Latin Grammar: fio

Sed nichilum nullam proprietatem habet, in qua subsistat, et ideo nichil est; unde etiam aliae creaturae, quae uoluntate sua se nichilo coniungunt, proprietates suas perdunt et ad nicihilum fiunt. Firmamentum autem ignem, solem, lunam, stellas et uentos habet, per quae omnia consistit et quorum proprietatibus firmatur, ne dissipetur.
