Adolenda, Commolenda, Deferunda, and Coinquenda

Adolenda, Commolenda, Deferunda, and Coinquenda were four Roman goddesses whose names were preserved in the Acta Arvalia. They were to be invoked for a piaculum, a propitiation conducted in advance of destroying a tree. Two sheep were the prescribed piaculum for each goddess. Their names take the form of Latin gerundives: They are included by W.H. Roscher among the indigitamenta, the lists of Roman deities maintained by priests to assure that the correct divinity was invoked in public rituals. What appears to be a gerundive form would be unusual, though not unique to these four goddesses. Most theonyms formed from verbs are active or agent nouns, indicating that the deity was thought to enable or perform the action.
 * Adolenda, in reference to burning a tree
