Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From aculeus + -ō(nis), with /ū/ taken from acūtus (“sharp”). Documented in the Reichenau Glossary.
The nominative singular would have ended in -ō in Classical Latin. The ending -ōnis reflects a Gallo-Romance remodelling according to other inflections, for instance the accusative singular -ōnem. Compare the nominative singular pedis, standing for Classical Latin pēs in the aforementioned glossary.
Noun[edit]
acūleōnis m (genitive acūleōnis); third declension (Early Medieval Latin)
