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

6. **Numbers with gender**: *duo virī, duae ancillae, duo oppida; trēs virī, trēs ancillae, tria oppida.* (*duo* and *trēs* inflect; ūnus already known to inflect.)
7. **2nd-decl. *-er* nouns — two patterns**:
- **Drops -e- in oblique**: *liber, librī, librō* (and *magister, magistrī*).
- **Keeps -e-**: *puer, puerī, puerō*; *vir, virī, virō*.
- No rule predicts which — must be memorized per word.
8. **Genitive of proper names** (drill explicitly): *Iūlius → Iūliī*; *Aemilia → Aemiliae*; *Mārcus → Mārcī*; *Quīntus → Quīntī*.
## Common error patterns
- **Genitive vs. nom. pl. confusion**: student parses *fīliī* as gen. sg. when it's nom. pl. (or vice versa). Always disambiguate by what's around it.
@@ -53,6 +61,10 @@ If invoked with a topic (e.g. `/llpsi-c2 genitive`), focus there. Otherwise mix.
- **Missing -ōrum in gen. pl.**: student says "of the slaves" as *servī* (gen. sg.) — must be *servōrum*.
- **Gender of *liber***: it's masculine despite ending in -er; gen. is *librī*. Easy trap.
- **Wrong gender of *duo***: student says *duo ancillae* — should be *duae ancillae*.
- ***-er* paradigm cross-contamination**: dropping the *e* in *puer* (*\*prī*) by analogy with *liber → librī*, or keeping it in *liber* (*\*liberī*). Memorize per word.
- **Overusing *et***: *Mārcus et Quīntus et Iūlia* is grammatical but Ørberg prefers *-que* on the last item: *Mārcus, Quīntus Iūliaque*.
- **Confusing *quī?* (m. pl.) with *quis?* (sg.)**: *quis est?* (one person) vs. *quī sunt?* (multiple men).
- ***cuius* is invariant**: students invent *\*cuiae* by analogy with adjective endings — wrong; *cuius* covers all genders.

6. **Spot the error**: "Numerus ancillae magnus est." → should be *ancillārum* (gen. pl., to mean "the number of slave-girls").
7. **Possessive agreement**: "How would Iūlia say 'my mother'?" → *māter mea.*
8. **Parse**: present a word in context and ask for case + number (+ gender if ambiguous).
9. **Family-tree Q&A**: "Quis est pater Mārcī?" → *Iūlius.* "Quot līberī sunt in familiā Iūliī?" → *trēs līberī sunt.*
