E.g., posse, licet

page 421 note 3 The question quid agis? is another that illustrates the working of these same elements. No one mistakes the literal quid agis? (as seen in Cic. in Cat. I. 11. 27) for the quid agis? of greeting, though Plautus continually puns on the double meaning. It is interesting to note further, that in Cicero's Orations quid ago? is allowed once (p. Quinct. 16. 53); quid agam? occurs three or four times.
