A threat can be public or personal in this vocabulary. Comitia concerns assemblies or elections; īnsidior describes plotting or lying in wait. Exilium and effugiō distinguish exile as a condition from escaping as an action. Ōdī has a perfect-shaped form with a present meaning, hate, which is easy to misread if tense labels replace attention to the entry. The expression meā sponte, with its other possessive forms, marks acting of one's own accord. Challenge III week 20 works through this list with Lesson 8 in translation and style discussion. Notice whether the passage presents an action as voluntary, threatened or compelled, using the words actually on the page as evidence. Before continuing, recognise ōdī's present sense, distinguish an assembly from an uproar, and preserve the voluntary force of the sponte expression instead of dropping it as incidental wording.
Forms in this lesson: 2nd-declension nouns (4), 3rd-declension nouns (2), 3rd-conjugation verbs (2), 1st-conjugation verbs (1), prepositions taking the accusative (1), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (1), deponent verbs (1), irregular verbs (1), 4th-declension nouns (1).
