This lesson contains 4 verbs, 3 nouns, 1 preposition, 1 adjective and 1 adverb.
Causa and causā are a useful reminder that a small mark can signal a different grammatical job. The noun names a cause; the listed causā construction means for the sake of and accompanies a genitive. Read it as a relationship between words rather than another interchangeable gloss. Manus is also worth circling: it is feminine and fourth declension, unlike the masculine examples that introduced that pattern. Pair relinquō with the idea of leaving something behind and sciō with knowing, then recall their different conjugations and principal parts. Challenge B reaches this final listed vocabulary in weeks 29–30, moving from review to assessment. I studies it in week 14 before its own review break. Before continuing into the later book, retain manus's gender, recognise causā with its genitive, and check whether the perfect relīquī still brings relinquō to mind without a hint.
Forms in this lesson: 1st-conjugation verbs (2), prepositions taking the ablative (1), 1st-declension nouns (1), 4th-declension nouns (1), 3rd-declension nouns (1), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (1), 3rd-conjugation verbs (1), 4th-conjugation verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge B, weeks 29 and 30 and Challenge I, week 14.
No. Manus is feminine, although both nouns use the fourth declension. Memorise its gender explicitly.
In that construction it accompanies a genitive, commonly placed after it. Distinguish this use from the dictionary noun causa, cause.
