Examples of Various Things

Here's a page to collect sentences that provide example of various syntactic and semantic and whatever-ic constructions in Latin.

 

The reason for it is that I'm always looking for more authentic examples of things to show students (like, say, ablative absolutes) and it's a pain to have to go hunt them down.

 

I'll keep them all in a database off-site (some day :-) so that they can be more easily called up. Please add examples and new categories too.

 

Some Guidelines

• Watch out for duplicate entries.
• Keep entries alphabetized.
• Use unicode, if you can, to include macrons.
• Include citations where known.
• If you want to have English translations, please put them in italics.

 

Bored?
