• [^1]: this is plural, but all the english idioms that we think capture the meaning don't work in plural.

94r b notes

• [^2]: If we assume that the author thought pungo was 3rd conjugation instead of 2nd, then it's subjunctive perfect. Otherwise, it's passive. Which makes no sense.
• parallel construction, two targets, present in german
