What does 'CASU' mean in english?
What you are talking about is labeling the principal clause, the nominative
clause and the accusative clause? Yes?
Or are you saying that EGO replaces VIR in the sentence and is in the
nominative 'Case' (a possible translation for CASU) and that likewise
SERVOS is in the accusative case (subordinate clause)?
The rule in my book is 'An objective infinitive always has a subject
in the accusative.' If EGO in your replacement is labeled officially
the nominative case does that mean that:
An objective infinitive always has a subject in the accusative but it
may also have a subject in the nominative (EGO)?
Thanks.
