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>

7. ***tantus...quantus*** correlation: "as big as." *Pretium illīus ānulī tantum est quantum huius.* "The price of that ring is as big as (that) of this one."
|
||||
|
||||
8. **Speaker-perspective demonstratives**: *hic* = near the speaker ("this one here"); *ille* = far from speaker / "that one over there." Not just bland this/that — track who is pointing and from where. *Hic ānulus* (the one I'm holding) vs. *ille ānulus* (the one on the far shelf).
|
||||
|
||||
9. **Pronominal-adjective class (UNUS NAUTA group)**: *ūnus, sōlus, tōtus, alius, alter, ūllus, neuter, nūllus, uter* — plus demonstratives *ipse, iste, ille, hic* — all share gen. sg. **-īus** and dat. sg. **-ī** for every gender. *ūnīus, sōlīus, tōtīus, alterīus, illīus, ipsīus*; dat. *ūnī, sōlī, illī, ipsī*.

## Common error patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- ***hoc* spelled as *huc* or confused with *hunc***: *hunc* = acc. m. sg.; *hoc* = nom./acc. n. sg. *aspice hunc ānulum* (m. acc.) but *hoc ōrnāmentum* (n. acc.).

|
||||
- ***alia* (n. pl.) vs. *aliae* (f. pl. nom.)**: *alia ōrnāmenta* (n. pl. — correct); *aliae feminae* (f. pl. — correct). Watch the gender of the noun.
|
||||
- ***hic/ille* agreement with neut. *ōrnāmentum***: *hic ōrnāmentum* — wrong; *hoc ōrnāmentum*. *ille ōrnāmentum* — wrong; *illud ōrnāmentum*.
|
||||
- **Forgetting *aut* (or) vs. *et* (and)**: *centum sēstertiōs et nūllōs* — wrong context; should be *aut nūllōs* ("or none").
|
||||
- ***quantus* vs. *quot***: *quantus* = "how great/big" (adj., agrees); *quot* = "how many" (indecl., counts). *Quantum pretium?* "How big a price?" vs. *Quot sēstertiī?* "How many sesterces?"
|
||||
- ***cuius* vs. *cui***: *cuius* = gen. ("whose"); *cui* = dat. ("to/for whom"). *Cuius est ānulus?* (whose ring is it?) vs. *Cui Iūlius ānulum dat?* (to whom does Julius give the ring?).
|
||||
- **Treating *hīs* / *illīs* as only dative OR only ablative**: they are **both** dat. and abl. pl. *hīs servīs dat* (dat.) vs. *cum hīs servīs* (abl.) — same form, different job.
|
||||
- **Bland "this/that" for *hic* / *ille***: losing the speaker-perspective. *Hic* points to what's near the speaker; *ille* to what's away. Translate with that contrast in mind.
