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

5. **Causal clauses with *quia*** ("because"). Word order: *quia* + clause.
6. **Verb-stem trap**: *rīdet* is 2nd conj. (-et). A *\*rīdit* form would be a wrong analogical 3rd-conj. shape. Drill the -et vs. -it boundary explicitly.
7. **Interrogative vs. relative *quem***: same form, different function. *Quem Mārcus pulsat?* (question) vs. *puer quem Mārcus pulsat* (rel. clause modifying *puer*). Disambiguate by sentence shape (presence of antecedent + main clause).
## Common error patterns
- **Subject in accusative or object in nominative**: most common starter mistake. *Mārcus pulsat Iūlia* — wrong; should be *Mārcus pulsat Iūliam* (Iūlia is the object).
@@ -55,6 +61,9 @@ Topic argument supported (e.g. `/llpsi-c3 accusative`, `/llpsi-c3 verbs`, `/llps
- **Forgetting adjective agrees in case too**: *Mārcus puer īrātus est* (nom., correct) BUT *Iūlius puerum īrātus verberat* — wrong; should be *īrātum* (acc. m. sg.) to agree with *puerum*.
- **Relative pronoun case from antecedent (wrong)**: e.g. student says "the boy whom is laughing" → *puer quem rīdet* — wrong, should be *quī* (subject of *rīdet*).
- **Person in pronoun**: *Aemilia mē interrogat* spoken by Aemilia about herself — wrong perspective; ** = me (the speaker is the object).
- **Interrogative vs. relative *quem* confusion**: same form, different function. *Quem Mārcus pulsat?* is a question; *puer quem Mārcus pulsat* is a relative clause.
- **Treating *eum/eam* as nominative**: writing *eum rīdet* meaning "he laughs" — wrong; *eum* is acc. ("him"). Subject "he" is *is* (or unstated).
- **Dropping *-m* on acc. sg.**: especially neuter (students think "neuter = no ending") writing *\*oppidu*; or omitting agreement *-am* on adjectives.

8. **Parse**: present a word and ask for case+number (and gender if needed).
9. **Interrogative vs. relative *quem* discrimination**: translate *Quem Mārcus pulsat?* (whom does M. strike?) vs. *puer quem Mārcus pulsat plōrat* (the boy whom M. strikes is crying).
10. **Pronoun substitution**: replace named object with *eum/eam**Mārcus Iūliam pulsat**Mārcus eam pulsat*; *Aemilia Mārcum vocat**Aemilia eum vocat*.
