Vern Fearing
A grammatical category in Latin grammar comprising verbs of fear or concern, notable for inverting the expected meaning of subsequent purposive clauses.
In Latin grammar, a verb of fearing is a specific classification of verbs that denote fear, apprehension, or concern. Common examples of these verbs include timeo, terreor, metuo, and vereor.
This grammatical category is particularly notable because it inverts the semantic sense of a following purposive clause. This inversion often runs counter to the natural grammatical intuition of speakers of many non-Latin languages.
