[Footnote 15: See _Sanskrit Grammar_, § 497. I doubt whether in
Greek ἀγγελλω is a denominative verb and stands for ἀγγελ(ο)ϳω
(Curtius, _Chronologie_, p. 58). I should prefer to explain it as
ἀνα-γαρ-ίω, to proclaim, as a verb of the fourth class.]
[Footnote 16: Lex Repetund. “ceivis romanus ex hac lege fiet,
nepotesque -- ceiveis romanei justei sunto.” Cf. Egger, _Lat,
Serm. Vetust. Reliq._, p. 245. Meunier, in _Mémoires de la Societé
de Linguistique de Paris_, vol. i. p. 34.]
[Footnote 17: Still used as long by Plautus; of. Neue,
_Formenlehre_, ii. p. 340.]
[Footnote 18: In old Latin the termination of the first person
singular was _em_. Thus Quintilian, i. 7, 23, says: “Quid? non
Cato Censorius _dicam_ et _faciam_, _dicem_ et _faciem_ scripsit,
eundemque in ceteris, quæ similiter cadunt, modum tenuit? quod et
ex veteribus ejus libris manifestum est, et a Messala in libro de
s. littera positum.” Neue, _Formenlehre_, ii. p. 348. The
introduction of _feram_, originally a subjunctive, to express the
future in the first person, reminds us of the distinction in
English between _I shall_ and _thou wilt_, though the analogy
fails in the first person plural. In Homer the use of the
subjunctive for the future is well known. See Curtius,
_Chronologie_, p. 50.]
[Footnote 19: Historically the _i_ in _tuleritis_ should be long
in the subjunctive of the perfect, short in the future.]
[Footnote 20: Bleek, _On the Concord_, p. lxvi.]
[Footnote 21: In δώ-σω, for δωσίω, the _i_ or _y_ is lost in Greek
as usual. In other verbs _s_ and _y_ are both lost. Hence τενεσίω
becomes τενέσω, and τενῶ the so-called Attic future. Bopp,
_Vergleich-Grammatik_, first ed., p. 903. In Latin we have traces
of a similar future in forms like _fac-so_, _cap-so_, etc. See
Neue, _Formenlehre_, ii. p. 421. The Epic dialect sometimes
doubles the σ when the vowel is short, αἰδέσσομαι. But this can
hardly be considered a relic of the original σι, because the same
reduplication takes places sometimes in the Aorist, ἐγέλασσα.]
[Footnote 22: See Bopp, _Vergleichende Grammatik_, §§ 897, 898.
These verbal adjectives should be carefully distinguished from
nominal adjectives, such as Sanskrit +div-yá-s+, divinus,
originally +div-i-a-s+, _i.e._, divi-bhavas, being in heaven;
ὀίκεῖος, domesticus, originally οἴκει-ο-ς, being in the house.
These are adjectives formed, it would seem, from old locatives,
just as in Bask we can form from _etche_, house, _etche-tic_, of
the house, and _etche-tic-acoa_, he who is of the house; or from
_seme_, son, _semea-ren_, of the son, and _semea-ren-a_, he who is
of the son. See W. J. van Eys, _Essai de Grammaire de la Langue
Basque_, 1867, p. 16.]
