GAH!

And of all the days for me NOT to watch Jeopardy!

I wonder what the questions were. Maybe I could've answered them.

The ones I can remember:

- the commonly accepted meaning of 'exempli gratia' (for example)
- the first-person form of the Latin verb for 'to be' (sum)
- the Latin word for mountain, as used in the names of Martian volcanoes (mons)

Unfortunately, my mind can't think of what the other two were. I'm racking my brain, and it seems to have hit a bad sector... :)

Umm.. Something about, verbs come in these different things, and the question was case. I don't remember the fifth one.. I got them all right at home, though!

But verbs don't come in cases. They come in conjugations. NOUNS have five cases (but they come in declensions).

Woops, neurons misfiring. I was thinking of tenses; the example they used was indeed nouns.. Unless my brain melted again and I'm misremembering even now.
