CHAPTER III. --Consonants.
A final syllable ending in b is short5 as ab.
The rules for the quantity of vowels are never superseded by
this, or any other of the following rules, for the quantity of
final syllables ending with a consonant. Hence, although b final
is naturally short, yet if there should be a diphthong in the same
syllable, or if the next word should begin with a consonant, the
final b or any other short consonant would immediately lose its
natural quantity, and the syllable become long.
C final is long; as Illuc.
The monosyllable Nec, the imperative Fac, and the adverb Do-
nec, are short.
The pronoun Hie, and its neuter hoc in the nominative and
accusative cases, though they are generally made long, may be
considered common. It is asserted by the ancient grammarians
that both these words are naturally short, and that when we find
them lengthened before a vowel, it is in consequence of the sylla-
ble ce, originally added to them, being cut off. Agreeably to this
opinion Hie and hoc, when made long, must be considered as
Hicc' and hocc', abbreviations of Hicce and hocce. The ablative
H6c is always long.
D final is short; as Illud.
L final is short; as Vigil.
The monosyllables Sol, sal, and nil, a contraction of Nihil, are
long.
N final is long; as Splen.
Nouns in en, which make the genitive in inis with the penulti-
mate short, always shorten their last syllable; as NomSn, nomi-
nis. N final is short also in An, forsan, forsitan, in, tamen, vi-
den', satin'. .
E final is short; as Puer.
Cur, far, fur, lar, nar, par, aer, aether, and nouns in r, which make
tris in the genitive with the penultimate lengthened, have r final
long; as Ver, veris.

native singular, when its genitive ends in entis, inis, or itisf with
the penultimate long, as Lis, litis ; and also in the substantives
Glis and vis, and in the adverbs Forts and gratis. The second
person singular of verbs has is final long in every tense, in which
the second person plural makes itis with the penultimate length-
ened; as Sis, veils, noils, audls.
In the second person singular of the future tense, potential
mood, or, as it is sometimes called, the future perfect, indicative
mood, the termination w is common; as Rexeris or Rexeris.

CHAPTER IV.
COMPOUND, DERIVATIVE, AND CONTRACTED WORDS-
All words generally retain the same quantity when com-
pounded, that they have when out of composition; as
IXefero, a compound of de and fero.
If a vowel of the simple word is changed in composition into
another vowel, it still generally preserves its original quantity;
as Concido from cado, Concldo from credo, Perh'ibeo from
habeo.
The quantity of a syllable is often changed in composition
by its situation before a vowel or a consonant; thus, in the com-
-pound word Deambulo, the preposition De is naturally long,
but standing before another vowel, it is necessarily made short;
thus also the preposition In, although it is naturally short, be-

? 18 EXERCISES IN
comes long by position in the compound verbs Invado and insto.
Sometimes, however, the preposition, instead of becoming long
by position, loses its final consonant, and thus retains its original
quantity; as omitto, a compound of 5b and mitto.
The following compound words shorten a vowel that is long in
their primitives, and are consequently exceptions to the general
rule; Causidicus,fatidicus,maledicus,veririicus,from dico; Nihilum
from hilum; Dejero, pejfiro, from juro; Agnitum, cognitum, from
no turn; Innuba, proniiba, subniiba, from nubo; Semisopitus from
sdpio; procella, profanus, profari, profectb, profestus, prdficiscor,
prfifiteor, pr6fugio, profugus, profundus, pronepos, proneptis, pr6-
pero, prdtervus, compounds of the preposition pro; and Dirimo
and disertus, compounds of de.
Imbecillis from bacillus has the second syllable long. Amlii-
tum, the supine, and Ambitus, the participle, from Hum, length-
en the middle syllable; but the substantives Ambitus and ambi-
tio, from the same word, have the i short, agreeably to the gene-
ral rule.
Connubiiim from nubo has the second syllable common.
The preposition Pro is common in Procurro, profundo, propago,
propello, propino, propulso.
The adverbs Ubique and ibidem, from ubi and ibi, generally
lengthen the middle syllable; but the final syllable of Uti is short
in its compounds Utinam and utique. In Quandoque from quando
the o is long; but it is short in Quandoquidem, a compound of the
same word.
Derivative words generally retain the quantity of their
primitives, or the words from which they are derived; as
animosus from animus.
The following derivatives, with a few others, deviate from the
quantity of their primitive words, some on account of crasis or
contraction, and others from following the quantity of primi-
tives now obsolete; arena, arista, from Sreo; aruspex from ara;
Deni from decern; Dicax from Dico; disertus from dissero; Di-
tio from dis, ditis; Dux, ducis, from duco; Fides from lido; Fo-

Sopor from sopio; Stipula, stlpulor, from sllpes; Tegula from

vomo; Vox, vocis, from viico. Verbs in urio, sometimes called
desiderative, have the u short, though derived from the participle
in urus; as Scriptiirio from scripturus.
Preterperfects of two syllables have the former syllable
long; as Novi. ;
Bibi, dedi, fidi from findo, scidi from scindo, steti, stiti, aod
tuli, are exceptions to this rule, and make the first syllable short.
Preterites, in which the first syllable is repeated, have
the two first syllables short; as Peperi.
The latter syllable in these preterperfects is sometimes made
long by position; as Ciicurri. The second syllable of Cecidi from
wedo, is lengthened, to distinguish it from Cecidi, the preterperfcct
of cado. Pepedi also lengthens its middle vowel.
Supines of two syllables, and participles formed from
them, have the former syllable long; as Visum, visu,
vlsus.
The first syllable is short in Datum, ratum, satum, itum, litum,
quitum, situm, rutum, citum from cieo, futurus from futum; the
supine of the obsolete verb fuo. Statum has its first syllable
common. To account for the irregularities of the verb Sto, it has
been supposed that it belonged originally to the third, as well as to
the first conjugation, but that in process of time the increments
in the different conjugations were confounded, and some of them
ceased to be used.

Supines in itum, of more than two syllables, have the
penultimate long when the preterperfect ends in fat, but
when the preterite has any other termination, the i in the
supine is short; as Quaesitum, monitum.
In all the compounds of Eo, except ambio, the penultimate of
the supine is short; as Circumitum.
