Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Is the second element of the compound from the Latin third-declension noun? And if I can ask more than one question assuming the answer to the first is "yes," did that noun begin in r?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Is the second element derived from a Latin first-declension noun?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
I'll ask just in case… was the second element feminine in Latin?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
The first element could be masculine or feminine.
Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
To clarify, you mean that this is one word that, in Classical Latin, is sometimes attested as masculine, and other times is attested as feminine?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Correct, and there was apparently a semantic difference depending on the gender. It falls under what is sometimes referred to as the “common” gender.shimobaatar wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018 04:12To clarify, you mean that this is one word that, in Classical Latin, is sometimes attested as masculine, and other times is attested as feminine?
Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Was the nominative singular form of the first noun two syllables in Classical Latin?
