Exempla

“… sēmianimemque sinū germānam amplexa fovēbat cum gemitū, atque ātrōs siccābat veste cruōrēs. [Anna] held her near lifeless sister in her bosom and was caressing her, with a groan, and was trying to stanch the dark blood with her dress. (The scansion is four syllables, the first “i” consonantal: sēm-yah-ni-mem. Here Dido⟳ is literally near death; cf. Aeneid 4.672 for⟳ Anna’s figurative exanimis.)”
