It begins to seem to me that I have got to try to get along with the Accusative alone & leave the rest of this grammar to be tackled in the future life. With our kindest remembrances to you & yours Yrs sincerely, S. L. Clemens Hotel de l'Ecu de Geneve Sept. 8/78 My dear Mr. Taylor: I have learned the German language & forgotten it again; so I resume English once more.
The root-word, without inflexion, alone is used where the name is employed in no connection with a verb, where in every terrestrial language the nominative would be employed. Singular. Plural. Nominative ambâs ambaus Accusative ambâl ambaul Dative, to or in ambân ambaun Ablative, by or from ambâm ambaum
In the interest of science, I will cipher it out on the hypothesis that it is masculine. However, this rain is not resting, but is doing something ACTIVELY, it is falling to interfere with the bird, likely and this indicates MOVEMENT, which has the effect of sliding it into the Accusative case and changing DEM Regen into DEN Regen."
In its origin it is probably Cushite: but it was adopted by the Assyrians, who inflected the word which was indeclinable in the Chaldaean tongue, making the nominative Anu, the genitive Ani, and the accusative Ana. Ana is the head of the first Triad, which follows immediately after the obscure god Ra.
"Silence, then; I will answer!" cried Dolores, quivering with suppressed rage. She spoke again to Milo, then turned to face the mob, her head erect, her eyes ablaze. She flashed a keen glance toward Pearse, who had sidled over to the band led by Stumpy, who seemed less accusative than the others; she nodded faintly, approvingly, and sought the others.
"Jacobinism and iniquity," he wrote in his twentieth year, "are so allied in signification, that the latter always follows the former, just as in grammar 'the accusative case follows the transitive verb." He speaks of a young friend as "too honest for a Democrat."
Horace had said si vis me flere, dolendum est Primum ipsi tibi; Persius distorts this into plorabit qui me volet incurvasse querela. Other expressions more remotely modelled on him are iratum Eupoliden praegrandi cum sene palles, and perhaps the very harsh use of the accusative, linguae quantum sitiat canis, "as long a tongue as a thirsty dog hangs out."
A neuter pronoun in the singular sometimes, as here, accompanies the passive, and may be regarded as an adverbial accusative of respect or extent, or as a nominative qualifying the impersonal subject. The former is probably the real construction. Cf. Roby, 1423, and Madvig, 229, b, Obs. 1. SAMNITIBUS: then in alliance with Pyrrhus.
For mood see A 312, G 604, H 513, II. QUAM ... INGREDIUNDUM SIT: this construction, the neuter of the gerundive with est followed by an accusative case, is exceedingly rare excepting in two writers, Lucretius and Varro. See the full list of examples given by Roby, Gram., Pref. to vol. 2, p. LXXII. A 294, c, H 371, I. 2, 2, n.
After a while I saw her figure through the ground-glass panel approach the door, but before she opened it, she turned out the light in the passage. "Marcus!" she cried, rather excitedly; and in the dimness of the threshold her eyes looked strangely accusative of tears. "You have come back!" "Yes," said I, "for my umbrella."
