The same scholars, however, when
asked why aper became apri in the genitive, but pater
patris, asserted that aper was an absolute, pater
a relative noun. Further since both words derive
from the Greek, they took refuge in the fact
[p. 119]
that πατρός provides a parallel to patris and κάπρου
to apri.
