Addenda and corrigenda to fourth assignment
I've had a few questions about the assignment and I should share the answers with everyone.
1. I'm serious about acuties in line 4: look at A&G 241, where you will find words such as pauperies (from pauper and segnities (from segnis). So what will acuties be? Learning to deduce words from their constituent parts and cognates is an important skill in learning any language (add a particularly pompous tone when you read that).
2. arestarunt in line 5 should have a note saying that it is also spelled arrestarunt, which of course comes from a verb arresto, and you should deduce its meaning from that.
3. saggite consumpte in line 11 doesn't have a note: it's another common ML spelling variation (which you have often seen).
