in (with accusative). But ☞ after verbs of placing, putting, setting, laying, etc. (ponere, locare, collocare, statuere, constituere) in mostly makes the ablative; but imponere (when it has not the dative after it of the place into which the thing is placed) and reponere mostly have in with accusative [imponere in navem, in naves, in plaustrum; reponere aliquid in aerarium, etc.] . Cic. has also anulum... in mari abjecerat: inserere is always in aliquid or alicui rei (collum in laqueum inserere; aliquid alicui in os inserere. Zumpt, p. 354, § 490, erroneously says in with ablative). So also defigere (to fix [asseres in terra; cultrum in corde]). After many verbs the preposition is not expressed in Latin; e.g., to enter into the city, ingredi urbem. The particular constructions will be found after the verbs which “into” follows; to come into, fall into, get into, etc., Vid: To look into one’s own heart, introspicere mentem suam ipsum (Cic.); percunctari ipsum se (Cic.); in sese descendere (Persius).
