sequebamini

Sequebamini is the second-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Latin deponent verb sequor, sequi, secutus sum. Sequor belongs to the deponent group of the third conjugation and means “to follow.” Deponent verbs have passive morphology but active meaning; thus sequebamini translates as “you were following” or “you used to follow.” The imperfect forms for this verb are sequebar, sequebaris, sequebatur, sequebamur, sequebamini, sequebantur. The principal parts are sequor, sequi, secutus sum, which provide the present, the present infinitive, and the perfect participle used with sum to form the perfect system. As a deponent verb, sequebamini carries a passive form with active meaning and thus does not appear with active-voice endings in its tenses.

In broader Latin grammar, sequor and its compounds form part of the class of deponent verbs thatoften express actions in the sense of following, pursuing, or accompanying, depending on context. Sequebamini specifically marks a past, ongoing action addressed to “you (plural)” and is encountered in classical Latin texts when describing a sequence of events in which the subjects were following something or someone over a period of time.

Summary: sequebamini is a standard deponent imperfect form meaning “you were following,” illustrating how deponent verbs use passive morphology to convey active meaning. It derives from the principal parts sequor, sequi, secutus sum, and shares its conjugation patterns with other deponent verbs in Latin.
