dējĕro, āvi, ātum (the later form de-jūro, found in many edd., is now retained only in 1, v. n.dejuro, with shortened rad. vowel; cf. Corss. Ausspr. 2, 203,

Gell. 1, 3, 20; 11, 6, 1),

I to take an oath, to swear (ante- and post-class.): per omnes deos et deas dejeravit, Plaut. Cas. 3, 5, 37; id. Rud. 5, 2, 40; Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 39; id. Hec. 5, 2, 5; Varr. L.
