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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

6. **Compound prefixes *ad-/ab-***: *adest* (is here, ad+est), *abest* (is away, ab+est), *adsunt, absunt*. Just lexical; not yet a productive rule for the student.

7. ***nūllus* paradigm** — the **ŪNUS NAUTA** group (*ūnus, sōlus, tōtus, alter, ūllus, nūllus, neuter, alius*): pronominal endings in gen. sg. **-īus** and dat. sg. **-ī** for all genders. *nūllus, nūllīus, nūllī, nūllum, nūllō*. Recognition level only in c4.

8. **Vocative of *-ius* names**: contracted to single **-ī**: *fīlius → fīlī!*, *Iūlius → Iūlī!*, *Cornēlius → Cornēlī!*. Plus the irregular vocative *meus → mī*: *mī fīlī!*
|
||||

||||
9. ***suus* refers to the subject of its own clause** — works equally with plural subjects: *Iūlius et Aemilia servōs suōs vocant* (their own slaves, not someone else's).

## Common error patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- **Vocative wrong**: student says *Mārcus, venī!* — should be *Mārce, venī!* (vocative).

|
||||
- **Pronoun *is* gender confusion**: *is* = he, *ea* = she, *id* = it. Student says *id* for "she" — wrong.
|
||||
- **Imperative form same as indicative**: in 1st/2nd conj., it's tempting to use *vocat* as a command — wrong, it's *vocā* (sg.). The indicative -t ending is third-person, not a command.
|
||||
- **3rd-conj. imperative -e looks like nothing**: *pōne!* is the right form; students often want *pōnī!* by analogy with *audī!* — flag the contrast (3rd vs. 4th).
|
||||
- ***suus* with 1st/2nd person subject**: Latin uses *meus/tuus* when subject is *ego/tū*. *Suus* is reflexive only for 3rd-person subjects.
|
||||
- **Confusing *quod* (rel. n.) with *quod* (interrog. adj. "which?")**: same form; disambiguate by clause shape (relative attaches to antecedent; interrog. heads a question with a noun).
|
||||
- **Imperative macron**: long *-ā* in *vocā́* distinguishes 1st conj. imperative from a hypothetical short form. Macrons matter for class identification.

7. **Spot the error**: "Mārcus, vidēt baculum." → vocative wrong (should be *Mārce*); also *vidēt* has a stray macron — should be *videt*.
