4. suscipere seems not actually to have the sense ‘conceive’ as concipere clearly has; nevertheless, here it clearly must refer to the notion of Dido ‘having a child’ (cf. OLD s.v. 4b) though it is, to say the least, unhelpful to Dr Lyne's case that Virgil has chosen to use a different compound in each case.
