Latin hyponyms[edit]

In [books.google.de/books?id=gSZDMAna4iEC&pg=PP10] (Latin, 20th century) there are the abbreviations: "sent. - sententia (...nom. : nominalis, ...rel. : relativa, ...circumst.: circumstantialis)". That could be: sententia nominalis = nominal clause or nominal sentence, sententia relativa = relative clause, sententia circumstantialis = adverbial clause. Are these suggestions right and are the Latin words not uncommon? -IP, 17:54, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

  • [la.wikibooks.org/wiki/Grammatica_Latina/Sententiae_relativae] (+ the external link) - There it is "sententia relativa = Relativsatz = relative clause". Also [la.wikibooks.org/wiki/Grammatica_Latina/Sententiae_conditionales] should lead to "sententia conditionalis = conditional clause".
  • [books.google.de/books?id=TlFgAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA388 -- Thomas Lediard: Grammatica anglicana critica, Oder Versuch Zu einer vollkommenen Grammatic Der Englischen Sprache, 1726, p.388]: "[..] Sententia relativa [..]: You are angry with every one, who has any more understanding than your self [...] He, who with any Industry". So the Latin terms could be older and common enough to be mentioned.
