Talk:moene

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

As a humble latinist, I'm of the opinion that the plural of the neuter noun 'moene' should be 'moenia' like triste would be tristia or mare 'maria'.

This seems confusing as 'moenia' clearly appears as a plural form to some unstated neuter noun (my suspicion is that it's moene).

Please review whether the nominative, accusative and vocative plurals of moene should be moena.

Thank you. — This unsigned comment was added by 82.1.104.197 (talk).

Thanks for the ping. Moenia is indeed the correct plural and is a plurale tantum to boot. I just checked L&S, who report that the singular moene was used by Ennius (i.e. Old Latin). I will clean it up accordingly. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:45, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
