Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

1. sē, pron. reflex., v. sui.

2. sē (sēd).

      1. 1. Prep., v. sine init.
      2. 2. Prep. insepar.
        1. a. For sine, without; e. g. securus (= sine curā).
        2. b. Aside, by itself; as sepono, to lay aside.
      3. 3. sē = semi, half; as selibra, semodius.
      4. 4. sē = sex; as semestris.

sĭne (old form sē or sēd; v. the foll.), prep. with abl. [si and ne; si, the demonstrative instrumental, and the negative ne; hence, nesi was also found, Fest. p. 165; cf. Rib. Beiträge, p. 15; Corss. Ausspr. 1, 201; 1, 778].

  1. I. Without.
    1. A. Form se (sed): socordia compositum videtur ex se, quod est sine, et corde, Fest. pp. 292 and 293 Müll.: sed pro sine inveniuntur posuisse antiqui, id. p. 336 ib.: SI PLVS MINVSVE SECVERVNT SE FRAVDE ESTO, Fragm. XII. Tab. ap. Gell. 20, 1, 49: IM CVM ILLO SEPELIREI VRIVE SE FRAVDE ESTO, id. ap. Cic. Leg. 2, 24, 60: EAM PECVNIAM EIS SED FRAVDE SVA SOLVITO, Inscr. Grut. 509, 20.
    2. B. Form sine: tu sine pennis vola, Plaut. As. 1, 1, 180: ne quoquam pedem Efferat sine custode, id. Capt. 2, 3, 97: ut (urbs) sine regibus sit, Cic. Rep. 1, 37, 58: sine ullo domino, id. ib. 1, 43, 67: sine ullo certo exemplari formāque rei publicae, id. ib. 2, 11, 22: sine ullius populi exemplo, id. ib. 2, 39, 66: sine ullā dubitatione; v. dubitatio; for which, less freq.: sine omni, etc., Plaut. Aul. 2, 2, 38; 4, 1, 20: sine omni malitiā, id. Bacch. 5, 2, 13; Ter. And. 2, 3, 17; Cic. de Or. 2, 1, 5; Ov. Tr. 4, 8, 33: sine dubio; v. dubius: pol si istuc faxis, haud sine poenā feceris, Plaut. Capt. 3, 5, 37; cf.: non sine magnā spe, Caes. B. G. 1, 44: non sine conscio Surgit marito, Hor. C. 3, 6, 29; cf.: non sine floribus, id. ib. 3, 13, 2: non sine multis lacrimis, id. ib. 3, 7, 7: non sine fistulā, id. ib. 4, 1, 24.
      In poets often with a noun instead of an adjective or adverb; as, sine sanguine, bloodless; sine pondere, weightless; sine fine, endless; sine nomine, nameless; sine sidere, starless; sine viribus, powerless, feeble, etc.: ignea vis et sine pondere caeli, Ov. M. 1, 26; so id. ib. 2, 537; 3, 417; 5, 249; 7, 306; 7, 275; 7, 830; 8, 518; 11, 429; 15, 120; Verg. A. 3, 204; 5, 694; 6, 534; Hor. C. 4, 14, 32 al.
      Hence, poet., sine pondere, like a noun in dat., for rebus sine pondere: pugnabant mollia cum duris, sine pondere habentia pondus, Ov. M. 1, 20.
      Several times repeated: si sine vi et sine bello velint rapta tradere, Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 51; cf.: sine praesidio et sine pecuniā, Cic. Att. 8, 3, 5; and more freq. without et: eam confeci sine molestiā, Sine sumptu, sine dispendio, Ter. Eun. 5, 4, 6 and 7: hominem sine re, sine fide, sine spe, sine sede, sine fortunis, ore, linguā, manu, vita omni inquinatum, Cic. Cael. 32, 78: se solos sine vulnere, sine ferro, sine acie victos, Liv. 9, 5; v. Drak. ad Liv. 7, 2, 4.
      With part. and subst. (rare): sine causā antecedente, Cic. Fat. 19, 43: sine externā et antecedente causā, id. ib. 11, 24: sine viso antecedente, id. ib. 19, 44: sine inpensā operā, Liv. 5, 4, 4; 7, 12, 11; 45, 25, 7; cf.: sine rest tutā potestate, id. 3, 52, 2 MSS. et Madv. (Weissenb. ex conj.: quā sibi non restitutā).
      In epistolary style once without a case, referring to a preceding noun: age jam, cum fratre an sine? Cic. Att. 8, 3, 5.
      With gerund (very rare): nec sine canendo tibicines dicti, Varr. L. L. 6, § 75 Müll.
      Taking the place of a clause: armantur senes aut pueri, et numerus militum sine exercitūs robore expletur, i. e. without acquiring, Just. 5, 6, 3: exercitus ejus sine noxā discurrit, id. 12, 7, 8.
      By the poets sometimes put after its case: flammā sine thura liquescere, Hor. S. 1, 5, 99: vitiis nemo sine nascitur, id. ib. 1, 3, 68.
  2. II. In composition, se, or before a vowel, sed, denotes a going or taking aside, a departing, separating, etc.: secedo, secerno, segrego; seditio.
