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>

|
||
## Grammar introduced in Cap. XI
|
||
|
||
1. **3rd-declension neuters** — explicit paradigm:
|
||
|
||
| | sg. | pl. |
|
||
|-------|------------|----------------|
|
||
| nom. | corpus | corpora |
|
||
| acc. | corpus | corpora |
|
||
| gen. | corporis | corporum |
|
||
| dat. | corporī | corporibus |
|
||
| abl. | corpore | corporibus |
|
||
|
||
Rule: nom. = acc. (always for neuters); pl. nom./acc. = **-a**.
|
||
|
||
Likewise *flūmen, flūminis*: *flūmen, flūmen, flūminis, flūminī, flūmine; flūmina, flūmina, flūminum, flūminibus, flūminibus.*
|
||
|
||
2. **i-stem neuters** *mare, animal* (review from c10):
|
||
|
||
| | sg. | pl. |
|
||
|-------|------------|----------------|
|
||
| nom. | mare | maria |
|
||
| acc. | mare | maria |
|
||
| gen. | maris | marium |
|
||
| dat. | marī | maribus |
|
||
| abl. | **marī** | maribus |
|
||
|
||
Animal: abl. sg. *animālī*, gen. pl. *animālium*, nom./acc. pl. *animālia*.
|
||
|
||
3. **Accusative + infinitive** — formalized as "*accūsātīvus cum īnfīnītīvō*." Used after:
|
||
- **vidēre, audīre, sentīre** (perception): *Puer medicum adesse videt.*
|
||
- **iubēre** (order): *Dominus servum discēdere iubet.*
|
||
- **dīcere** (say): *Quīntus 'pedem dolēre' dīcit.*
|
||
- **putāre** (think): *Syra Quīntum mortuum esse putat.*
|
||
- **gaudēre** (rejoice): *Aemilia fīlium vīvere gaudet.*
|
||
- **necesse est**: *Puerum dormīre necesse est.*
|
||
|
||
4. ***posse*** — full present paradigm now:
|
||
- sg.: *possum, potes, potest*; pl.: *possumus, potestis, possunt*; inf. *posse*.
|
||
- Built on *pot-* + *esse* (with *t* → *s* before *s*: *pot-sum → possum*).
|
||
- *Aemilia putat medicum sānāre nōn posse.*
|
||
|
||
5. ***iubēre* + acc.+inf.** — orders are expressed indirectly: *Iūlius servum medicum arcessere iubet.* "Julius orders the slave to summon the doctor." Distinct from direct imperative (*Arcesse medicum!*).
|
||
|
||
6. **Predicate adjective in acc.+inf.**: when the inf. is *esse*, predicate noun/adj. agrees with acc. subject. *Syra Quīntum **mortuum** esse putat.* (m. acc. sg., agreeing with *Quīntum*.) *Medicus linguam **rubram** esse videt.* (f. acc. sg.)
|
||
|
||
7. ***manus, manūs*** — first **4th-declension** noun (briefly introduced):
|
||
- sg.: *manus, manum, manūs, manuī, manū*
|
||
- pl.: *manūs, manūs, manuum, manibus, manibus*
|
||
- Gender: feminine.
|
||
|
||
8. **Compounds with *ad-*, *re-*, *dē-***: *ad-esse → adesse* (be present); *re-venīre → revenīre* (come back); *dē* + abl. = "down from" (of motion: *dē arbore cadit*).
|
||
|
||
9. **Causal *quod*** (review): *Aemilia gaudet quod fīlius vīvit.*
|
||
|
||
10. **Adverbs *bene/male***: from *bonus/malus*. *bene videt, male audit.*
|
||
|
||
11. **Dative of reference with *dolēre***: *Pēs **mihi** dolet* ("the foot hurts to me" = "my foot hurts"). Idiomatic alternative to possessive *pēs meus dolet*. Same with *caput, venter*: *Caput Quīntō dolet.*
|
||
|
||
12. ***gaudēre* syntax** — accepts both:
|
||
- *quod* + clause: *Aemilia gaudet **quod** fīlius vīvit.*
|
||
- acc.+inf.: *Aemilia fīlium **vīvere** gaudet.*
|
||
Drill the contrast — same meaning, different construction.
|
||
|
||
## Common error patterns
|
||
|
||
- **3rd-decl. neuter wrong stem**: *corpus → genitive corpusis* — wrong; stem changes: *corporis*. Same *pectoris, ōris, crūris, capitis, cordis*. Always learn the gen. with the noun.
|
||
- **Forgetting neut. nom. = acc.**: *capita videt* — fine for "sees heads" (acc. pl.); *capitēs* — wrong, neuters never take -ēs.
|
||
- **i-stem neut. abl. sg. -e instead of -ī**: *in mare* — wrong; *in marī* (abl., for location). Likewise *in animālī*. (Compare m./f. i-stems *ovis, ove* with abl. -e.)
|
||
- **Acc.+inf. without acc.**: *Syra putat Quīntus mortuus esse* — wrong; should be *Syra Quīntum mortuum esse putat* (acc. subject + acc. predicate adj.).
|
||
- **Predicate not agreeing with acc.**: *Syra Quīntum mortuus esse putat* — wrong; *mortuum* (acc. m. sg., agreeing with *Quīntum*).
|
||
- ***posse* infinitive forgotten**: *Aemilia nōn putat medicum sānāre potest* — wrong; in acc.+inf. the verb must be infinitive: *...sānāre **posse***.
|
||
- ***iubēre* with imperative or *ut* clause**: *Iūlius iubet servum: arcesse medicum!* — wrong syntax; should be *Iūlius servum medicum arcessere iubet.*
|
||
- ***dīcere* without acc.+inf.**: *Quīntus dīcit "pēs dolet"* (direct quote — fine in dialogue) vs. *Quīntus dīcit pedem dolēre* (indirect — preferred in narrative).
|
||
- ***manus* declined as 2nd-decl.**: *manī* (gen.) — wrong; 4th-decl. gen. sg. is *manūs* (with macron). Don't confuse with nom. pl. *manūs* (also -ūs, distinguished by context).
|
||
- ***ōs* (mouth, n.) confused with *os* (bone, n.)**: same nominative spelling without macrons; gen. *ōris* (mouth) vs. *ossis* (bone).
|
||
- ***atque* / *nec***: *atque* = *et* (often before vowels); *nec* = *neque*. Don't translate as a different word.
|
||
- **Gender of *sanguis***: students assume neuter (inanimate substance) — wrong; *sanguis* is **masculine**: *sanguis ruber*, not *sanguis rubrum*.
|
||
- ***venter* (m. sg., belly) vs. *viscera* (n. pl., internal organs)**: confusing gender/number. *venter dolet* (m. sg.); *viscera dolent* (n. pl.).
|
||
|
||
## Exercise menu
|
||
|
||
1. **Decline a 3rd-decl. neuter**: "Decline *corpus* sg + pl." → *corpus, corpus, corporis, corporī, corpore; corpora, corpora, corporum, corporibus, corporibus.* Cycle through *flūmen, caput, pectus, cor.*
|
||
2. **i-stem neut. forms**: "Abl. sg. of *mare*?" → *marī.* "Gen. pl. of *animal*?" → *animālium.* "Nom./acc. pl. of *mare*?" → *maria.*
|
||
3. **Single-cell parsing**: "*capitis* — case?" → *gen. sg.* "*corpora* — cases?" → *nom. or acc. pl.* "*marī*?" → *abl. sg. (or dat. sg.).*
|
||
4. ***manus* drill**: "Decline *manus* sg + pl." → *manus, manum, manūs, manuī, manū; manūs, manūs, manuum, manibus, manibus.* Then: "How do you say 'with the hands'?" → *manibus* (abl., or *cum manibus*).
|
||
5. **Body-part vocab Q&A in Latin**: "Quid est super collum?" → *Caput est super collum.* "Quid est in pectore?" → *In pectore (sunt) cor et pulmōnēs.* "Quae sunt membra corporis hūmānī?" → *Membra sunt duo bracchia et duo crūra.*
|
||
6. **Acc.+inf. transformation** — start easy (verbs of perception, sg.): "Iūlia dormit." + "Syra videt." → *Syra Iūliam dormīre videt.* Then: "Quīntus spīrat." + "Medicus sentit." → *Medicus Quīntum spīrāre sentit.*
|
||
7. **Acc.+inf. with predicate adjective**: "Lingua rubra est." + "Medicus videt." → *Medicus linguam rubram esse videt.* "Quīntus mortuus est." + "Syra putat." → *Syra Quīntum mortuum esse putat.* Watch agreement.
|
||
8. ***iubēre* drill**: "Father orders the boy to open his eyes." → *Pater puerum oculōs aperīre iubet.* "Julius orders Syrus to summon the doctor." → *Iūlius Syrum medicum arcessere iubet.*
|
||
9. **PENSVM A fill**: "Membra corpor- hūmānī sunt duo bracchia et duo crūr-." → *corporis, crūra.* "In capit- sunt duae aur- et ūn- ōs." → *capite, aurēs, ūnum.*
|
||
10. **Spot the error**: "Syra putat Quīntus mortuus esse." → *Quīntum mortuum* (both acc.). "Aemilia nōn putat medicum sānāre potest." → *posse* (inf.). "In mare sunt multī piscēs." → *In marī.*
|
||
11. **PENSVM C Q&A**: "Cūr Syra Quīntum mortuum esse putat?" → *Quia Quīntum spīrāre nōn audit.* "Quid videt medicus in ōre Quīntī?" → *Dentem nigrum / aegrum (videt).* "Unde medicus arcessitur?" → *(Ex oppidō / ē) Tusculō (arcessitur).*
|
||
12. **Direct → indirect transformation**: convert quoted speech to acc.+inf. *Quīntus: "Pēs meus dolet!"* → *Quīntus dīcit pedem suum dolēre.* *Syra: "Quīntus mortuus est."* → *Syra Quīntum mortuum esse dīcit / putat.* *Aemilia: "Fīlius vīvit!"* → *Aemilia fīlium vīvere gaudet.*
|
||
13. **Adverb formation *bonus → bene*, *malus → male***: pair with verbs. "Quīntus ___ videt sed ___ audit." (good/poor) → *bene, male.* "Aemilia cantat ___." → *bene.* Then reverse: "Adv. of *malus*?" → *male.*
|
||
14. **Body-part touch/point drill** (TPR-style imperatives): *Tange genam tuam! Mōnstrā nāsum! Aperī ōs! Claude oculōs!* Student responds by miming + repeats. Then: "What did I say?" → translates back.

## Session start
|

Bare (`/llpsi-c11`): "Cap. XI — Corpus Humanum. Two main things: lots of **3rd-decl. neuters** (*corpus, caput, cor, pectus*, etc.) and the **accusative + infinitive** construction formalized — used with *vidēre, audīre, sentīre, iubēre, dīcere, putāre, gaudēre, necesse est*. Plus full *posse* and a peek at 4th-decl. *manus*. Where do you want to start — body vocab/3rd-decl., acc.+inf., or *posse*?"
