Latin-English Vocabulary
An asterisk (*) preceding an entry marks a word that occurs five or more times in the book; such words should be memorized. As an aid to learning the meanings of compound words, verbs in particular, a hyphen has generally been used to separate the prefix from the root word; e.g., the entry ab-e is employed for abe
= ab + e
, “to go away from.” Words adequately defined in the text, including the occasional Greek word and many proper nouns, are not included in the following list. The abbreviations ML and EL are employed, respectively, for Medieval Latin and Ecclesiastical Latin; compar. and superl. are used for comparative and superlative degrees; and (1) indicates a regular first conjugation verb.
