SPECIAL PRINCIPLES.

350. 1. Nouns. A Genitive or other oblique case regularly follows the word
upon which it depends. Thus:--

a) Depending upon a Noun:--

tribunus plebis, _tribune of the plebs_;

filius regis, _son of the king_;

vir magni animi, _a man of noble spirit_.

Yet always senatus consultum, plebis scitum.

b) Depending upon an Adjective:--

ignarus rerum, _ignorant of affairs_;

digni amicitia, _worthy of friendship_;

plus aequo, _more than (what is) fair_.

2. Appositives. An Appositive regularly follows its Subject; as,--

Philippus, rex Macedonum, _Philip, king of the Macedonians_;

adsentatio, vitiorum adjutrix, _flattery, promoter of evils_.

Yet flumen Rhenus, _the River Rhine_; and always in good prose urbs Roma,
_the city Rome_.

3. The Vocative usually follows one or more words; as,--

audi, Caesar, _hear, Caesar!_

4. Adjectives. No general law can be laid down for the position of
Adjectives. On the whole they precede the noun oftener than they follow it.

a. Adjectives of _quantity_ (including _numerals_) regularly precede
their noun; as,--

omnes homines, _all men_;

septingentae naves, _seven hundred vessels_.

b. Note the force of position in the following:--

media urbs, _the middle of the city_;

urbs media, _the middle city_,

extremum bellum, _the end of the war_;

bellum extremum, _the last war_.

c. Romanus and Latinus regularly follow; as,--

senatus populusque Romanus, _the Roman Senate and People_;

ludi Romani, _the Roman games_;

feriae Latinae, _the Latin holidays_.

d. When a Noun is modified both by an Adjective and by a Genitive, a
favorite order is: Adjective, Genitive, Noun; as,--

summa omnium rerum abundantia, _the greatest abundance of all things_.

5. Pronouns.

a. The Demonstrative, Relative, and Interrogative Pronouns regularly
precede the Noun; as,--

hic homo, _this man_;

ille homo, _that man_;

erant duo itinera, quibus itineribus, etc., _there were two routes, by
which_, etc.

qui homo? _what sort of man_?

b. But ille in the sense of '_that well known_,' '_that famous_,' usually
stands after its Noun; as,--

testula illa, _that well-known cu
