INCREMENTS OF THE PLURAL.
When the genitive or dative case plural contains a
syllable more than the nominative plural, the penultima
of such genitive or dative, is called the plural increment ;
as, sa in musarum, bo in amborum and ambobus, bi in
nubium and nubibus, quo in quorum, qui in quibus, re in
rerum and rebus, &c.
RULE XXII.

Atque o ; corripies i, u ; verum excipe bubus.
The plural increments in a, e, and o, are long ; as,

a syllable more in its termination? than the second per-
son singular of the present tense indicative active. ! This
additional syllable is the first increment -- the penultima :
the final syllable being never called the increment.
When the increasing part has another syllable added to
it in the course of formation, the part so formed is the
second increment, and so of the rest. Thus from amas --
the standard or regulator -- comes fl-ma-n, with one incre-
ment ; from amavi comes a-ma-ve-ra? ? z, with two incre-
ments ; from amaveram, comes a-ma-ve-ra-w^s, with
three ; and in like manner a^-di-e-ba-mi-TM from its
regular formation with four increments. Any verb not
exhibiting in any of its tenses or persons, a greater
number of syllables than the regulator, is said to have no
increment ; thus, amat, amant, ama, amem, having no
more syllables than amas, have no increment.
