Eun. 3, 2, 8.—And absol.: Obsecro, Quid si adsimulo, satin est? Ter. Phorm. 1, 4, 33.—!*? The [[much]]-discussed [[question]], [[whether]] adsimilo or adsimulo is the [[best]] orthog. (cf. Gron. Diatr. Stat. c. 6, p. 72 sq., and Hand ad h. l.; Quint. 7, 10, 9 Spald.; id. 10, 2, 11 Frotscher; Suet. Tib. 57 Bremi; Tac. G. 9 Passow; id. Agr. 10 Walch; Bessel, Misc. Phil. Crit. 1, 5 al.), is perh. solved in the foll. remarks: Such is the [[affinity]] of the [[sound]] of ŭ and ĭ in Lat., [[that]] [[when]] [[they]] [[stand]] in [[two]] [[successive]] syllables, separated by the semivowel l, the u is accommodated to the i. Thus, from consŭl arises consĭlĭum; from exsŭl, exsĭlĭum; from famŭl, famĭlĭa; so the terminations ĭlis and ŭlus, not ŭlis and ĭlus (these [[few]], mutĭlus, nubĭlus, pumĭlus, rutĭlus, [[appear]] to be founded in the u of the [[first]] [[syllable]]; [[but]] for the heteroclites gracila, sterila, etc., a nom. [[sing]]. [[gracilus]], [[sterilus]], etc., is no [[more]] needed [[than]] for [[Bacchanal]] [[orum]], a nom. Bacchanalium, and for carioras, Manil. ap. Varr. L. L. 7, § 28 MSS., a form cariorus, a, um); and so it is also explained, [[that]] from the orig. [[facul]] and [[difficul]] arose [[faculter]], [[facultas]]; [[difficulter]], [[difficultas]]; not facŭlis, facŭliter, facŭlītas; difficŭlis, difficŭlĭter, difficŭlĭtas; [[but]] [[facilis]], [[faciliter]], [[facilitas]]; [[difficilis]], [[difficiliter]], difficilitas. This [[principle]], applied to the derivatives of [[simul]], shows the [[correctness]] of the orthography [[simulo]], [[simulatio]], [[simulator]], [[with]] [[similis]], [[similitudo]], [[similitas]]; adsimulo, adsimulatio, adsimulator, [[with]] adsimilis; [[dissimulo]], [[dissimulatio]], [[dissimulator]], [[with]] [[dissimilis]] and [[dissimilitudo]], etc.; cf. Diom. p. 362 P.: Similo non dicimus, sed [[similis]] est. [[Sane]] dixerunt auctores simulat per u, hoc est ὁμοιάζει. But [[since]] the copyists knew [[that]] the [[more]] [[rare]] signif. of [[making]] [[like]] [[was]] not generically [[connected]] in the words simulare and adsimulare [[with]] the [[more]] [[usual]] one of imitating, [[dissembling]], [[they]] wrote, [[where]] the [[former]] [[was]] required, similo, adsimilo, and gave [[occasion]] thereby to the [[entirely]] [[unfounded]] [[supposition]] [[that]] the ancients wrote, for the signif. [[making]] [[like]], [[similo]], adsimilo; for [[that]] of imitating, feigning, [[simulo]], adsimulo Fr.—Hence, assĭmŭlātus (ads-), a, um, P. a.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>A</b> Made [[similar]], [[similar]], [[like]]: totis mortalibus adsimulata Ipsa [[quoque]] ex aliis debent constare elementis, Lucr. 2, 980: montibus adsimulata Nubila, id. 6, 189: litterae lituraeque omnes adsimulatae, Cic.
