Latin
[edit]Noun
[edit]lix
- (dubious) Alternative form of lixa (“lye; water”).
- Nonius Marcellus, De compendiosa doctrina 62.11:[1]
- Lixarum proprietas haec est, quod officium sustineant militibus aquae vehendae; lixam namque aquam veteres vocaverunt; unde elixum dicimus aqua coctum. Lix[a] etiam cinis dicitur vel umor cineri mixtus; nam etiamnunc id genus lexivum vocatur.
Usage notes
[edit]Lindsay 1891, citing Onions, argues that the manuscripts' "lix etiam" is merely a corruption of "lixaetiam", i.e. "lixa etiam".[2]
