Note. We must here notice some verbs which are commonly used as actives, but by some writers, and of good authority, as deponents also. Such are: communicor, commurmuror (Cic. in Pis. 25.), fluctuor, fruticor (Cic.), lacrimor, luxurior, nictor. Velificor, in the figurative sense of striving after, is used by Cicero as a deponent, but in the primary sense of "sailing" it is much more usually active. Adulor, arbitror, criminor, and more especially dignor, are used by Cicero as passives, as well as deponents, throughout, and not merely in the participle, as is the case with many others. See the Chapter on the Participle, in the Syntax.

Mědeor, without a participle, for which medicatus, from medicari, is commonly used.

* Mereor, meritus sum, deserve. The active is used in the sense of serving or earning, as merere stipendia; but the forms are not kept distinct.

Commereor, demereor, promereor, have the same meaning.

Misereor, miseritus or misertus sum, pity.

Respecting the impersonal verb miseret or miseretur me, see § 225.

Reor, rătus sum, reri, think.

Tueor, tuitus sum, look upon, fig. defend.

Contueor, intueor, look upon. There was an old form tuor, after the third conjugation, of which examples are found in the comic writers and in Lucretius, and in Nep. Chabr. 1. 3. intuuntur is found for the common intuentur. The adject. tutus is derived from the form tuor.

Vereor, veritus sum, fear.

Revereor, reverence; subvereor, slightly fear.
