This lesson contains 7 nouns, 2 adverbs, 1 preposition and 1 adjective.
Concilium and cōnsilium are the pair to pause over here. A council is a gathering of people; counsel or a plan is what someone may offer or decide. Both are neuter second-declension nouns, so endings alone will not rescue a mistaken headword. The surrounding vocabulary adds people and arrangements within public or military life: lēgātus, tribūnus and ōrdō. Labor is a third-declension noun in this list, despite an ending that may later look verbal. Challenge B weeks 22–23 discuss translations and relative-clause relationships; I reaches these entries in week 10. Try explaining the difference between a person, a gathering and a plan before covering the English column. Before the following lesson, spell the council/counsel pair carefully, give labōris with labor, and remember that inter requires the accusative even when English among sounds as though it should have no grammatical consequence.
Forms in this lesson: 2nd-declension nouns (4), 3rd-declension nouns (3), prepositions taking the accusative (1), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge B, weeks 22 and 23 and Challenge I, week 10.
Concilium is a council or assembly. Cōnsilium is counsel or a plan. The c/s distinction changes the word even though both are neuter nouns.
No. Labor, labōris is a masculine third-declension noun meaning effort or toil. Read the whole dictionary entry before deciding its role.
