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

**Adjectives**: *pulcher, pulchra, pulchrum* (beautiful — mixed-stem 1st/2nd decl., genitive *pulchrī, pulchrae, pulchrī*; the *e* drops in oblique cases); *foedus -a -um* (ugly); *sōlus -a -um* (alone — like *ūnus*: gen. *sōlīus*, dat. *sōlī*, but mostly nom/acc seen here).

5. **Pronoun *is/ea/id* full paradigm** (see table above). Drill systematically.
6. **Adjective *pulcher***: 1st/2nd decl. but with stem change. Nom.sg.m. *pulcher* (no -us!), but oblique cases drop the *e*: *pulchrī, pulchrō, pulchrum, pulchrō*; fem. *pulchra, pulchrae*; n. *pulchrum*. Compare *foedus* (regular *-us, -a, -um*).
6. **Adjective *pulcher***: 1st/2nd decl. but with stem change. Nom.sg.m. *pulcher* (no -us!), but oblique cases drop the *e*: *pulchrī, pulchrō, pulchrum, pulchrō*; fem. *pulchra, pulchrae*; n. *pulchrum*. Compare *foedus* (regular *-us, -a, -um*). Pattern note: *pulcher* parallels *liber, libera, liberum* (e drops in oblique); contrast *miser, misera, miserum* (e stays).
7. **Relative pronoun *quī/quae/quod*** (nom. only at this stage): introduces a clause modifying a preceding noun. *Iūlius, **quī** in vīllā habitat, dominus est.* — m. *quī*, f. *quae*, n. *quod*. Agrees in gender/number with antecedent.
8. **Possessive *suus/sua/suum* agreement**: *suus* agrees in case/number/gender with the **noun it modifies**, NOT the possessor. *Iūlius vīllam **suam** amat* (fem. acc., agrees with *vīllam*, not with *Iūlius*).
9. **Genitive plural -ōrum / -ārum** generalized: pattern from *eōrum/eārum* extends to nouns — *servōrum, vīllārum, oppidōrum* ("of the slaves/villas/towns").
## Common error patterns

- ***pulcher* declension**: *pulcherus* — wrong; nom.sg.m. is *pulcher* (no -us). But *pulchrus* would also be wrong; the stem retains *e* only in nom.sg.m.
- **Confusing *eōs* (acc. m. pl.) with *eōrum* (gen. m. pl.)**: student writes *eōrum vocō* meaning "I call them" — should be *eōs vocō* (acc.). Note: *vocō* is 1sg, which the student doesn't formally have yet — stick to 3rd person.
- **Word order in commands**: imperatives can come anywhere; don't penalize *Mārce et Quīnte, Iūliam vocāte!* vs. *Vocāte Iūliam, Mārce et Quīnte!*
- ***suus* vs. *eius***: *suus* = "his/her **own**" (refers to subject); *eius* = "of him/her" (someone else). *Iūlius **suam** vīllam amat* (his own) vs. *Iūlius **eius** vīllam amat* (someone else's).
- **Gen. sg. (1st decl.) *-ae* vs. nom. pl. *-ae***: *fīliae* is ambiguous — "of the daughter" or "the daughters." Disambiguate by verb number / context.
- **2nd decl. n. pl. *-a* looks like 1st decl. f. nom. sg. *-a***: *verba* (n. pl., "words") vs. *aqua* (f. sg., "water"). Gender-mark the lexeme, don't guess from the ending.

8. **Spot the error**: "Iūlia ex hortō venit cum quīnque rosae." → *cum quīnque rosīs* (cum takes ablative; rosae is nom/gen sg or nom pl).
