter gained missing vocabulary, grammar points, common-error
patterns, and exercise types. ~190 lines added across 11 files.

Highlights per chapter:
- c1: geography proper nouns, -us fem. exceptions, num-question answer pattern
- c2: -er paradigm contrast (puer/vir/liber), -que rewrite drill
- c3: interrog. vs. relative quem, neque rewrite
- c4: nullus/UNUS NAUTA, -ius vocative, eius/suus contrast
- c5: relative pron. (nom.), suus agreement, -ae ambiguity
- c6: passus 4th-decl preview, mille/milia, autem postpositive
- c7: cui drill, plenus + gen., quod (because/relative/interrog.) trap
- c8: hic/ille discourse force, UNUS NAUTA class, quantus/quot trap
- c9: stem recovery from gen., ipse emphasis target, sub + abl. for location
- c10: fera vs. ferus, abesse/adesse/ire infinitives, quia/quod synonymy
- c11: full posse paradigm, dat. of reference (mihi dolet), gaudere syntax

10. ***necesse est*** + dat. of person + infinitive: "it is necessary for X to ___." *Spīrāre necesse est hominī.* "Breathing is necessary for a human."

## Common error patterns
- **Confusing infinitive endings -ere vs. -ēre** (3rd vs. 2nd conj.): *vidēre* (2nd, long ē) vs. *vīvere* (3rd, short e). Without macrons, only memory tells you. *vidēre potest, vīvere potest.*

- ***homō* declension**: *homō, hominis* — student writes *homonem* — wrong; acc. is *hominem* (vowel change in stem). Pl. *hominēs, hominum.*
- ***quod* (because) vs. *quod* (n. relative)**: same form. Context: *quod* + clause with finite verb usually = "because"; *quod* with antecedent noun = relative.
- **Translating "wants" with present of *amāre***: *Iūlia lūdere amat* — wrong; use *vult: Iūlia lūdere vult.*
- **Acc. of *āer***: students assume 1st-decl. *āeram* — wrong; *āēr* is 3rd decl., acc. *āerem*.
- **Mixing *volāre* (to fly) with *velle* (to want)** because of similar *vol-* root: *aquila volat* (flies) vs. *aquila volat capere* — wrong; "wants to" is *vult* (*aquila capere vult*).
- ***quia* vs. *quod***: both = "because" and are largely interchangeable; don't treat them as different in meaning.
