This week's LVD is somewhat a continuation of last week's, as the word "dito" was used in last week's sentence. This word is rather uncommon, though it is related to "dis, ditis" ('rich'), a much more common word. "Dito" does not occur on the syllabus, and only approximately a dozen times in Latin literature as a whole. Just a note--the English word "ditto" does not derive from "dito," despite the similarity of the word, but from "dictus" (by way of Italian's "detto") [1].
