Latin has a number of enclitic particles, so called because they cannot stand alone but rather attach themselves to other words (Greek enklinein, "to lean on"). -Ve is one of these. It is translated "or". It is found attached to words that would otherwise be preceded by one of the independent words for "or", vel or aut. For example:
- puer hic unde est? quisve huc attulit? (Terence) - "Where is this boy from? Or who has brought him here?" (quisve = "or who")
- telum tormentumve (Caesar) - "a missile or a missile launcher" (tormentumve = "or a missile launcher")
Sometimes -ve is also attached to the first item as well, in which case it means "either":
- nec quod fuimusve sumusve, cras erimus (Ovid) - "Nor will we be tomorrow what we either have been or are now" (fuimusve = "either we have been")
Other enclitic particles in Latin are -que, meaning "and", and -ne, which is attached to a salient word in a sentence (usually the first word) to turn the sentence into a question.
