In gen., to let, suffer, allow, permit, give leave (syn.: permitto, patior, tolero, fero); constr. usually with an obj.-clause, the subj., or absol., rarely with ut or an acc.

Absol. (syn.: pati, ferre);

Ov. M. 13, 219; 7, 174.—Sometimes the acc. is used elliptically, as in Engl., and an inf. (to be, remain, do, go, etc.) is to be supplied: Sy. Sineres vero tu illum tuum Facere haec? De. Sinerem illum! Ter. Ad. 3, 3, 42:

dum interea sic sit, istuc actutum sino,

Plaut. As. 5, 2, 50 Fleck.—

Rarely like the Greek ean, to give up, cease, leave a thing undone: Al. Vin vocem? Cl. Sine:

nolo, si occupata est,

Plaut. Cas. 3, 2, 14: tum certare odiis, tum res rapuisse licebit. Nunc sinite (sc. certare, etc.), forbear, Verg A. 10, 15.—

Ne di sirint (sinant), ne Juppiter sirit, etc., God forbid! Heaven forefend! Ch. Hoc capital facis... aequalem et sodalem liberum civem enicas. Eu. Ne di sirint, Plaut. Merc. 3, 4, 28; id. Bacch. 3, 3, 64;
