  • Latin Derivatives Dictionary
    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy. Basic sources: American College Dictionary (ACD) American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (ODEE) Oxford English Dictionary (OCD) Webster’s International Dictionary (eds. 2, 3) (W2, W3) Liddell and Scott (LS) Lewis and Short (LS) Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) Schaffer: Greek Derivative Dictionary, Latin Derivative Dictionary In addition many other sources were consulted; numerous etymology texts and readers were helpful. Zeno’s Word Frequency guide assisted in determining the relative importance of words. However, all judgments (and errors) are finally mine.

INTRODUCTION § i. The manuscripts. The text of Lebor Bretnach, the Irish version of the Historia Brittonum, often ascribed to Nennius, has come down to us in five MSS., containing six different texts ; in the Book of Lecan two recen­ sions of the Lebor Bretnach are found. Among the MS. texts three groups may be distinguished. The present edition is based on the complete material afforded by the MSS. For each section a MS. has been selected that is regarded as representative of the group or groups in. which the section occurs, while variants from all other MSS. are given in the notes. Thus the complete MS. tradition of Lebor Bretnach will be available in the present edition. We shall divide the complete Lebor Bretnach into twenty-two sections ; it must be borne in mind, however, that these are found combined in none of our MSS. : Section I Apologia (§ i). II Geographia (§§ 2-3). „ III Origin of the Picts, first version (§ 4).

  • 7Th Empire Fast Play Rules Version 10.Indd
    Page 1 Fast Play Rules Last Revised 9th December 2016 7th Empire is an Alternative History Roman Steam age Role Playing Game (RPG). As players, you pretend to be characters that are associated with Rome’s technological 42nd (XLII) legion. As a group, you go on various quests or missions at pivotal times in the Roman Empire. What if Steam technology came into widespread use in Roman times? How would that have altered the Roman Empire and what followed it? What if we could have avoided the Dark Ages? Perhaps we could now be using far more advanced technology, perhaps exploring other star systems and maybe time itself? Combat/Task Resolution Relative number of successes and failures on one or more six sided dice resolves tasks and combat. This is known as the Dice Pool (DP). Each dice can only be used once per round. The DP’s result is the number of successes minus the number of failures. Successes and Failures are determined from the table below:- Success / Failure Table Task Resolution Difficulty Table Abilities Dice Value Result Difficulty Level (DR) Number of Ability Abbreviation 6 3 Successes Successes required Strength (STR) 5 2 Successes Astonishing 15 + Nimbleness (NIM) 4 1 Success Formidable 12 Stamina (STA) 1 1 Failure Difficult 9 Acuity (ACU) 2, 3 Nothing Standard 6 Faith (FAI) Easy 3 Presence (PRE) Melee Combat Round Phase Description Initiative Each character rolls 2D6 + Initiative ((NIM) + (ACU)). If tied, roll 2D6 again. Action In Initiative order, each character can choose whether to act immediately, or delay until a later characters action or act at the end of the round (Inter- rupt).

  • The Latin Alphabet Page 1 of 58 the Latin Alphabet
    The Latin Alphabet Page 1 of 58 The Latin Alphabet The Latin alphabet of 23 letters was derived in the 600's BC from the Etruscan alphabet of 26 letters, which was in turn derived from the archaic Greek alphabet, which came from the Phoenician. The letters J, U, and W of the modern alphabet were added in medieval times, and did not appear in the classical alphabet, except that J and U could be alternative forms for I and V. A comparison of the Greek and Latin alphabets shows the close relation between the two. Green letters are those introduced later, after the alphabets had been adopted, and red letters are those that were eliminated from the archaic alphabet. The digamma, which represented a 'w' sound in Greek was adopted for the different Latin sound 'f' that did not occur in Greek. The gamma was written C in Etruscan, and represented both the hard 'g' and 'k' sounds in Latin, which was confusing. Latin also used the K for the 'k' sound at that time, but the C spelling became popular. Z was a sound not used in Latin, so it was thrown out of the alphabet and replaced by a modified C, a C with a tail, for the 'g' sound. Eventually, K became vestigial in Latin, used only for a few words like Kalendae and Kaeso (a name). Gaius was also spelled Caius, and its abbreviation was always C. Koppa became the model for Q, which in Latin was always used in the combination QV, pronounced 'kw,' a sound that does not occur in Greek.

It is with pleasure, therefore, that I am able to announce the fulfillment of these desires. The Breviary, translated by Father Aquinas Byrnes, O.P., is now in the process of publication at Rome, while the translation of the Dominican Martyrology has just completed. The Martyrology is one of the six official books of the Church's liturgy, its use in the choral recitation of the Divine Office is obligatory. Because of the salutary effects derived from the reading of this sacred volume, various Pontiffs have urged its use by those who recite the Office privately.

  • Choisis Toi Un Nom Romain
    R. Delord – Latin - Fiche civilisation : les Tria Nomina romains - I. Les tria nomina du citoyen romain - Un citoyen romain porte 3 « noms » : 1°- un PR É NOM (praenomen) - Il se place devant (prae-) le nom. Terminé en -us ou -ius, il est toujours écrit en abrégé lorsqu'il n'est pas seul. - On compte seulement 18 prénoms pour les garçons (les plus fréquents sont signalés par le signe +) : A. = Aulus D. = Decimus M’ = Manius Q. = Quintus (+) T. = Titus (+) Ap. = Appius K. = Kaeso Mam. = Mamercus S. = Servius (+) Ti. = Tiberius C. = Gaius (+) L. = Lucius (+) N. = Numerius Sex. = Sextus (+) Cn. = Cnaeus (+) M. = Marcus (+) P. = Publius (+) Sp. = Spurius - Les prénoms Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus (Q.), Sextus (Sex.), Septimus, Octavius et Decimus pouvaient indiquer l'ordre des naissances, car ils signifiaient : 2ème, 3ème, 4ème, 5ème, 6ème, 7ème, 8ème et 10ème. Nonus pour 9ème n'était pas employé, car le préfixe Non- avait une connotation négative. - Souvent, un fils porte le prénom de son père ou de son grand-père. Le prénom n'est utilisé que par les proches. 2°- un NOM ou gentilice (nomen, nominis, n. ou gentile nomen) - Il est porté par tous les membres d'une même gens (famille ou lignée). C'est l'équivalent de notre nom de famille. - On le forme sur le nom de l'ancêtre mythique de la famille en ajoutant un suffixe -ius, qui signifie « descendant de ». – ex. : C. Iulius Caesar : descendant de Iule (fils d'Énée et petit-fils de Vénus) - Le nomen est très souvent suivi de filius, « fils de » précédé du nom du père (au génitif), et parfois même de nepos, « petit-fils de », donné sous forme d'initiales : – ex.
