GERUNDIVE AND GERUND.

899. The gerundive stem is formed by adding #-ndo-#, nominative #-ndus#,

#-nda#, #-ndum#, to the present stem: as,

#dandus#, stem #dando-#; #regendus#, #capiendus#; #laudandus#,

#monendus#, #audiendus#. Verbs in #-ere# and #-īre# often have #-undus#,

when not preceded by #u# or #v#, especially in formal style: as,

#capiundus#; #eō#, _go_, always has #eundum#, and #orior#, _rise_,

#oriundus#. For the adjective use, see 288. The gerund is like the

oblique cases of the neuter singular. For #-bundus#, see 289; #-cundus#,

290.
