56 PRONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM Mach. 212,10-1 ... (JetXVetç nwç ÛCTat lvaç àfl'év'r1Jç önov CT' lvn1ÄwCTev 1] 'rVxr;.

The accusative also occurs. In each of the following examples the relat. clause is nonessential, but especially this sort of clauses are easily conceived as essential. For that reason it is better to discuss them here. Kall. 1148-9 äy(!vnvovç ~Äa"aç (Jewovç, ónov no-rè 'rotoihov nO(!'rá(!1Jv elç 'riJv nÓ(!'rav 'rov "aveLç ov(JF-V lOé"ev. The relat. clause does not give any further particulars about who these watchmen are. It just elaborates on something we already know: that they are exceptionally good. Livistr. E 2378 ff.

Yet there is a pronomen coniunctum. lts presence causes the relat. clause to be more independent (we shall see some clear instances of this phenomenon in the next paragraph!), but 186 See a1so 2.3.1. 187 Cf. Flor. 927-8 in 2.2.2. 188 If, by the way, the pronomen coniunctum were 1eft out, the sentence would have a very odd meaning : "She gave birth to a child which had not been born yet by another woman (!)".
PRONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM 57 such an independence cannot be reconciled with the complete unity of the antecedent and the relat. clause. 1 mber. 604-5 bu; ï ö;rcov è"da{)'YJ'uov .0 a.ywv flovaa.rietv· è"ûvo ónov .0 g"naev ÓJeaîa ij Maeyaewva. This is a similar case. There is reason to suppose that the presence of the pronomen coniunctum has been caused by the wish of the author to put great emphasis on the fact that this is actually the cloister which was built by Margarona. I rather assume, however, that the text is not correct: the first half of vs. 605 has been heavily corrected by the editor 189.

The word I!va should be emphasized, I think, so that the antecedent is definite. But even if the relat. clause must be viewed as essential, the pronomen coniunctum is necessary: the relat. clause consists of two parts, of which the second needs arelat. pronoun in another case. This sentence is an instance of arelat. clause passing into a demonstr. sentence 190. Id. 68,14-5 Kal ifqJeeáv .ov a"ov.áet GtCJeeü"ov àno I:1.vt"OV, ónov 1:1.).).ov atCJeeov oVCJèv .0 ènieva ... This relat. clause seems to be essential, but it merely modifies the antecedent; it does not define it. We discussed a similar example in 2.4.3.1.2 (Achill. 2-3 L). 2.4.3.1.4. Erotocrito8. Some exceptional cases gave us occasion to observe that iron rules do not exist in a language, and that a person may play with these rules in his own subjective way 191 . Great authors are apt to use their language in a freer and more subjective way than other people who are endowed with less fantasy. When some time ago I occupied myself with a study on the use of the pronomen coniunctum in the Erotocrito8 of Cornaros, I discovered that his usage does follow certain rules, but that, on the other hand, he plays with the patterns his language offers him: if arelat. clause actually is not independent, he may make it independent, and conversely. We shall discuss some examples of essential clauses which were made nonessential by Cornaros for some reason or other by adding a pronomen coniunctum.

Cornaros, however, wishing to show the sharp contrast between the fa cts that the 189 My proposal is to read 605 as follows: i"ûvo önov l"nGev wea{a 1] Maeyaewva. Now there is as much hiatus in 605 as in 604. 190 See note 175. 191 See 2.4.
