PREFACE 

The need of some explanation of the real difPerences in the 
use and meanings of words is found to be necessary from the very 
beginning of our course of study in a foreign language. Otherwise, 
the ordinary student of a foreign tongue will make as many blunders 
as the Frenchman who had concluded from a short stay in this 
country that living in America was very "costive," and that, if he 
could once get hold of all the ways in which "got" is used, he would 
know two-thirds of the English language. 

Students of Latin will sometimes try to translate an Eng. 
sentence by the first words they find* answering to the Eng. 
words. For example, the following sentence is given in English to 
be turned into Latin: — ^"The whole farm is covered with sheep and 
cattle and hogs and chickens." The student finds tego means **to 
cover'* and writes tegitub and then the sentence to a Roman would 
mean "the whole farm "is roofed in" with sheep and cattle and hogs 
and chickens," so that the rains cannot get to the land any more and 
the earth will keep dry. In other words, hogs and cattle and sheep 
and chickens are spread so thick over a raised platform that neither 
rain or sunshine can reach the ground underneath. Again, **the 
dialogue is made to rest on the authority of men of the olden times." 
Facebe means 'to make' and bequiescere means *to rest.' Then the 
student writes bequiescebe factus est, which to the Roman mind meant 
Hs m^ide to go to sleep,' 

Take the expression in Eng.. 'a good deal,' and dictate to a student 
"he had a good deal in his basket," pronouncing carelessly the word 
'deal,' as many do, making it 'eal. The student will soon speak out, — 
"teacher, I know all the words in that sentence perfectly well, except 
BEL. Will you please tell me what that is in Latin?" 

Take the expression "bellied sails'* or "fu'l sails;" you would not 
look for the vektbefacta vela or vela alveata or vela plena, but for 
VELA PASSA, 'spread sails*' 

Take such an expression as "full day"; you would not use pleitus 

nor ooMPLETus, but solious, integeb, or totus.

PREFACE. 



What the student wants is a clear conception of the true meaning 
of a word, and then he will be able to understand the writer or to 
express himself with exactness and force; but, if he does not know 
the difference in the use of synonynis, he will blunder in his thinking 
and also in his expression. 

Now, we may sometimes think that the student is the only one 
at fault in this matter. He has studied carelessly, has not been 
critical, etc.. etc. But the truth of the matter is the fact that ninet 
TENTHS of those who have siudied Latin or Greek for three or five 
years, and who know the grammatical relations of words well, do 
not know the differences of words, which, having the same meanings 
in the vocabularies, carry immense difiterences in their values. And 
now comes the astonishing feature in the case, viz., that fully one- 
half of the TEACHERS OF Latin do not know and therefore cannot 
explain these differences, and at least one-half of the other half 
will depend on vague and unsatisfactory definitions and have abso- 
lutely no principle of interpretation. Put up for examination the 
50,000 TEACHERS of Latin in the United States and let the examination 
be wholly on sjrnonyms. Three-fourths, or 37.500 will not g:ade 
50 out of 100, and 25,000 will not grade 25 out of 100, and 10.000 will 
not grade 10 out of 100, and yet, to get the true value of a trans- 
lation from Latin into English depends as much on the exact ren^ 
dering of a verb or a noun or an adjective or adverb or a preposition 
as it does on cases or modes and tenses. No rendering by simple 
mode and tense or case can ever satisfy a critical mind. The true 
meaning of the word must be known, and this cannot be known, 
unless the difference between any two words with similar meanings 
is clear,— clear by definitions, clear by some principle of interpretation, 
or clear by the historical and derivative connection of the word. 

We feel therefore that, next to Grammar, there must be a clearing 
up of the differences existing among synonymous words, and this 
constitutes our apology for making this book along lines already 
definitely drawn. 

And now a word to my fellow teachers as to the method to be 
pursued in the use of the book. 



PREFACE. 



(1) No student, much less teacher, would ever stultify himself 
by saying that there are not General and Specific terms employed by 
the Latin.; for, if we go no further, all Neuters are generic. When 
Caesar safd pugnandum est, he meant that everybody fought. We 
know also that Res is the most generic term among nouns, meaning 
anything visible or invi ible, anything that can be imagined or 
dreamed of as an object or subject.. Then for all actions, agebe is the 
most generic term among verbs, etc., etc. 

The difference between Genebics and Specifics should be pointed 
out frequently and made clear to the comprehension of every student, 
at least after he has had his first year in the study of the forms at 
Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, etc. 

(2) Pbimabt and Secondabt words should also have attention, 
but these might be left for the Third Year, as these require a higher 
degree of intelligence and wider range of thought than do the General 
and Special, and yet the Primary and Secondary are equally as import* 
ant as the Generic and Specific. As examples of the Primary and 
Secondary, most of the Prepositions are primary, but Ds is certainly 
secondary and 1001 things may be explained from its secondary mean- 
ing that could not be so well explained in any other way. 

(3) Dynamic and Static ideas require a still wider reach of 
thought and therefore should not have much attention before the 
fourth year of the course, but then they should be strongly impressed, 
for the differences are both great and important. We shall make 
much use of these ideas in discriminating between words in the body 
of our book. 

(4) Standards and Things to be Measubed should have special 
attention. The Author.

LATIN SYNONYMS 



The lines along whicli we shall work will take the lead of the 
four special directions indicated on the last page of our preface, 
namely: 

(1) The Generic and Specific. 

(2) The Primary and Secondary. 
(8) The Dynamic and Static. 

(4) Standards and Things to be Measured.

FIRST CHAPTER 



GENERIC AND SPEGIFIO IDEAS. 



Such as represent the general, common, and well-nigh uniyer- 
sal ideas of action or condition heing Generic; and those that repre- 
sent special, particular and individual ideas of action or condition 
and of objects or subjects required in analysis for distinction being 
Specific. For example, there are but four absolute' y generic idteaa 
in all the universe, but these may have sub-generics, and the sub- 
gener'cs may again be sub-divided; but Specifics will constitute in 
all languages the great bulk of all that words or symbols can repre- 
sent. Hence we may conclude, that, if we learn a few hundred 
snb-generics, we shall have little trouble with the specifics. This 

we think will be made perfectly clear in the study of verbs, of which 
we hai^e arranged many under snb-generics.

SECOND CHAPTER 



prumeaby and secondary ideas. 



Such as represent first thoughts on any subject, as One in 
counting, as I in pronouns, as of and up in Prepositions, as am and 
is in verbs, etc., etc. being Primary; and those that represent nec- 
essarily secondary thoughts, as Two in countipg, as Thou in pro- 
nouns, as Down and Through in prepositions, as See and Seek in 
yerbs, etc., etc., being Secondary, 

We have merely introduced the subject in a few pages, so as 
to open the way for further investigations, and will often refer 
to these pages in the body of the work, so that the student may 
become well grounded in the principles and may carry the analysis 
into other languages, if he so elects. 



(40) 



LATIN SYNONYMS. 41 



n. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY IDEAS. 

Agere, 'set in motion ' is primary as shown by i's definition, and 

represents the most general 
term for action of any kind. 

Deg^re, 'pass onward/ is secondary as shown by its definition and 

represents the specific action of 
passing over that part of a 
road yet untraveled. 

The following Prepositions exhibit very clearly the character- 
istics of primaries: 

Ad, *to,' with gerundives indicates the purpose of the undertaking 
and this in genera' :s extended into *to place' to be reached 
as a matter of anticipation or as a fact remembered The 
Ad idea 's always primary with reference to the De idea. 
Hence De is secondary. 

Ab, 'from/ as from border or boundary, and indicating the outcome 
of only part of any inner power or strength. For ex- 
ample, a sole means the heat and light coming little 
by little; a Caesare is the use of only part of Caesar's 
energy. 

Ante, 'before, primary and representing the position occupied or to 
be occupied before any other position that may be 
conceived. 

Adyersus, 'toward,' 'against,' as meeting any person or thing on 
our line of movement. Contra represents opposition in 
every direc ion, — a "broadside." 

Adversnm, 'toward,' 'aganst,' as the neuter form of adversus, rep- 
resents the general and not the specific opposition. 

Apud, 'at,' 'near,' indicates the fitness of the presence. The person 
who is apud me or apud populum is for the time being 
where he should be. He is a guest of honor and feels 
welcome. 



42 LATIN SYNONYMS. 



Ob, 'against, on account of/ indicajtes the fac'ng of an object which 
is near at hand. Used wilh general and not special 
objects, as for examples, ob rem, but not ob spem. We 
say propter spiem, and qnam ob rem, because ob, except 
sometimes in poetry, goes with general and not with 
specific ideas. Propter spem is 'on account of hope yet 
to be realized, while Ob goes back to an affair or cause 
already known and estimated. 

E or ex, 'from,' but 'out from within,* particularly as partaking 
largely of what is within, as exhibiting all the essential 
qua ities or characteristics of the w'thin. 

In, 'in, into,' always represents a posi:ion taken or to be taken 
as only part of the space referred to. In hoMs about 
the same relation to con that inter holds to dream. In 
and Con allow less space than inter and circom. 

Inter, 'between,' being a position as closely re'ated to the one object 
as to the other, and hence often expressing the fdea of 
reciprocity. Inter annos means during the years ,but 
in the sense of as much connected with one as with the 
other. Inter and circum allow large space. 

Erga, 'towards,' as in a first movement of one's feelings, good or 
bad, out toward a person or thing, generally used with 
reference to favorable outgoings, occasional y for feel- 
ings of hate; but as a general term, it is capable of use 
in either a good or bad sense. 

The following Prepositions exhibit just as clearly the charac- 
teristics of Secondaries: 

De, 'of, from,' but always after some position has been reached, 
and hence secondary showing usually a ehange of 
direction from the original l!ne. For example, water 
taken out from wi'h'n a reservoir is Ex from the reser- 
voir, while just flowing from the side of the reservoir 
it is Ab from the reservoir; but, after running some 
distance in the main pipe when it turn^ off In'o another 
pipe up or down, to right or left, it goes on by De. 



LATIN SYNONYMS. 43 



Secnndiiin, 'after/ as following, coming nex^, but behind. Derived 
from Sequens, and hence secondary and never pr.'mary. 
Its neuter form makes it generic and not specific. 

Smbter, 'under/ but not 'near' as would be represented by sub. Sub 
touches that which it is under, but sabter may be an 
inch or a mile be ow that which is mentioned. The 
-ter is a comparative termination and hence shows a 
greater distance below than is indicated by sub, the 
positive form Sub and then super, going upward; sub 
and then subter, going downward. 

Trans, 'over/ 'across, representing a secondary with reference to 
this side which is primary. The thought is that the 
thing or th€ person as a whole has changed peaces so 
that what was here is now there the thr of English 
being equal to trof the Latin and used as a secondary 
demonstrative element. Titms is always opposite to 
the posi ion yoa occupy, and so transvenire is an impos- 
sib e concept. See page 14. 

The following Conjunctions also show Primary ideas as differ- 
ing from Secondaries: 

Et, 'and,' a loose, slipshod connective, which can be used between 
any two objects, — between elephant and spade, be-> 
tween moun ain and buggy, because as a conjunction 
it gives only the thought of simple addition. The 
enclitics — que connects objects considered of the same 
value. Hence neither of the objects is secondary. 

Aut, 'or,' another loose connectfve which may be used between any 
two objects, and therefore a primary 'or.' 

At, 'but,' always primary and therefore bringing in a new thought 
or a new speaker. Sed is always secondary and there- 
fore is an addition to or extension of <the same peison'*; 
thought. 



44 LATIN SYNONYMS. 



Ita, *in this manner/ as a primary method and representing the 
first thought with reference to some action or condit'on 
which is extended into or up to what the grammars call 
'result' or 'purpose.' 

Ut, 'that/ is also primary and a modification of the form and use 
and purpose of Ad, — primary because the result was 
foreshadowed or foreseen in the ita, — primary because 
the purpose was formed before the action was un- 
dertaken. 

Sic, 'so/ is d'stinctly secondary, as is shown in 
examples representing a secondary thought compared 
with the primary introduced by Ut, 

The following Gonjnnctions exhibit just as clearly the charac- 
teristics of secondaries: 

Sive or Seu, 'or/ used to connect a primary and a secondary con- 
cept, the secondary of course following. 

Vel or Ve, 'or,' connect objects regarded as of the same value, and 
you can have your choice. Hence neither is secondary, 
unless you depend on the position of the words. 

Sed, 'but,* always secondary, as giving some addition to a thought 
already partly expressed, — never used to bring in an 
entire'y new thought. 

Neque or Nee, 'not,' like all negatives, is necessarily secondary, for 
a negative, no ma ter whether conjunction or adverb, 
is Impossible as an idea before there has been an 
affirmation. See **Pliilosophy of Expression.** 

We have not introduced the hundredth part of what could be 
brought under Primary and Secondary ideas, but enough we hope 
to start the student in his thinking on the differences that can be 
readily discovered between words that are necessarily primary and 
others just as necessarily secondary. We wU frequently mention 
the subject of this •section in he pages that follow, so that the 
thought we would impress may become perfectly clear to every 
student. 



THIRD CHAPTER 



DYNAMIC AND STATIC IDEAS. 



Those being dynamic wh'ch express thoughts of outcome, avail- 
ability, potency as resulting from organ'sm or combination giving 
the capacity for gathering and maintaining a static supply; and those 
being static, which, as having capacity from organism or combina- 
tion, possess the power latent, inclusive, and ready for use when 
some call is made. For examples, what we call strength is static 
and inherent, and may or may npt be used for purposes best for 
ourselves, and yet at least a part of the static strength will work 
out somewhere, somehow, even though by disease; while what we 
call force or power is dynamic and avaJliable, and so shoivs itself 
in work or speech or song or p. ay. 



• 4o> 



46 LATIN SYNONYMS. 



in. DYNAMIC AND STATIC IDEAS. 

ViH, 'force' is distinctly dynamic, for it always 

represents that which must phenome- 
nize or manifest itself in word or 
deed or product. 

(See also Vi-ta, vi-vo, so named 
from manlfesited power.) 

Robur, 'strength' is distinctly cMatic, for it always repre- 

sen s that which is latent and back 
of vis. 

Posse, 'able' dynamic, for such power must be 

I^Uere, 'able.' proven by some manifestation. 

This is the ability to do anything, and 
hence most generally carrying ,two 
ideas, (1) That of Posse; (2) That 
of yalere; and hence not on y mani- 
festing itself, but also accomplishing 
a purpose. It is pragmatic. 

Va*ere, 'able' dynamic, but generally used for ac- 
complishing some particular work. 

Qoire, 'able' Static, for such strength is the inner, 

the Eng. 'Can,* the conscious, but not necessarily 

the 6er., 'Konnen,* manifested in any word or deed or 

the A S., 'Cann,* product. It is latent and only known 

the Sansc, *Gna.* to the individual that possesses it 

the Greek, 'Gno.* When it is manifested, then it be- 

etc., etc., etc. comes known by the expression posse 

or pollere or valere. 

Posse and Valere and Pollere and V's are known and recog- 
nized by the Objective mind, while Robnr (Hrobur) and Qnire are 
known only by the Subjective mind. The Saxon mind was always 
more subjective than ithat of the Roman. The Roman, living in a 
land where the summers were long andvegetation and outdoor life 



LATIN SYNONYMS. 47 



were always claiming his attention, became more and more given 
up to the outer world of nature and to the social and 
artistic sides of existence, and hence, like the Greek, 
if he had gods, they too must come before his objective 
mind in numerous images. He mus^ have something to see or he 
cou d not worship, and today images and pictures adorn the Cathed- 
ral walls everywhere in Italy. But the Saxon, shut in by fog and 
rain and snow, became more subjective in h's thinking and hence 
ab'e to conceive of God and Good as absolute entitles, whether he 
could see either or not. 

We have simply introduced here the subject of Dynamic and 
Static ideas, but in the pages that follow we will often refer to 
this section, so that the student will get a clear insight to the 
difference that exists between these important classifications of 
thought and speech.

All these words fall under Primary and Secondary Ideas; but 
as they seem to require a little special notice, they are placed here 
by themselves, in order to attract the student's attention to their 
importance. 

The words above listed follow the old rule of pedagogy, "that 
the unknown must become known through the known which bears 
some relation to the unknown." 

This subject is of so much importance that we have treated it 
in a work to itself under the title, "STANDARDS.** 

We will, however, here quote four pages from our book on 
'^Standards/' in order to illustrate the thoughts so briefly treated 
in this book: 

The one peculiarity that must not be overlooked is the fact 
that the part of the statement beginning with the guttural is the 
one that is known or assumed to be known, — is the basis of meas- 
urement, and the one beginning with the dental is the one brought 
up to be tested by the known or to be compared with it. Take for 
example the following: 

1. Tam sum misericors, 

Quam vos; tam mitis qaam qui lenissimus, — ^Sull. 87. 

You are speaking to some person or persons supposed to know 
how merciful they are; and hence you say, "I am as merciful as 
you"; and more, "I am as mild as any one of the mildest." He says* 
"Now, you know the person or some person who is 'very mild,' 'ex- 
tremely mild/ Name that person, and I am 'equally mild.' " 



LATIN SYNONYMS. 131 



2. Quanto diutius considero, 

Tanto mihi res yidetur obscurior, — ^DN. 1, 60. 

'By as much the longer as I consider the matter, 

'By so much the thing seems the more obscure to me. 

Here my consideration is the thing known as to quantity and 
with my consideration already assumed I compare the obscurity, 
and the latter seems to measure up in quantity as a full parallel to 
my consideration. 

3. Quails suayitas sermonum atque morum, 
Talis condimentum amicitiae. — Cic. de Am. 

'As is the sweetness of conversation and character. 
Such is the relish of friendship.' 

Both parties are supposed to know 'the quality of sweetness in 
conversation and character/' and so one who knows both the first 
and the last, says, "the relish of friendship is equal in quality to 
the first." 

4. Quot talenta habeam, 'As many talents as I have. 
Tot talenta dabo, — So many will I give.' 

I will first ascertain "how many talents I have," then "so many 
talents will I give;" the one number shall equal the other. 

5. Cum dolore conficior, 

Tum etiam pudore. — Cic. Bpis. 

a. 'I am overcome both by grief and by shame.' 

b. 'I am overcome not only by grief, but also by shame.' 

c. ^When I am overcome (so much) by shame, then also I am 

overcome (as much) (even as) by grief 



182 LATIN STN0NTM8. 



• 



Tou know how much I am overoome by grief: well, then, 'I 
am equally oyercome by shame too, and you can measure my shame 
by the grief you know I feel." 



6. Qnam pirum volpes comest, 

Tam facile vinces, — PI. Most. 559. 

"As the fox eats the pear. 
So easily shall you conquer." 

Now you know "how easily a fox eats a pear," then you can 
decide "how easily you shall conquer," for one is just as easy as 
the other: they are exactly parallel in the facility with which they 
can be done. Here we have the manner of the action. 

7. Quotiens dicimus, 

Totiens de nobis judicatur, — Do. 1, 125. 



'As oftlen as we speak. 

Just so often is the judgment of us.' 



We know "how often we speak," and so by comparison we learn 
"how often people judge us;" Judgment and speech run an equal 
race." 



8. Quorum quamd'n mansit imitatio, 
Tamdin genus illud dicendi yixit. 

"The imitation of these persons remained as long, 
As that kind of speaking lived " 

1. Eum qui electus (designatns) est 
Oportet sedem in senatu habere, 

'He who has been ejected 

Ought to haye a seat in the Senate.' 



LATIN SYNONYMS. 18 S 



Now, it is not "behooving" thiat just anybody should "have a 
seat in the senate/' but the right to a seat depends on the fact of 
election: that is the one condition on which we say, eum oportet 
sedem in senatu habere. 

2. Homo qui banc epistolam scrlpsit est stnltns, 
'The man ^liio iviM>te this letter is a fool." 

How do you know? On what do you base your judgment, — 
Well, I know the man **who wrote this letter** and so do you, and 
nobody but a fool could write such a letter. The letter establishes 
the folly. 

3. Nemo qui honester vivlt potest vivere sine culpa. 
No one who lives honorably can live without blame." 

What you have called your ''Restrictive RelatiYe Clause** is 

the basis, on which the other part of the sentence rests. In these 
degenerate days the man "who lives honorably** is marked by the 
mean and vile as one who should be cast down from his high estate, 
and hence the envious will seek to criminate, if by no other method 
than by falsehood. 

4. Cicero qui orationes ornatissimas facit 
Est non solum orator, sed etiam scriptor, 

"The Cicero who makes most beautiful orations 
Is not only an orator, but also a litterateur." 

4. Cicero qui orationes ornatissimas facit, 
Com orator, turn scriptor cognitus est, 

"The Cicero who makes most beautiful speeches, 
Is recognized as equally a litterateur, — 
As much a litterateur as (the known) an orator — 



184 LATIN SYNONYMS. 



'When he is recognised as orator. 
Then he is recognized as litterateur.' 

Note the difference between these two statements In the first 
case he is both orator and litterateur, but his orations may surpass 
his other writings; whereas in the second case his other writings are 
recognized as equally good with his orations; but in both cases the 
estimate is based <m the weU-known orations. 

5. Qui Dominum amat, — "He who loves his Master 
El serviet, — ^will serve him." 

Our Savior said, "If you love me, keep my commandments." 
Now, if we are satisfied that our professions of love are sincere, 
then we know there will be no trouble about the service. The 
outside world, however, judges by our service whether we love our 
Master or not; but to ourselves the measure of love is the measure 
of cheerful service, and no one but ourselves can know whether 
we love the Master or not. 

6. Cum ea ita sint, 

Tamen si obsides ab iis siU dentur, sese cum lis paoem 
esse facturum, 'although,' etc. — Caes. Bel. Gal., Sec. 14. 

Indirect narrative will always have the subjunctive, because 
that represents one person as speaking for another; and although 
the writer may know, still as not speaking for himself he must ap- 
pear as assuming that some one else does know« that of which he 
speaks or writes.
