Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Plautus | | Latin term or phrase: Non feret quin vapulet. | Greetings,
Please see
http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/latinlibrary/plaut.amphi...
Line 308: Non feret quin vapulet.
Would this be okay in classical Latin too? I think Plautus is rather more ancient...
Many thanks,
Simon
PS What is the derivation of vapulo? Is there a verb like vappo, for example, which I think I once read might be related. |

1 day2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 He shan't get off without getting a thrashing.
Explanation:
The sentece is from the translation of Henry Thomas Riley.
About quin: in early Latin quin and a verb could mean without + a noun.
So "quin vapulet" means "without beating." (reference: Bennett, Syntax of Early Latin).
Vapulo 1 doesn't mean to wallop, but the contrary: to get walloped.
I this sentence the problem for me is feret. I think it is feret se, but I am not sure.
