Luke x. 7; Goth. farjan means to sail, and this seems to be the original sense of fara (vide far); A. S. faran; the Germ. fahren and Engl. fare are used in a limited sense; in the Engl. Bible this word never occurs (Cruden); Swed. fara; Dan. fare.]

    2. to travel, go forth or through, pass, or the like; þú skalt fara í Kirkjubæ, Nj. 74; fara ór landi, to fare forth from one’s country, Fms. v. 24; kjóll ferr austan, Vsp. 51; Surtr ferr sunnan, 52; snjór var mikill, ok íllt at fara, and ill to pass, Fms. ix. 491; fóru þeir út eptir ánni, Eg. 81; siðan fór Egill fram með skóginum, 531; þeim sem hann vildi at færi … Njáll hét at fara, Nj. 49; fara munu vér, Eg. 579; Egill fór til þess er hann kom til Álfs. 577, Fms. xi. 122; fara þeir nú af melinum á sléttuna.

    likewise: nomen famaque alicujus accidit ad aliquem,

    id. 21, 10, 12; v. Fabri ad h. l.—Hence sometimes in Livy: vox or fama accidit (ad aurīs or ad aliquem), with an acc. c. inf.:

    ut vox etiam ad hostes accideret captum Cominium esse,

    Liv. 10, 41, 7:

    A.
    In gen., to fall out, come to pass, happen, occur; and with dat. pers., to happen to, to befall one. (The distinction between the syn. evenio, accido, and contingo is this: evenio, i. e. ex-venio, is used of either fortunate or unfortunate events: accido, of occurrences which take us by surprise; hence it is used either of an indifferent, or, which is its general use, of an unfortunate occurrence: contingo, i. e. contango, indicates that an event accords with [p. 17] one's wishes; and hence is generally used of fortunate events. As Isid. says, Differ. 1: Contingunt bona: accidunt mala: eveniunt utraque):

    res accidit,

    Caes. B. G. 1, 14;

    Id acciderat, ut Galli consilium caperent,

    ib. 3, 2:

    si quid adversi acciderit,

    Cic. Ac. 2, 38, 121; cf. ib. 1, 26, 57:

    nollem accidisset tempus, in quo, etc.,

    id. Fam. 3, 10:

    si qua calamitas accidisset,

    id. Verr. 2, 3, 55: id. Rosc. Am. 34:

    contra opinionem accidit,

    Caes. B. G. 3, 9:

    pejus Sequanis accidit,

    ib. 1, 31:

    periculum accidit,

    ib. 3, 3:

    detrimentum accidit,

    ib. 7, 52. Also of fortunate occurrences:

    omnia tibi accidisse gratissima,

    Cic. Fam. 3, 1; 11, 15:

    accidit satis opportune,

    Caes. B. G. 4, 22; cf. Brem. Nep. Milt. 1, 1; Herz. Caes. B. G. 7, 3.—Constr. with ut (Zumpt, § 621), sometimes with quod:

    accidit perincommode, quod eum nusquam vidisti,

    Cic. Att. 1, 17; or with inf.:

    nec enim acciderat mihi opus esse,

    id. Fam. 6, 11. Pleonast. in narrations: accidit ut, it happened, or came to pass, that: accidit ut una nocte omnes Hermae dejicerentur, it happened that, etc., Nep. Alc. 3, 2; so Cic. Fam. 3, 8, 8; id. Att. 1, 5, 4 al.—
    B.
    In part.
    1.
    Si quid cui accidat, or si quid humanitus accidat, euphemist. for to die; if any thing should happen to one (for which Ennius says:

    si quid me fuerit humanitus, Ann. v. 128 ed. Vahl.): si quid pupillo accidisset,

    Cic. Inv. 2, 21; Caes. B. G. 1, 18;

    si quid mihi humanitus accidisset,

    Cic. Phil. 1, 4; Dig. 34, 4, 30 § 2 al. (cf. the Greek ei ti pathoi); so, per aposiopesin, sive—quod heu timeo, sive superstes eris, Ov. Her. 13, 164. (But Cic. Mil. 22, 58; Caes. B. G. 2, 35, and similar passages, are to be taken in the usual signif.)—
    2.
    To turn out (this very rare):

    timeo “incertum” hoc quorsum accidat,

    Ter. And. 1, 5, 29:

    si secus acciderit,

    Cic. Fam. 6, 21, 2. —
    3.
    In gram., to belong to:

    plurima huic (verbo) accidunt (i. e. genus, tempora),

    Quint. 1, 5, 41 al.

  • 14 ни аза

    ни аза < в глаза>, тж. и аза в глаза (не знать, не смыслить и т. п.)
    разг., неодобр.
    not know a thing (the first thing) about smth.; be unable to make out a letter of smth.; cf. not know A from B; not know a 'b' from a bull's foot (a battledore)

    Знаю, что много наберётся таких умников, пописывающих по судам и читающих даже гражданскую грамоту, которые, если дать им в руки простой часослов, не разобрали бы ни аза в нём, а показывать на позор свои зубы - есть уменье. (Н. Гоголь, Вечер накануне Ивана Купала) — I know there are lots of smart fellows who scribble in law-courts and read even modern print, though if you put in their hands a simple prayer-book they could not make out a letter of it, and yet they are clever enough at grinning and mocking!

    Анна Петровна. Вот, говорят, в сенат надо жалобу подать, а кто напишет-то... Мы, что ли, с тобой? Так мы и аза в глаза не знаем. (А. Островский, Бедная невеста) — Anna Petrovna: Here, they say, I must present a petition to the Senate; but who'll write it? - You and I, do you suppose? We don't know A from B.

    Старичку и в голову не могло прийти, что товарищ Рудин ни аза в цветоводстве не смыслит, что он просто равнодушен к цветам, как равнодушен он и к людям. (Б. Горбатов, Донбасс) — It never entered his mind that Rudin did not know a thing about floriculture and that he was as indifferent to flowers as he was to people.
