3. In the form of.

   I bought you a new toy as a special treat.

In traditional standard English as (like than) is a conjunction, not a preposition. The use of pronominal case forms (subject vs. object) therefore depends on the syntactical context. Compare:

• She loves you just as much as I [do].
• She loves you just as much as [she loves] me.

In modern everyday English, this difference may be lost and the use of bare subject forms (I, he, she, we, they) after as may seem pedantic. Only the object forms are used on their own.

• Nicole Nau (2011), A short grammar of Latgalian, München: LINCOM GmbH, →ISBN, page 35

• assis
• 𐆚 (symbol)

Probably borrowed from Etruscan: compare lībra and nummus, also loanwords. Original meaning was 'a rectangular bronze plaque weighing a pound'.

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈas]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈas]
• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈas.s] (before a vowel)
• Note: the word is singularly and unreliably attested in poetry,^[1] but together with its derivatives usually measures long. It's more likely that it retained the geminate consonant before a vowel than that the vowel itself was lengthened. Most recent dictionaries give it as short, but EDL and certain other etymologists^[2] as long; compare far.

as m (genitive assis); third declension

1. as; a Roman coin originally made of bronze and weighing one pound, but later made of copper and reduced to two ounces, one ounce, and eventually half an ounce.
   1. a penny, a copper (any coin of similarly low value)
2. pound as a unit of weight
3. any undivided unit of measurement
   1. (with ex) a whole estate
4. a circular flap or valve
5. any circular object; a slice, disk (also of the moon)

It is especially significant as being the coin of least value in the Classical age; as such it was often used in poetry as representative of the idea of worthlessness. This is seen in examples such as Vivamus atque amemus, where Catullus mentions "valuing opinions of old men at a single as", or Martial's Asse cicer tepidum constant et asse Venus, where he mocks that "your warm pea soup costs you a penny, your sex the same amount". Two and a half asses equalled a single sesterce.

• The genitive plural is normally assium, but assum is found in Varro.
