25.08.24: Level 1; Maxey (12)

Vocabulary for all three sections

dōnum, -ī [2/n] gift

praemium, -ī [2/n]: reward

tabernāculum, -ī [2/n]: tent

tēctum, -ī [2/n]: [i] roof [ii] (here) house

Note the spelling change in adjectives ending in -er; as soon as any ending is added the /e/ of the -er is lost:

aeger, aegra, aegrum: sick

impiger, impigra, impigrum: active; industrious

Note the formation of this word; the Latin prefix in- / im- / il- forms the opposite of the base word: piger, pigra, pigrum: lazy; sluggish; inactive > impiger: active [i.e. not lazy]
