N N, n, had its full, pure sound only when it began a syllable; in the middle or at the end of a word it was weakened. Hence the remark of Priscian (p. 556 P.): n quoque plenior in primis sonat, et in ultimis partibus syllabarum, ut nomen, stamen; exilior in mediis, ut amnis, damnum, is not accurate, v. Corss. Ausspr. 1, p. 248 sq. Between two vowels, the single n frequently takes the place, in MSS. and inscriptions, of double n; thus: Pescenius, Porsena, conubium, conecto, conitor, coniveo. The n of con- for com- often falls away before h; as: cohaerere, coheres, cohibere, cohors; and before j; as: coicere, cojux or cojunx, cosul, etc. In very late Latin, n was frequently dropped before s in the participial ending -ans, -ens, and before st, scr, or simple s in composition. In the earlier language this occurs in the ending -iens; as: quoties, toties, vicies, for quotiens, etc.; and in a few other instances, as castresis for castrensis; formosus for the older form formonsus; and in inscriptions, meses for menses, tösor for tonsor, etc.; cf. also, quăsi for quansi (quam si). Before the guttural letters a medial n receives the sound of Greek γ before gutturals, wherefore, in early times, viz., by Attius, we have also g written for n: Agchises, agceps, aggulus, aggens, agguilla, iggerunt, etc., Varr. ap. Prisc. p. 556 P. (cf. Varr. L. L. p. 264 Müll.); cf. Mar. Victor. p. 2462 and 2465 P.; hence called n adulterinum by Nigid. ap. Gell. 19, 14, 7. Assimilation commonly takes place before l, m, and r: illabor, immitto, irrumpo (v. in), yet is often neglected; before the labials, n is commonly changed into m: imberbis, imbutus; impar, impleo; and before initial m the preposition in is frequently written im, v. Prol. Verg. p. 433 Rib.The letter n is frequently inserted, particularly before s: mensis, ensis, ansa; Megalesia and Megalensia, frons and frus. Less freq. before other consonants: tundo, jungo, mingo, pungo, etc.; cf. also: lanterna and laterna, ligula and lingula. Sometimes n is inserted with a vowel: fru-niscor from fruor, and perh. fenestra from festra. The double forms, alioquin and alioqui, ceteroqui and ceteroquin, seem to rest on purely phonetic grounds, v. h. vv.As an abbreviation, N usually stands for natus, nefastus dies, nepos, nomine, novum, the praenomen Numerius, numero, numine. N = natione, natus, nostri, nostro, etc., numerus, numero, etc. N. D. N. = numini domini nostri. N. L. = non liquet (v. liqueo). N. M. V. = nobilis memoriae vir. NN. BB. = nobilissimi. NP. = nefastus prior. NVM. = nummum. In poetry, n alone sometimes stands for the enclitic ne, even before a consonant: nostin quae sit?Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 58; Verg. A. 3, 319; 12, 797 al.

Leg. 2, 1, 1: tamen is ad id locorum talis vir (nam postea ambitione praeceps datus est), consulatum adpetere non audebat,Sall. J. 63, 6; Sen. Ep. 40, 9.

Planc. 41, 98: duplex inde Hannibali gaudium fuit (neque enim quidquam eorum, quae apud hostes agerentur, eum fallebat): nam et liberam Minucii temeritatem se suo modo capturum, et sollertiae Fabii dimidium virium decessisse,Liv. 22, 28, 1.

Hortensii admodum adulescentis ingenium simul aspectum et probatum est,Cic. Brut. 64, 228; 43, 161; id. Div. 2, 31, 66; 2, 32, 68: at prooemium aliquando et narrationem dicit malus homo et argumenta sic, ut nihil sit in his requirendum. Nam et latro pugnabit acriter, virtus tamen erit fortitudo,Quint. 2, 20, 10. Ellipt., in reply to a question or remark, where the answer is implied, and nam introduces the reason for it; for assuredly, certainly: nos hunc Heracliensem, multis civitatibus expetitum ... de nostrā civitate eiciemus? Nam si quis minorem gloriae fructum putat ex Graecis versibus percipi quam ex Latinis, vehementer errat,Cic. Arch. 10, 22 sq.: numquid ergo hic Lysimachus, felicitate quādam dentibus leonis elapsus, ob hoc cum ipse regnaret mitior fuit? Nam Telesphorum Rhodium amicum suum ... in caveā velut novum animal aliquod ... pavit,Sen. de Ira. 3, 17, 3; cf.: de eis rebus, inquit Crassus, quibus sciam poteroque. Tum ille: nam quod tu non poteris aut nescies, quis nostrum tam impudens est, qui se scire aut posse postulet?Cic. de Or. 1, 22, 101. So with particles of asseveration: mehercule, hercule, edepol, etc.: tamen tibi a me nulla orta est injuria. Aes. Nam hercle etiam hoc restat, i. e. not yet; for that is to come hereafter, Ter. Ad. 2, 1, 36: sume, posce, prome quidvis: te facio cellarium. Er. Nam nisi hercle manticinatus probe ero, fusti pectito, Plaut.

The conjunction nam sometimes follows a word of the clause (poet. and perh. not ante-Aug.; v. Lachm. ad Lucr. p. 246): prohibent nam cetera Parcae Scire,Verg. A. 3, 379: solam nam perfidus ille Te colere,id. ib. 4, 421; 10, 585; 1, 444: olim nam quaerere amabam,Hor. S. 2, 3, 20; 41: ego nam videor mihi sanus,id. ib. 2, 3, 302: his nam plebecula plaudit,id. Ep. 2, 1, 186. In transitions.

Esp., in referring to a consideration too obvious to require discussion, for obviously, for it is certain, etc.: postremo hoc in pectus tuum demitte, numquam populum Romanum beneficiis victum esse: nam bello quid valeat, tute scis,Sall. J. 102, 11; Liv. 39, 26, 3; Cic. Tusc. 4, 23, 52; Tac. H. 4, 76. In interrogations, emphatically, expressing wonder or emotion in the questioner; cf. Gr. γάρ. With an interrogative.

A. 2, 373: bellua multorum es capitum. Nam quid sequar aut quem?Hor. Ep. 1, 1, 76. Joined as enclitic to an interrogative word: quinam homo hic ante aedīs nostras conqueritur?Plaut.

D. 1, 10, 24: sed Allobroges diu in incerto habuere quidnam consilii caperent,Sall. C. 41, 1. For quianam, v. quia fin.
