​Nunc uidendum1 de usu et habitatione.

​Constituitur etiam nudus usus, id est sine fructu: qui et ipse2 isdem modis constitui solet, quibus et usus fructus.3

​A bare use, that is, without fruit, is also established: which itself also is usually established in the same ways in which a usufruct also is.

Syntax notes3 items
  1. 7.8.1.pruidendum

    The copula est is omitted after the gerundive uidendum, forming an impersonal passive periphrastic conjugation indicating necessity ('must be considered').

  2. 7.8.1.1qui et ipse

    The relative pronoun qui refers back to nudus usus. The phrase et ipse serves to emphasize 'itself also', drawing a parallel with usufruct.

  3. 7.8.1.1quibus et usus fructus

    The relative quibus is an ablative of manner/means referring back to isdem modis. In the relative clause, the verb phrase constitui solet is omitted after the subject usus fructus.
