Notes

  1. §43.26.17.printerdicto uti possidetis ... uti potest — The infinitive 'uti' from the verb 'utor' (to use) and the word 'uti' (as) in the name of the interdict 'uti possidetis' are homonyms but grammatically distinct. The noun 'interdicto' is in the ablative case as it is governed by the verb 'utor'.
