The modifying word or group of words may itself be modified in the same way.
a. A Single modifying word may be an adjective, an adverb, an appositive (§ 282), or the oblique case of a noun.
Thus in the sentence vir fortis patienter fert, a brave man endures patiently, the adjective fortis, brave, modifies the subject vir, man, and the adverb patienter, patiently, modifies the predicate fert, endures.
b. The modlfying word is in some cases said to limit the word to which it belongs.
Thus in the sentence puerí patrem videó, I see the boy's father, the genitive puerí limits patrem (by excluding any other father).
