Syntax notes2 items
  1. 8.1.2.prunus ex dominis communium aedium

    The prepositional phrase ex dominis (ablative) functions partitively with unus ("one of the owners"). communium aedium (genitive) modifies dominis, meaning "of a common building". The feminine noun aedes is used in the plural (genitive aedium) to denote a "building" or "house".

  2. 8.1.2.prseruitutem imponere non potest

    The present active infinitive imponere (to impose, establish) is used as a complementary infinitive with the verb potest (can, is able), with seruitutem (servitude) acting as its direct object.
