+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [pɛrˈmaː.noː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [perˈmaː.no]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''permānō''' (present infinitive permānāre, perfect active permānāvī, supine permānātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|per-|mānō|t2=to flow, trickle]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan takes [[m|la|mānō]] as perhaps a verb made from a noun ⟨*māno-⟩, which he tentatively compares with [[sga|móin]] and [[cy|mawn|t=peat-bog, moss]]; no good root is available, so the connection remains isolated.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ In verse the TLL counts it twice in Plautus, once in Terence and nine times in Lucretius, and in prose from Cato on.^(TLL) A fragment of Plautus has a shower of love that soaked not only the clothing but flowed into the marrow.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Of liquids it is to flow through, seep or percolate: Lucretius has moisture seeping through rocks and caves and heat passing through silver.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) It is used too of physical forces and of feelings.^(OLD 2012) Of abstract things it is to spread or extend to: Cicero writes of nothing that could reach human life from the gods, and of the teaching of Pythagoras that seems to have flowed into the city.^(OLD 2012) Of a rumour or secret it is to leak out: in Plautus a trick must not become public, in Terence a matter must not reach a father, and in Caesar a report spreads from one source to many.^(OLD 2012) Apuleius uses it with an object, of hair flowing down over the back.^(OLD 2012)
