rail (subs.) Copy link
Outline
• rail (subs.):
    1. I. A cross-beam fixed on uprights:
      1. 1. longŭrius: Varr. R. R. 1, 14 (per foramina [palorum] trajectis longuriis binis aut ternis, i. e. a fence formed by posts placed at intervals, pierced to receive two or three rails). But longurius may be used of any longish pole or piece of wood.
      2. 2. *asser transversus [quales palorum foraminibus inseruntur] ad sepimentum faciendum.
    2. II. An upright, forming part of fence; usu. pl., rails or railing: pālus: Varr. R. R. l. c. Often sēpīmentum, sepes, may serve: more precisely, sepes ex palis statutis crebris, Varr. l. c. (Cancelli denotes cross- or lattice-work: v. grating.)
    3. III. Of a railway: perh. trabs ferrea, longurius ferreus.
    4. IV. A bird: *rallus: v. corn-crake.

Outline
• rail (v.):
    1. I. To enclose with a railing: Phr.: palis crebris statutis (or simply palis) sepire: cf. Varr. R. R. 1, 14. Usu., however, sepio, consepio, sepimento circumdare, will be precise enough: v. fence, to fence. (Cancelli = to mark with cross lines: Varr. 4, 2, med.)
    2. II. To abuse:
      1. 1. convīcior, 1 (esp. in a loud or violent manner: infreq.): to accuse rather than merely to r., accusare potius quam c., Liv. 42, 41, init.: Suet. Foll. by dat., Quint. 5, 13, 40. The same sense is usu. better expr. by corresponding subs. convīcium, with a verb:. e. g. to r. at any one, consectari aliquem conviciis, Cic. Att. 2, 18; facere convicia alicui, Ov. Pont. 2, 6, 7; jacere convicia alicui, id. Met. 5, 664; fundere convicia in aliquem, ib. 13, 306; ingerere convicia alicui, Hor. S. 1, 5, 11; convicio aliquem incessere, Gell. 9, 2.
      2. 2. mălĕdīco, xi, ctum, 3 (with dat., rarely with acc.); or expr. by maledictum and some verb; to r. at any one, maledicere alicui, Cic. N. D. 1, 33, 93; maledicta in aliquem dicere, id. Q. Fr. 2, 3; maledicta in aliquem conferre, id. Att. 11, 8: maledictis aliquem figere (rare), id. N. D. 1, 34, 93; aliquem probris omnibus maledictisque vexare, id. Fl. 20, 48.
      3. 3. insector, 1, dep.: to r. at any one, insectari aliquem, id. N. D. 1, 3, 5: to inveigh too bitterly and r. too violently against any one: acerbius in aliquem invehi, insectarique vehementius, id. Am. 16, 57: v. revile.
