[[iuxta]]

@CodeCat: Regarding your comment "Badly formatted, again":

Well, you first simply stated "Badly formatted". You never told me why you thought it was badly formatted and back then you didn't format it in another way or told me how to format it in a better way. Now you changed it, thanks. But in my defence, the template Template:la-adv does not mention the parameter "|head2=". Well, Template:R:Gaffiot does not mention any parameters too (though luckily there is Template:R:L&S), but you can't expect that other users guess correct parameters when the documentation is missing, incomplete or even incorrect.

@JohnC5: There are Pons, Georges, "FriezeDennisonVergil" and "Lewis", maybe Stowasser (cf. de:iuxta which earlier just had "iūxtā" and "Der kleine Stowasser" as reference). "Lewis" maybe got replaced by Lewis and Short and I don't know good "FriezeDennisonVergil" is, but Georges, Pons and Stowasser are quite famous names. Also Georges, Pons and Stowasser are younger than Lewis and Shorts, so they could be more correct. However, there are also modern dictionaries which have a short u (namely Langenscheidt's small pocket dictionary).

FWIW, etymologically it looks like ū should be expected but French joste indicates that at least in Proto-Romance it was (probably) short (not necessarily in Classical Latin, cf. French annoncer < ad + nūntiāre with long ū). Also, some modern dictionaries appear to leave out long marks before two consonants so the short u in Langenscheidt might not be probative.
