I. VERBS GOVERNING THE ACCUSATIVE. A transitive verb in the active voice is followed by the accusative of the object; in the passive this accusative is changed to the nominative of the subject and the a.gent is commonly put in the ablative with 06 or a, denoting the source from which the action conies. A verb in one sense maybe transitive; in another, intransitive ? as coneulo aliquem, 'I consult a person;' conaulo alicui, 'I give a person counsel;' horreo, 'I shudder;' horreo dolorem, 'I shudder at, ' i.e., 'dread, ' 'pain.' Transitive verbs compounded with the preposition trans, as trnduco, trajicio, traneporlo, have two accusatives, one the object of the verb, the other depending on the preposition, which is sometimes repeated before the noun. Transmitto omits its object?as Grues maria transmit- tunt, 'cross seas.' Verbs of making, naming, esteeming, and the like, take two accusatives, one the object, the other in the relation of a predicate. Some transitive verbs take the accusative of a person as a direct object und of a thing as an indirect object, ? such are doceo, poeco, tnoneo and the like; and in the passive construction, the person is put in the nominative and the other accusative is left unchanged. Many intransitive verbs denoting motion are compounded with prepositions, as ad, circuni, cum (con), in, per, praeter, subter, super, and trans, and thus become transitive and take an accusative. The impersonal verbs miaeret, pioet, poemtet, pudet, and tnedet are followed by the accusative of the person 'pitying, ' Ac., and by the genitive of the object 'pitied, ' Ac.: so also the passive forms, misere- tur, Ac.] Nimium tiraeraus mortem, exsilium, paupertatem. Sua quemque fraus et suus terror maxime vexat, suum quemque scelus agitat amen
