Nb: potior, a 4th conjugation intransitive verb takes an object in the Ablative Case:
Provinci potiti sunt. They gained possession of the province.
Occasionally it will take a Genitive object. It always does so in the phrase:
rerum potiri: to get control of affairs
Recall aggredior (advance) and compare its composition and meaning with gredior.
Juro means to take an oath; con adds the idea of together. When men form a conspiracy or plot
together, they bind themselves to secrecy; hence, conjuro, conspire.
