Rh §. 302. ''Acc. of Direct Object''—A number of Intransitive Verbs by a change of meaning take an Ace. of the Direct Object.

§ 303. Accusative of Extent of Space and Time.

§ 304. "Cognate" Accusative.—This can only be used without an Adj. if the Noun has a force of its own: servĭt servĭtūtem he slaves as a slave.

In place of the Adj. and Cognate Noun, another Noun may be used to define the action: vincĕrĕ causam to win a case (to gain a victory in a case) ; Glaucum saltārĕ (poet.) to dance the "Glaucus" (dance).

§ 305. Accusative with Verbs compounded with Prepositions.—Verbs may take the Ace. because they are compounded with Prepositions which take the Acc.

So (a) Intransitive Verbs: ădŏrīrī hostēs to rise against (to attack) the enemy; so, incrĕpārĕ cry out against, sŭbīrĕ go under or undergo, etc.

(b) Transitive Verbs (with Acc. of Direct Object also); so especially compounds of trāns: Caesăr mīlĭtēs amnem trānsportăt Cæsar carries his troops across the river. So ănĭmum advertĕrĕ (also ănimadvertĕrĕ): ănĭmum advertī hŏmĭnem I turned my mind to the man (I observed the man).

Double Accusative. Two Accusatives may go

After cēlō, dŏcĕo, ōrō, pōscō, flāgĭtō, rŏgō and interrŏgō.
