Assignment for Latin II A (E cluster)

Unfortunately, the AP Exams in the Library do not permit us to use class time to complete this assignment. It will therefore be done as homework, due by ten p.m. Tuesday night. You may work together to find the answers, but each student must post his full answers himself. Yes, this is for a grade. Please read the full instructions in this post and answer all parts of the assignment.

1) Click on the Subscribe to Posts Link above and to the left in order to receive updates from this blog. I suggest Google Reader, but any equivalent service will do. If you haven't been using a feed reader, now is the time to enter the 21st century.

2) Look up the answer to the following questions. Post your answers as comments to this post. Include your name or initials.

A) What is the weather forecast for our area for the Baseball game on Wednesday (in Latin)?
B) Find a diagram of an ancient Roman fort. Provide me with the link.
C) What is the Latin name for the big black stink bugs (a.k.a. acrobat beetles) out and about this time of year? What do they eat? (answer in Latin.)
D) What is the first sentence of St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica in the original Latin?
E) Give me a link to a podcast where I can listen to current news reports in the Latin Language.
F) On Sunday, Fr. James Smith blessed the Motorcycles at Cook's Corner. What would be a Latin word for motorcycle? (Optional: cf. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/motorcycles-blessing-riders-2389753-people-catholic)
G) There exist several free computer programs for Latin translation. Find a link to one which can be installed on your computer, and which does not require internet access to work.
H) Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar (find the link on this page, or try Google Book Search) is the classic, and still possibly the best, Latin Grammar in English. Find his rules for the formation of adverbs. (Hint: 214: Adverbs are regularly formed from Adjectives as follows:)

    h)Further examples of Adverbs and other Particles which are in origin case-forms of nouns or pronouns are given below. In some the case is not obvious, and in some it is doubtful.

    Neuter Accusative forms: non (for ne-oinom, later unum), not; iterum (comparative of i-, stem of is), a second time; demum (superlative of de, down), at last.
    Feminine Accusatives: partim, partly. So statim, on the spot; saltim, at least (generally saltem ), from lost nouns in -tis (genitive -tis). Thus -tim became a regular adverbial termination; and by means of it adverbs were made from many noun- and verb-stems immediately, without the intervention of any form which could have an accusative in -tim: as, separatim, separately, from separatus, separate. Some adverbs that appear to be feminine accusative are possibly instrumental: as, palam, openly; perperam, wrongly; tam, so; quam, as.
    Plural Accusatives: as, alias, elsewhere; foras, out of doors (as end of motion). So perhaps quia, because.
    Ablative or Instrumental forms: qua, where; intra, within; extra, outside; qui, how; aliqui, somehow; foris, out of doors; quo, whither; adeo, to that degree; ultro, beyond; citro, this side (as end of motion); retro, back; illoc (for illo-ce ), weakened to illuc, thither. Those in -tro are from comparative stems (cf. uls, cis , re-).
    Locative forms: ibi, there; ubi, where; illi , illi-c, there; peregri ( peregre ), abroad; hic (for hi-ce ), here. Also the compounds hodie (probably for hodie ), to-day; perendie, day after to-morrow.
    Of uncertain formation: (1) those in -tus (usually preceded by i ), with an ablative meaning: as, funditus, from the bottom, utterly; divinitus, from above, providentially; intus, within; penitus, within; (2) those in -dem, -dam, -do: as, quidem, indeed; quondam, once; quando (cf. donec ), when; (3) dum (probably accusative of time), while; iam, now.

    [*] Note.--The ending -ē is a relic of an old ablative in -ēd (cf. § 43. N. 1).

    [*] b. From adjectives of the third declension by adding -ter to the stem. Stems in nt- (nom. -ns) lose the t-. All others are treated as i-stems:—

    1.fortiter, bravely, from fortis (stem forti-), brave.
    2.ācriter, eagerly, from ācer (stem ācri-), eager.
    3.vigilanter, watchfully, from vigilāns (stem vigilant-).
    4.prūdenter, prudently, from prūdēns (stem prūdent-).
    5.aliter, otherwise, from alius (old stem ali-).
    [*] Note.--This suffix is perhaps the same as -ter in the Greek -τερος and in uter , alter . If so, these adverbs are in origin either neuter accusatives (cf.d) or masculine nominatives.

    [*] c. Some adjectives of the first and second declensions have adverbs of both forms (-ē and -ter). Thus dūrus, hard, has both dūrē and dūriter; miser, wretched, has both miserē and miseriter .

    [*] d. The neuter accusative of adjectives and pronouns is often used as an adverb: as, multum, much; facilĕ, easily; quid, why.

    This is the origin of the ending -ius in the comparative degree of adverbs (§ 218): as, ācrius, more keenly (positive ācriter ); facilius, more easily (positive facilĕ ).

    [*] Note.--These adverbs are strictly cognate accusatives (§ 390).

    [*] e. The ablative singular neuter or (less commonly) feminine of adjectives, pronouns, and nouns may be used adverbially: as, falsō, falsely; citŏ ,

    quickly (with shortened o ); rēctā ( viā ), straight (straightway); crēbrō, frequently; volgō, commonly; fortĕ, by chance; spontĕ, of one's own accord.

    [*] Note.--Some adverbs are derived from adjectives not in use: as, abundē, plentifully (as if from †abundus; cf. abundō, abound); saepĕ, often (as if from †saepis, dense, close-packed; cf. saepēs, hedge, and saepiō, hedge in).
