So Naples is far more Hellenic in dialect, lore, song and gesture than these regions, which are still rich in pure latinisms of speech, such as surgere (to arise); scitare (excitare -- to arouse); è (est -- yes); fetare (foetare); trasete (transitus -- passage of quails); titillare (to tickle); craje (cras -- to-morrow); pastena (a plantation of young vines; Ulpian has "pastinum instituere").
