Examples
“Iam validam Īlioneī nāvem, iam fortis Achātī, et quā vectus Abās, et quā grandaevus Alētēs,”
Now the sturdy ship of Ilioneus, now [the ship] of brave Achates, and [that ship] by which Abas has been carried, and [that ship] by which old Aletes [has been carried]: the storm defeats [them all]. (The storm at sea destroys the Trojan fleet; the passage exemplifies ellipsis, since it refers to four different ships, yet uses the word “navem” only once.)
“Nāvis, quae in flūmine magna est, in marī parvula est.”
A ship, which is big in a river, is tiny in a sea.
