Medieval Latin[edit]
Huyur[edit]
This is the form used by Giovanni da Pian del Carpine.
Definition[edit]
Huyur m
- a/n Uighur
Declension[edit]
Second-declension noun (nominative singular in -r).
| Case | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | Huyur | Huyrī |
| Genitive | Huyrī | Huyrōrum |
| Dative | Huyrō | Huyrīs |
| Accusative | Huyrum | Huyrōs |
| Ablative | Huyrō | Huyrīs |
| Vocative | Huyur | Huyrī |
Apparently, this was how Giovanni could have intended to inflect the noun. In an MS the misprint form *Huynorum (?) could be seen, whose occurrences were faithfully back-formed into Huini in the English text by Richard Hakluyt.
