Thanks, Unka. Since my subject line was in Latin, I should have written
"a Claudio Pavur...." [ Egger habet "Nomen ductum est ab adi. claudus,
-a, -um, de cuius origine non consentiunt eruditi (fortasse derivatur a
clavidus, h. e. quasi clavi praepeditus). In Mart. Rom. nomen pluries
occurrit.]

One might wonder whether any other human language can rival English's
capacity for extravagant collocations of particles, as in the following
ditty by American linguist Morris Bishop -

I lately dropped a preposition;
It fell, I thought, beneath my chair.
Annoyed, I quickly cried, "Perdition!
Come up from out of in under there."
Correctness is my vade mecum,
And loose constructions I abhor;
But then I thought, But what should
he come up from out of in under for?

Good one! It's vaguely reminiscent of that famous tag: Semper ubi sub ubi.

I would make the fifth line less latinate ( homoeoteleutoni causa):
Correctness is my livelihood.... e.q.s.
