It is difficult to differ from the commentator, but it seems that genitives in the verse as are used for datives, in which case the meaning would be that they who give unto such persons shall also sink into hell. The Burdwan translator gives a ridiculous version of verse 22. The Bengal reading Brahmacharyya is better than the Bombay reading of that word in the accusative.

Poopendyke fidgeted a good deal with the scanty results of my literary labours, rattling the typed pages in a most insinuating way. He oiled his machine with accusative frequency, but I failed to respond. I was in no mood for writing. He said to me one day: "I don't see why you keep a secretary, Mr. Smart. I don't begin to earn my salt." "Salt, Mr.

But it took all the muscle of which the robber was master to open the ponderous door; and when it did move out, snowing the dark cavity through the yawning mouth, it gave no squeak; for the operator had deftly placed a few drops of oil within the hinges. 'Fortuna favet trepidis, he said, never having heard of an accusative case.

He several times takes the two words 'O Tite' to designate the whole treatise; cf. Att. 16, 11, 3 'O Tite' tibi prodesse laetor. QUID: accusative of respect or extent; so nihil in 30, aliquid in 82. A. 240, a; G. 331, 3; H. 378, 2. A. 128, a; G. 151, 1; H. 235. LEVASSO: a form of levavero, which was originally levaveso.

He took for him the sceptre and he took the cup for fair-cheeked Themis instead of "from him" and "from Themis," he is employing a Dorian usage. But an artificially wrought style cultivates variation from the customary, by which it becomes clever, more dignified, and altogether more attractive.

"To slash is, speaking grammatically, to employ the accusative, or accusing case; you must cut up your book right and left, top and bottom, root and branch. To plaster a book is to employ the dative, or giving case; and you must bestow on the work all the superlatives in the language, you must lay on your praise thick and thin, and not leave a crevice untrowelled.

"If the Boston friends were unwilling to take the trouble and responsibility," were the petulant, accusative words put by Quincy into his chief's mouth on the occasion, "then there was nothing more to be said; we must try to get along as well as we could in the old way."

The case system is practically intact but it is evidently moving towards further disintegration.

The phonetic form of the case syllables became still further reduced and the distinction between the accusative and the dative finally disappeared.

"You do not know of your own knowledge who committed this murder?" The Scandinavian gazed at her with a bovine expression on his leaden features, as though waiting for her question to percolate to his understanding. "You did not see who did it?" she asked again. "Aw, yes. That feller there," accusative finger to the fore. "She say he did." There was a general smile at this.

But should a wise man be subject to grief, he may likewise be subject to anger; for as he is free from anger, he must likewise be free from grief.
