Varro in Tithonus, on old age:

original: "quam déreliquit múlticupida iúvenitas."
which the very lustful youth iuvenitas a variant spelling of youth has abandoned.

MORATA well-mannered and MOROSA morose/difficult have this difference, that morata is compliant, while morosa is [a person] of contrary and perverse habits. Afranius in Vopiscus:

original: "tum mé morigeram, túm morosam praébeo, / deinde áliquid dedita ópera contróversiae / concínno, laedo intérdum contuméliis."
then I show myself compliant, then morose, then I arrange some controversy with deliberate effort, I sometimes cause harm with insults.

M. Tullius in On Old Age: "But old men are morose, anxious, irascible, and difficult." — Plautus, Aulularia:

original: "dúm modo moráta recte véniat, dotatást satis."
provided she comes well-mannered, she is dowried enough.

Between VEGETVM vigorous/lively and VIGENS flourishing/thriving there is this difference, that vegetum is unscathed, vigens is strong. For we can say vegetum only of the body, but vigens also of the mind, as in many things.

PROFESTI non-festive/working days and FASTI legal/authorized days are distinguished thus. Profesti are empty of festivity. Afranius in Privignus:

original: "quae fácere nos solémus festivó die, / cotídiano tu ópere promisce ómnia; / aequé profesto ac fésto concelebrás focum."
The things we are accustomed to do on a festive day, you [do] on a daily working day, mixing everything; you celebrate the hearth equally on a non-festive day and a festive one.

QVAERERE to seek/inquire and REQVIRERE to seek out/require/inquire after differ in this, since requirere is to seek for a long time. Afranius in Fratriae:
