? PLURAL INCREMENT OF NOUNS. 33
INCREMENTS OF THE PLURAL.

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.

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.
RULE XXIII.
Of the Increments of Verbs in A.
A crescens produc -- Do incremento excipe primo.
In the increments of verbs of every conjugation, the
vowel a is long ; as, amdbam, stares, proper amus, audie-
bdmini, &c.
Excep. The first increment (only) of the verb do is
short ; as, damns, ddbam, dare : hence also the short
increment in the compounds circumdamus, circumdabant,
venumddbis, venumddre, &c.
* Without the words " in its termination, 1 ' the expression would not be either
sufficiently limited or perspicuous ; because the student might otherwise be
induced to rank reduplicating verbs among these increments, which would be
erroneous ; whereas the increment in reduplicating verbs takes place at the
beginning, by a prefix or argument ; as, cucurri, letendi. Tnomordi, &c.
t The second person singular indicative active is the rule or measure, by which
the increment is regulated.
CtC? " For deponent verbs, we may either suppose an active voice whence to
procure a standard or regulator to determine the increments: or they can be
regulated by other verbs of the same conjugation having an active voice. Thus
for the deponent verb gradior, we may either suppose a fictitious active gradio,
gradis, or be guided by rapior, which has a real active.

terminates in reris or rere, the e is long ; as, diripereris,
loquereris, prosequerere, &c.
Obser. 2. Velim, velis, velit, &c, have the e short.

fecerimus, feceritis, &c.
Obser. 3. The foregoing exception however does not
apply to those syncopated tenses which have lost the
syllable ve ; as, jleram, flerim, flero ; because in these
contracted forms, the e retains the quantity of the origi-
nal form : viz. -- Jle(ve)ram, fle(ve)rim, &c.
