nungenti nine hundred 285, 1. 407, 13; rutundus round, cf. to p. 255, 18. Sometimes o for u: circumcorses 527, 1; forcam fork 128, 5; fructos fruits 486, 6; notabundus noting 486, 20. There are two us: sideruum of the stars 117, 21. Conversely, the other u is omitted in adfectum 498, 10; attribunt they attribute 483, 5; extingunt they extinguish 481, 5. These singular cases are added: profluuit it flows forth 119, 6; guila gullet de op. 11, 6. 101. In Greek words, the letter y is mostly preserved; i for y is very rare: autolicum 93, 2; cinosuris Cynosura 33, 22; or y for i: bythynia Bithynia 403, 14. Also rare is u for y: fruges fruits 396, 5; puxides boxes 222, 21. We come to the consonants. The letter b in the forms of the verb scribere to write or its derivatives is mostly retained before s or t: cf. to p. 14, 18. 42, 4. Not rarely, the letters b and u have been permuted; b for u: adiubet he aids 44, 1; beneficus beneficent 483, 14; conlubione by agreement 567, 7; conserbant they keep 305, 6; ebulsis torn out 545, 7; fribolis frivolous 104, 19; libore moisture 342, 10; nobis to us 316, 9; proterbos insolent 221, 19; reuolbuntur they are rolled back 539, 19; uibamus we were living 575, 10; in forms of the verb: 494, 14. 505, 7. 572, 8 etc.; u for b: aceruus, aceruitas heap, heap-like 12, 19. 368, 6. 380, 8 and more often; aeuoris 748, 22; uiuaculus long-lived 87, 11; ureuis short 523, 7; deliuasse to have erred 78, 2; heuetatus blunted 482, 7; laui I washed 485, 16; prouitate probity 485, 1; in forms of the verb: 32, 12. 182, 23. 184, 11 (dauimus). 223, 2. 465, 5. 486, 12. 490, 7. 492, 18. 508, 3. 530, 10 etc. In the letter c, these things are to be mentioned. For c, cc is almost constantly used in inbeccillus, inbeccillitas weak, weakness (cf. to 8, 2); the simple c is rare (598, 4. 745, 10); zaccarias is 327, 4, but zacarias 325, 15; zaccharias 358, 11; ambracchiotes Ambraciot 238, 12; cacchinis with laughter 85, 2. c and ch vary in the word sepulcrum sepulcher, cf. to p. 44, 23. 362, 8; sochiale social 515, 16 is singular; in words of Greek and foreign origin: achademici 133, 7, academici more often; anacarsin Anacharsis 259, 15; arcipirata arch-pirate 236, 1; archensilas Arcesilaus 185, 13; cloris Chloris 73, 9; coreb Coreb 344, 4; cristus Christ 324, 16; cristiani Christians 406, 4; crysippus 237, 8. 656, 9, chrysippus 17, 1; dicearcus Dicaearchus 608, 7, dicearchus 610, 10. 627, 2; musichi musicians 627, 12; scola school 221, 20. 224, 5, schola 222, 13; stomaci stomachs 412, 14. Here, what else needs to be said about the letter h is appropriately added. It has often fallen away: coortentur let them be urged 463, 10; exibere to show 482, 18. 523, 4. 15; ominis of a man 192, 17; ortamentis by incitements 463, 7; ortensio in the garden 484, 8; ostiarum of doors 480, 2; paretra quiver 455, 4; triumpabit he will triumph 571, 3; armoniam harmony 627, 12; atleticam athletic 68, 10; faetonte Phaethon 151, 11; esiodus Hesiod 163, 18; ieronymus Jerome 191, 9; tyrintius Tirynthian 80, 4; it sometimes moved into a false place in Greek words: anthistenes Antisthenes 16, 15; aristharcus Aristarchus 406, 22; leuchotea Leucothea 82, 19; phytagoras Pythagoras 16, 10; tethrarcae tetrarchs 350, 5; it has been introduced incorrectly: honerauerit he will have honored 490, 18; most often in hii, hiis these; filoctheta Philoctetes 33, 11; teuthaten Teuthaten 79, 2. The letter d is almost constantly preserved in quidquid whatever (cf. to p. 8, 23), but quicquam anything is no less constant. Then the usual forms are ad for at but (cf. to p. 8, 11), mostly adque and (cf. to p. 7, 2), adquin; atquin is very rare, atqui does not occur (cf. to p. 12, 1); often aliquit something (cf. to p. 106, 3), aliut something else...

1. It is strange that the same form is p. 545, 1 in R: guilae, and p. 564, 4 in H: guylae; add also stranguilent in R 427, 5. 559, 8, stranguilassent in H 559, 8: in which forms the letter i cannot be referred to the case.
