final, and have been left in Chapter X. 
Differentiation of the Two Infinitives. 
In the main, the differentiation between the uninflected infinitive and the 
inflected infinitive in the preceding adverbial uses is clear. The infinitive of 
specification with verbs, the consecutive infinitive, and the absolute infinitive 
are regularly inflected, as would be expected from the meaning, the infinitive 
habitually denoting a relationship normally expressed, in nouns, by a case 
other than the nominative or the accusative. In the only two instances in 
which we have an uninflected infinitive in the adverbial uses just named, in 
Oros. 46.16,17 b (already quoted), we have, as I believe, an accusative and infini¬ 
tive very loosely connected with the remainder of the sentence, and it is natural 
that the infinitive is not inflected. In the causal use of the infinitive we have 
both the uninflected infinitive and the inflected, but in the former the infinitive 
may possibly, as there indicated, be considered objective (accusative). We 
naturally expect cause to be expressed by the inflected infinitive, as we know 
that, with nouns, cause is often expressed by the genitive case in Anglo-Saxon. 
For the other adverbial uses of the infinitive in the kindred Germanic 
languages, see Chapter XVI, section xii.
