Vowel length[edit]

@Metaknowledge, can you check the recent change that removed the macron from the first i? The references offer different information. — Ungoliant (falai) 12:18, 29 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

The syllable is heavy in either case, so it can't be determined the usual way, hence the disagreement. Vox Latina cites Diomedes as evidence that the vowel here is indeed short. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:56, 29 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
