Inficias denial I go. That is, I deny. And this is only in the accusative plural, from inficior to deny. It is always joined with eo I go.

Inficiator denier is one who denies that he either owes what the actor plaintiff seeks, or that he has omitted what the accuser objects. From inficiari to deny.

Infinitivus infinitive, when it is in the accusative with ne or another joined verb, requires an understood meaning: truly, is it so? or, is it necessary? As in the case of me not being so harassed original: "me ne sic lacessitum veliste". Virgil: "Must I desist from my undertaking, conquered?" original: "Mene incepto desistere victam", that is, is it necessary?

Infra below denotes contiguity of place with the thing located: as, the stone is below the wall. It also denotes lack of contiguity: as, I am below the roof. It refers to the contempt of dignity: as, a learned man is below an unlearned man, because he is below the dignity of good men.

Intra within, however, is made for a circumscribed place, but is not contiguous with the thing located: as, I am within the walls of the city. It is also placed before a word signifying time or number: as, I will come to you within January, or within two months. Where infra is used for intra, it is spoken barbarously and not in Latin.

Instar likeness/degree should be used without a preposition. However, it is used for explaining, as in "this was done instar illius" in the manner of that, that is, after the fashion of that. And it is made more for equivalence, or measure, or manner, than for similarity.

And if a similarity is to be made, it should not be spoken through instar, but through another word. For it must not be said, "You speak instar Salomonis" like Solomon, but rather ad similitudinem to the likeness of, or in modo in the manner of, or tanquam Solomon as Solomon. Thus, one should not say "you speak instar patris" like your father, or "you sit instar languidi" like a sick man, but rather ad similitudinem.
