ORIGINAL SUBJUNCTIVES.

1786. Questions already in the subjunctive may also become indirect.

Thus, #quō mē vertam?# _V._ 5, 2, _which way shall I turn?_ (1563)

becomes indirect in #quō mē vertam nesciō#, _Clu._ 4, _I don’t know

which way I am to turn_. #quid faciam?# H. _S._ 2, 1, 24, _what shall I

do?_ (1563) becomes indirect in #quid faciam, praescrībe#, H. _S._ 2, 1,

5, _lay down the law, what I’m to do_. #neque satis cōnstābat quid

agerent#, 3, 14, 3, _and it was not at all clear what they had best do_.

#dubitāvī hōsce hominēs emerem an nōn emerem#, Pl. _Cap._ 455, _I had my

doubts, whether to buy these men or not to buy_ (1564).
