  • Non-Standard Plural Forms (.PDF)
    Foreign and Irregular Plurals in CSW by David Sutton **** Now amended for CSW19 **** This document attempts to list all singular nouns in CSW (the official Scrabble word list) that have nine letters or fewer and that have irregular plurals; those plurals are shown together with a brief definition. Ten-letter singular nouns are included where they yield a nine-letter plural. By 'irregular plural' is meant a plural that is not formed according to the usual rules of English orthography, i.e. in one of the following ways: · by the addition of –S, as in CATS · by the addition of –ES, where the word ends in s, x, z, ch or sh, as in PRINCESSES, BOXES, QUARTZES, BEECHES, SASHES. Note that in the case of ch this applies only where ch has the soft sound, not the hard sound as in EPOCH or LOCH, where a simple S is added · by the addition of –ES plus change of a terminal –Y to I, as in LAUNDRIES For completeness I have also included the following categories of word: · words that do not change at all in the plural; these are denoted by a dash in the second column. Note that I have excluded 'collective' nouns that are normally used in the singular but which do have an –S form e.g. one would normally speak of a herd of twenty BISON, but BISONS does exist and might be used when speaking of different individuals. This is unlike MOOSE, where there is no MOOSES* · words ending in –O that take a plural in –OES rather than, or in addition to, –OS · words ending in –I that take a plural in –IES rather than, or in addition to, –IS · words ending in –S or -Z that double the S or Z It should be noted that a great many of these nouns with irregular plurals also have regular plurals.

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: Martial and the Greek Epigrammatic Tradition
    University of Pennsylvania ScholarlyCommons Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations 2015 Hidden in Plain Sight: Martial and the Greek Epigrammatic Tradition Joseph M. Lucci University of Pennsylvania, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations Part of the Classical Literature and Philology Commons Recommended Citation Lucci, Joseph M., "Hidden in Plain Sight: Martial and the Greek Epigrammatic Tradition" (2015). Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 1864. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/1864 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/1864 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Hidden in Plain Sight: Martial and the Greek Epigrammatic Tradition Abstract Martial, perhaps the best-known author of Latin epigram, has enjoyed a resurgence of scholarly attention over the past two decades, and much has been made of his self-professed debt to earlier Latin epigrammatists, especially Catullus. Less prevalent, however, has been discussion of how he relates to authors of Greek epigram, which may not be surprising given that Martial passes over the Greek epigrammatic tradition in nearly total silence. This dissertation seeks to explain the silence. Through close readings of specific poems yb Martial, both in themselves and alongside epigrams by his Greek predecessors, I argue that he has fashioned an intentionally ambivalent attitude toward the Greek tradition. Martial contends with a fundamentally Roman literary condundrum – he must negotiate the inevitable and irreconcilable tension between acknowledging the importance of his Greek predecessors and asserting his own claim to superiority over them. But Martial, I suggest, relishes such tensions, depicting Greece and Greek epigram as inconsistent and even bipolar entities which he can then exploit as sources of humor or self-aggrandizement.

  • (NRCE) Study Guide – Advanced Level
    National Roman Civilization Exam (NRCE) Study Guide – Advanced Level By Connor Harrison and José Molina This study guide is meant to be good approximation of the material needed to know for the NRCE exam. It is not meant to be fully comprehensive, but should cover most things that could be asked on the exam for Roman History and Roman Life. This guide is adapted from Connor Harrison’s Roman History Notes and José Molina’s Roman Life Notes. Please note that Ancient Geography, although asked on the NRCE, is not yet included in this version of the study guide. Ancient Geography includes, but is not limited to, directions to and from ancient locations, modern names of ancient cities (and vice versa), and names and destinations of ancient Roman roads. 1 Roman History By Connor Harrison MONARCHY (753-510 B.C.) 7 KINGS - Romulus o Lineage . Mother was Rhea Silvia, father was Mars (the God) Rhea Silvia was the daughter of Numitor, whose brother Amulius had stolen the throne of Alba Longa Romulus and his brother Remus were thrown into the Tiber River, recovered by a she-wolf, and raised by the shepard Faustulus The wife of Faustulus was Acca Larentia o Romulus and Remus . Romulus had a brother, Remus . There was a dispute over where the city would be settled, so Romulus settled the Palatine hill, Remus settled the Aventine hill . According to one account, Romulus is said to have seen 12 vultures while Remus was said to have seen 6, meaning Romulus had superior augury and had say over where the city should be .
