25.12.

tolerarent: best regarded as a purpose clause like, 'nothing [for] to eat' (§ 531. 2 (317)), but referred by many grammarians to the 'characteristic' use of the relative (B. 283. 2; G. 631. 2; H. 591. 1 (503. i); H-B. 517. 2 and a). The two constructions, having grown up side by side in Latin, were very often confounded.
