without essential change of meaning arises necessarily from the highly inflexional condition of the language. Morari. Plaut., Most. iii. 2, 159. Apage istum … nihil moror ductarier. Plaut. i. 1, 54. Nunc unae quinque remorantur minae. This is a causative middle. Mutari. A very interesting word. In the active form it is used absolutely. Liv., iii. 10, 6. Ut nihil odor mutaret. Liv., v. 13, 1. Annona ex ante convecta copia nihil mutavit. Liv., ix. 12, 3. Adeoque … animi mutaverant. Cf. also Liv., xxix. 3, 10: mutasse. Liv. xxxix. 51, 10: mutaverint. Lucr., i. 686. Mutato ordine mutant. Plaut., Prol. Amphit. 54. Deus sum, commutavero. Sometimes the reflexive se comes in:— Plaut., Amphit. 270. Neque se luna quoque mutat. Alongside of these variations we have mutor. Lucr., i. 165. Nec fructus idem arboribus constare solerent, Sed mutarentur. Nor would the same fruits keep constant to trees, but would change. (Monro.) Tac. Ann., i. 44. Discurrunt mutati et seditiosissimum quemque vinctos trahi. They change sides, and away go they, and drag the most disaffected in chains. Plaut., Amph. 839. Ita nunc homines immutantur, postquam peregre advenimus. Lucr., i. 802. Sic alias aliis rebus mutarier omnis.
