Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Sentence-Question in Plautus and Terence
These differ from the preceding in that the verb of saying or thinking is a kind of substitute for and interpretation of ain, giving such a color to the whole as to make the preceding Statement seem absurd. They imply a somewhat contemptuous rejection, which questions of the preceding class do not necessarily do.
