		A gerund is the verbal noun identical in form with any participle, simple or compound, that contains the termination -ing.
		The participle is an adjective, and should be in agreement with a noun or pronoun; the gerund is a noun, of which it should be possible to say clearly whether, and why, it is in the subjective, objective, or possessive case, as we can of other nouns.

	The Relation between Sanskrit and Indian Conceptions of Time
		The primacy of the noun is illustrated in the Sanskrit denominative, a category of verb not found in the classical grammar of the West.
		For example, the denominative putrlyati is formed from the noun putra (son) and means "to desire to have a son," and svamlyati, from the noun svamin (master) means "to regard as a master." Generally speaking, the denominative connotes the meaning of "to be.
		The centrality of the noun is further illustrated by the absence in Sanskrit of the adverbial suffix which is common to all Western languages.

	'It ... that.' Fowler, H. W. 1908. The King's English
		The main verb is also invariable in number, but in tense is usually adapted to past, though not (for euphony's sake) to future circumstances: 'it was you that looked foolish', but 'it is you that will look foolish'.
		The conjunction clause is, as we have said, a verbal noun; so far a noun that things can be predicated of it, and so far a verb that the things predicated of it are verbal relations and verbal circumstances, indirect object, agent, instrument, means, manner, cause, attendant circumstances; anything but subject and direct object.
		The confusion, however, ought not to arise; for always with a relative clause, and never with a conjunction, the complement of the main predicate (the answer to the suppressed question) is a noun or the grammatical equivalent of a noun.

		Just as a subjective noun refers to a thing that characteristically acts as the subject of a verb, so an objective noun refers to a thing that characteristically acts as the object.
		In English, a gerund is a verbal noun ending in “-ing”, not to be confused with a present participle.
		Sometimes, an objective noun is formed from a gerundive with a suffix other than the masculine singular “-us”, and when that happens, the suffix stays on even in English.

		Non-verbal nouns are not derived from verbs and they denote objects rather than events.

		As a noun, the gerund, like all nouns, is governed by other words in the sentence.
		The gerundive is a passive participle agreeing (like all adjectives) with a noun; the gerund is an active verbal noun.

	TERRA INCOGNITA Part II by Frank Gordon
		The addition of -ness(8) to the gerund having, and to the verbal adjective connected emphasizes their abstract noun character as substantives (concepts).
		In modern English grammar, the verbal noun in -ing has certain uses in which it performs the function of a substantive or abstract noun, while retaining verbal features of tense and voice.
		Thus, it is a verbal noun and can be viewed as either a verb or noun.

	Latin 506, Spring 1998/David Cramer
		Thus, the infinitive is used to express the concept of a verbal noun in the nominative case (and sometimes in the accusative: Volumus discere, although we usually think of this as a complementary infinitive).
		In form, the gerund is the same as the neuter of the future passive participle in the oblique cases (genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative--all but the nominative).
		Therefore, when the gerund would have an object in the accusative case, Latin prefers to put this noun (the one which would be the direct object) in the case in which the gerund would appear, and to use the gerundive, or future passive participle, in agreement with that noun:
