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

## Common error patterns
- **3rd-decl. neuter wrong stem**: *corpus → genitive corpusis* — wrong; stem changes: *corporis*. Same *pectoris, ōris, crūris, capitis, cordis*. Always learn the gen. with the noun.

- ***manus* declined as 2nd-decl.**: *manī* (gen.) — wrong; 4th-decl. gen. sg. is *manūs* (with macron). Don't confuse with nom. pl. *manūs* (also -ūs, distinguished by context).
- ***ōs* (mouth, n.) confused with *os* (bone, n.)**: same nominative spelling without macrons; gen. *ōris* (mouth) vs. *ossis* (bone).
- ***atque* / *nec***: *atque* = *et* (often before vowels); *nec* = *neque*. Don't translate as a different word.
- **Gender of *sanguis***: students assume neuter (inanimate substance) — wrong; *sanguis* is **masculine**: *sanguis ruber*, not *sanguis rubrum*.
- ***venter* (m. sg., belly) vs. *viscera* (n. pl., internal organs)**: confusing gender/number. *venter dolet* (m. sg.); *viscera dolent* (n. pl.).
