Exempla

“Nōn hercle tam istōc validē cassābant cadī; sed in cellā erat paulum nimis loculī lūbricī”

No, that’s not why the jars tottered so much; rather, in the cellar there was a small and very slippery spot

“mandantem amplectī cupiunt et bracchia tendunt:”

[As he is] entrusting [his request to them], they long to embrace [him] and extend their arms: the fleeting shade eludes their grasping hands. (The ghost of Remus appears to his foster-parents Faustulus and Acca Larentia; see also Romulus and Remus.)

“Lingua fallāx nōn amat vēritātem et os lūbricum operātur ruīnās.”

A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin. (trans.: Douay-Rheims Bible)
