Note 1 — V. Human Life; its various Relations and Conditions

H. W. (Henry William) Auden translation

vocare helps to form several phrases—e.g. in invidiam, in suspicionem, in dubium, ad exitium, in periculum vocare. It is used in the passive to express periphrastically the passive of verbs which have only an active voice—e.g. in invidiam vocari, to become unpopular, be hated, invideor not being used. Cf. in invidiam venire.
