摘要:This, neo-Latin, text was designed as part of a classroom exercise, to reinforce
memorization—or at least recognition—of the major verbs in classical Latin that govern an
object in the ablative case. Of course, and as many Latin students learn, there is an
“acronymic mnemonic” that supposedly serves a similar function, an English word formed
by the first letters of these verbs: PUFF, for potior, utor, fungor and fruor. To be sure, this
acronym neglects vescor, but, then again, the neo-Latin text is missing utor. More important,
this text actually illustrates this construction in action, with the repeated ablative noun amore.
