  • Many of you know that Numen provides a beta paradigm feature. The paradigms of most nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns are available. Generally, they work very well with a couple of well known exceptions (Greek nouns, certain verbal forms, and some irregular forms).

    Once upon a time, the pronouns were working fairly well but not so much recently. Over the past few months there has been an uptick in the number of reports of bad pronoun paradigms. After a thorough review, I must note that all pronoun paradigms were broken. Honestly, I’m not sure how that happened. Nonetheless, I took some corrective action this weekend and fixed most of the pronoun paradigms — with the exception of the personal pronouns. Those will take a bit more work because as you probably know, personal pronouns are the only nominal forms in Latin that don’t have explicit gender (i.e., tu does not code for masculine, feminine, or neuter).

    So in the meantime, please feel free to spot-check the paradigms for your favorite pronouns and please feel free to report errors. PS, it’s always helpful to cite your source if you believe that a paradigm has an incorrect form. Sources do vary!

  • For the first time ever, Numen has cracked the symbolic high water mark! Yesterday over 1000 visitors came to this site! You can see from the chart below the normal weekend/weekday cycle of the site — there must be quite a few tests coming up this week!

    Thanks so much for using this site. As you know, we recently had a lot of server trouble but I’m happy to say that those problems are all cleared up now!

    For those of you who don’t know, I continuously correct errors on the site. Although you might find an error now and then, if you report it, I will fix it as soon as I can. Thanks for using this site, and please share it with friends and family, teachers and students, in fact anyone who studies or has a love of the Latin language.

  • Good news! I made two changes to errata in the verb paradigms this week.

    1. Someone with a real eagle eye noticed that the … ahem (this is a mouthful!) … third person plural future passive imperative was listed in the space reserved for second person plural future passive imperative. Oh my! There is no second person plural future passive imperative! 🙂 (New Latin Grammar, Page 72). 
    2. The verb paradigms for the fero class of verbs included an incorrectly formed gerund/gerundive (future passive participle). That is now fixed.

    As usual, most of the corrections to this Lexicon go on daily. I usually correct between 5 and 10 errors per day. Thanks for all those eagle eyes out there spotting typos, errors, and database mistakes!
