"synonymy of native occasion sentences even of non-observational kind can be settled if raised, but the sentences cannot be translated.' "" To go beyond these boundaries of translation by stimulus meaning, the linguist uses analytical hypotheses, in which he uses the steps (1) - (4) to equate parts of the native sentences to English words or phrases. Using the analytical hypotheses the linguist can form new sentences and create a translation manual. In Chapter 2 of ""Word and Object"", Quine shows that the total apparatus of grammatical and semantic devices in a language is not objectively translatable into foreign languages."

Sometimes when the noun has an adjective it is placed before the preposition for emphasis, e.g. ""magnā cum cūrā"" 'with great care' (Cicero), but this is not an invariable rule. Occasionally also the opposite order (noun-preposition-adjective) may be used in poetry and later prose, e.g. ""silvā lupus in Sabīnā"" (Horace) 'a wolf in the Sabine forest', or ""metū in magnō"" (Livy) 'in great fear'.

"This is transliterated as ""rrh"" in Latin. In crasis (contraction of two words), when the second word has a rough breathing, the contracted vowel does not take a rough breathing. Instead, the consonant before the contracted vowel changes to the aspirated equivalent (i.e., π → φ, τ → θ, κ → χ), if possible, and the contracted vowel takes the apostrophe or coronis (identical to the smooth breathing).
