96 THE PREDICATIVE INFINITIVE WITH “WUTON.” 
NOTES. 
1 . The Adhortative “ Veni” (or “ Venite”). — Several times in the Latin original we 
have the adhortative veni or venite in addition to the subjunctive of exhortation, in the Hepta¬ 
teuch: Gen. 11.7 a : Soblice uton cuman and todcelan baer heora spraece = Venite igitur, descen- 
damns et confundamus ibi linguam; — ib. 19.32 a> b : Uton for dr encan ume faeder mid wine, 
and uton licgan mid him = Veni, inebriemus eum vino dormiamusqxie cum eo; — ib. 37.20 a,b ’ c : 
Uton hine ofslean and don hine on bone . . . pytt and secgan = Venite, occidamus eum et 
mittamus . . . dicamusque; — ib. 31.44: Ga hider near and uton syllan wedd = Veni, ergo 
et inemus foedus. The same idiom is found, also, in the Gospels: Mat. 21.38 a ’ b> c : uton gan 
and ofslean hyne, and habban us hys aehta = Venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus (sic!) 
haereditatem ejus. With the foregoing, compare L. 20.14: Her ys se yrfeweard: curnaS, 
uton hine ofslean, baet seo aeht ure sy = Hie est haeres, occidamus ilium, ut nostra fiat haereditas; 
and notice, also, the use of ga in Gen. 31.44, quoted in the preceding part of this note. 
2. “ (W)uton ” to Be Supplied. — In Laws 280, I Cnut, c. 2 (And Godes cyrican griSian 7 
fri&ian 7 gelomlice secean saulum to haele 7 us sylfum to bearfe), (w)uton is to be supplied, 
as Dr. Liebermann indicates. 
3. “ Uten” for “ (W)uton .”— Occasionally we have uten instead of (w)uton, as in A. S. 
Horn. & L. S. I. 7.322 (uten wurccen (sic!) mihte on bone . . . god); Bened. 3.13 (uten 
ahsien urne drihten); etc.; etc. 
4. “ Ute” for “ (W)uton.” — Occasionally we have ute instead of (w) uton: Boeth. 17.8: 
Ute nu tellan beforan swilcum deman swilce bu wille = 27.6: quouis iudice de opum dignita- 
tumque mecum possessione contende; — A. S. Horn. & L. S. II. 14.51: Ac ute we beon gemyn- 
die ure sawle bearfe; — ib. 14.53: Ute gemunan baene . . . daeg; — ib. 14.77: ute gehyran 
hu etc.; — Wulf. 173.7: ute don eac swa, ealswa hi dydon. 
5. Infinitive in “-e-.” —Occasionally, as in Laws 269, I TEthelred, Expl. a (uton aenne 
God . . . and aenne Cristendom ealle healde and aelene haebendom mid ealle aweorpan), we 
have an infinitive in -e. 
6 . The Infinitive Is to Be Supplied with “ (W)uton ” in Boeth. 75.18: Uton baes, forbaem 
hit is sob = 68 . 22 : a loose paraphrase with a subjunctive; Solil. 55.5: Uton baes = 0; and 
possibly in Laws 269, IX iEthelred, Expl., b but the text is here defective.
