"Quite a remarkable thing, that, to remember so far back," I smiled, whereupon she made a little grimace. "How do you mean by the days?" "I was taught a tomorrow, not alone because I could recognize today but because I remembered yesterday, and was shown how these were the past, present, and future tenses of our lives; that the present participle is Living, and the infinitive is " "To love?"
On points of technique he criticises her frequent use of the perfect participle with accented final syllable 'kissed, 'bowed, and the like and her fondness for the adverb 'very; both of which mannerisms he charges to the example of Tennyson.
"Professor," he said, with a rueful attempt at a smile, "what's the past participle, passive, plural, of the Latin verb, 'to sting'?" "Morrison has jammed the Personal Liberty bill through," said Waldemar, scrawling a head on his completed editorial, with one eye on the clock, which pointed to midnight. "That was to be expected, wasn't it?" asked Average Jones.
Read consecutively, with a participle termination struck out to convey his meaning, they formed the pathetically ungrammatical line: 'Hear: none: but: accused: false. Treble dots were under the word 'to-morrow. He had scored the margin of the sentences containing his dotted words, as if in admiration of their peculiar wisdom.
The employment of the participle for the definite tenses of the verb is much more common in Phoenician than in Hebrew, and the Hebrew prefix m is wanting. The ordinary termination of feminine singular nouns is -th, not -h.
I seldom hear this participle now-a-days without remembering an observation made to me in France by a lady who had seen much of English manners: "Ah, that dreadful word staying! I think we are so happy in France not to be able to translate it not to have any word that answers to it."
Strictly speaking minutus ought to be used of things which are fragments of larger things, minutus being really the participle passive of minuo. Cf. 46 pocula minuta; also below, 85 minuti philosophi. MALLEOLI: vine-cuttings; so called because a portion of the parent stem was cut away with the new shoot, leaving the cutting in the shape of a mallet.
The word implies cultivation as well as mere knowledge; 'a learned man', merely as such, is 'homo litteratus'; cf. n. on 54. CUIUS ... FECI: 'the aforesaid' is in good Latin always expressed by a parenthesis like this and not by a participle in agreement with the noun. The phrases 'ante dictus', 'supra dictus', belong to silver Latin, where they are common. Cf. 23 quos ante dixi.
The whole of his reasoning turns upon shewing that the Conjunction That is the pronoun That, which is itself the participle of a verb, and in like manner that all the other mystical and hitherto unintelligible parts of speech are derived from the only two intelligible ones, the Verb and Noun. "I affirm that gold is yellow," that is, "I affirm that fact, or that proposition, viz. gold is yellow."
The king of the verbs summons the adverbs to his help, the king of the nouns the pronouns. The camps are pitched, the forces marshalled. The neutral power, participle, is invoked by both parties, but declines to send open assistance to either, hoping that in this contest between noun and verb the third party will acquire the rule over the whole territory of language.
