Hence even mas. or fern, plurals, signifying inanimate objects, are sometimes supposed to be found with a singular verb, especially in Pindar; but these instances may perhaps be corrected: see Heyne not. in Pind. Ol.xi.5. Obs. 2. When the verb, (especially orl, ify), stands first it is often singular with a plural subject, which then appears to follow as a correction; as, eari 5 -...
