But here the best results can be secured only by the aid of a cultivated ear. A few practical directions, however, may aid the learner in avoiding obvious errors. I. Avoid the monotonous effect produced by a series of words of the same length, especially of monosyllables; as, et fons et pons. II. Avoid the frequent repetition of the same letters in corresponding parts of successive words, especially in the endings; as, Graeciam quondam magnam vocātam. III. Avoid the genitive plural of future active participles, on account of the harshness of its sound; as, moniturōrum, recturarum. But the genitive plural of futurus is sometimes necessary. IV. Avoid placing a word which ends in two or more consonants before one which begins with two or more consonants; as, ingens stridor. V. Aim at variety in the length, sound, and ending of successive words, and in the ending of successive clauses. See Models I. and II. VI. Special attention should be given to the end of the sentence. A word of two or more syllables with a round and full sound should be selected for this place when the sense permits. A monosyllable should not be so used, unless it be the copula sum, es, est, etc., or some other word which blends readily, in sound and in sense, with what precedes. See Models I. and II. To surpass, conquer, overcome; supero, vinco, devinco. 1. Supero, āre, āvi, ātum; TO SURPASS, TO OVERCOME, TO SURMOUNT. 2. Vinco, ĕre, vici, victum; TO CONQUER, - the usual word in this sense. 3.
