  1. §17.2.1.prcoiri — The passive present infinitive of coire (to be formed, entered into). Serving as the complement of potest with 'societas' as the subject, it expresses passive possibility.
  2. §17.2.1.prex tempore — Refers to a starting point (from a specific time, dies a quo), as distinct from 'ad tempus' (for a certain period) or 'in perpetuum' (in perpetuity) which define duration.
  3. §17.2.1.1coeuntium — The genitive plural of the present participle of coire, used substantively to mean 'of those entering the partnership'. It forms a possessive genitive with 'sunt' ('belong to those who...').
