  1. 3.3.23.primpedimento sint

    The dative 'impedimento' is a dative of purpose or effect, expressing 'serving as a hindrance.' The present subjunctive 'sint' agrees with the compound subject and continues the subjunctive mood of the conditional clause from the preceding chunk (§3.3.22.pr, i.e., iungatur, existat).
