Latin fotmal

I can only find one attestation, viz. the text quoted on this page, which uses the ablative plural fotmallis. Given this, the lemma should be 'fotmallus or 'fotmallum, but I can't find any attestations of either. This might be a hapax legomenon; in such cases, what do we do?

fotmellum~fotmallum - the purpose of -all- instead of -āl- seems to be to unambiguously indicate penultimate stress. I think that whoever added the Latin lemma decided not to bother with Latin morphology, dictionaries or anything else. Brutal Russian (talk) 03:56, 26 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
