    Lucr. 2, 973:

    cum omne animal patibilem naturam habeat, etc.,

    etiam fera animalia, si clausa teneas, virtutis obliviscuntur,

    id. A. 15, 37; Plin. 10, 63, 83, § 171.—Also of the universe, considered as an animated existence:

    hunc mundum animal esse, idque intellegens et divinā providentiā constitutum,

    Sometimes in a more restricted sense, as antith. to man, a beast (as in Heb., animal, from, to live):

    multa ab animalium vocibus tralata in homines,

    Varr. L. L. 7, 5, 100:

    alia animalia gradiendo, alia serpendo, etc.,

    A.
    certō, with certainty, certainly, surely, of a truth, in fact, really, object. and subject. (cf. supra, II. A. and B.); only in the comic poets, and sometimes (most. freq. in his epistt.) in Cic., while the adverbial form certe belongs to all periods and all species of composition. The difference between them is, perhaps, merely historical; but v. infra, certe, B. I. 2. init.
    1.

    B.

    I.
    Affirming strongly, with certainty, certainly, undoubtedly, assuredly, surely, really.
    1.
    Object.:

Off. 3, 29, 105; id. Fin. 2, 27, 91.—
    2.
    Subject., mostly in the phrase certe scio, I know to a certainty, I am sure (acc. to Klotz ad Cic. Sen. 1, 2, certe scio = certum est me scire, I am fully convinced: certo scio = certum est quod scio, my knowledge is accurate, etc.):
