de post
Latin
Pronunciation
- (Proto-Romance) IPA(key): /deˈpɔst/
Preposition
dē post (+ accusative)
- (Late Latin, proscribed) after, behind
- 5th c. CE, Sergius (grammarian)[1]
- Nemo enim dicit de post forum, nemo enim ab ante.
- Nobody [who speaks correctly] says 'de post the forum', nor 'ab ante' it.
- Nemo enim dicit de post forum, nemo enim ab ante.
- 5th c. CE, Pompeius[2]
- Est talis regula, praepositio praepositioni non iungitur. Hoc dicunt, puta 'apud penes' non potes facere unam partem orationis. Item qui male loquuntur modo ita dicunt 'depost illum ambulat'.
- There is a rule that a preposition is not joined to a preposition. By this they mean, for example, that you cannot make apud and penes into a single lexeme. So those who speak badly now say depost illum ambulat.
- Est talis regula, praepositio praepositioni non iungitur. Hoc dicunt, puta 'apud penes' non potes facere unam partem orationis. Item qui male loquuntur modo ita dicunt 'depost illum ambulat'.
- 5th c. CE, Sergius (grammarian)[1]
