Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From plēbēs (“the common people”) (archaic form of plēbs) + -ius, alternatively analyzable as plēbs + -ēius.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (tetrasyllabic, Graecizing) (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /pleːˈbeː.i.us/, [pɫ̪eːˈbeːiʊs̠]
- (trisyllabic, ordinary) (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /pleːˈbeː.i̯us/, [pɫ̪eːˈbeːi̯ʊs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /pleˈbe.jus/, [pleˈbɛːjus]
Note: the long vowel /eː/ before the consonantal /i̯/ of the suffix is due to plēbēs being an ē-stem, differently from e.g. Pompeius.
Adjective
[edit]plēbēius (feminine plēbēia, neuter plēbēium); first/second-declension adjective
Declension
[edit]First/second-declension adjective.
