How do you know that "abutere" is in the Future? I know the conjugation of this Deponent Verb in the Future Tense (abutar, abuteris, abutetur, abutemur, abutemini, abutentur), but none of those forms are exactly "abutere" - is this an archaic form?
Thank you!

[@LatinPerDiem]

Abutere is not an archaic form, but an alternative spelling of abuteris. Thanks for watching.

@@LatinPerDiem Thank you! That word stumped me and made it difficult to translate this sentence, but now that makes sense!

@@tomharrison6372 Great question, thanks for being such a careful scholar. It is grammatically incorrect because abutere is from abutor, a deponent verb that has no active forms. So the infinitive is abuti: logeion.uchicago.edu/abutor
