Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [proːˈɡɛ.ni.eːs]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [proˈd͡ʒɛː.ni.es]
Noun
[edit]prōgeniēs f (genitive prōgeniēī); fifth declension
- race, family, progeny, lineage, descent
- 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Vergilius, Aeneis 1.19–20:
- Prōgeniem sed enim Trōiānō ā sanguine dūcī,
audierat, Tyriās ōlim quae verteret arcēs.- But indeed – From the blood of Troy was to issue a race of men,
[so] she had heard, [a people] which one day would overthrow this Tyrian citadel.
(The goddess Juno resented the descendants of Troy who would later found Rome, which one day would supersede her beloved Carthage; the Carthaginians had come from Tyre. Note: This usage of audierat is an abbreviated form of audiverat, “she had heard.”)
- But indeed – From the blood of Troy was to issue a race of men,
- Prōgeniem sed enim Trōiānō ā sanguine dūcī,
Usage notes
[edit]- In Classical Latin, only attested in the singular in the nominative, accusative and ablative cases. Quintilian gives it as an example of a word where the genitive singular is either nonexistent or sounds very unnatural.[1] Pacuvius is quoted by Aulus Gellius as using an alternative genitive singular form progeniī. There are a number of postclassical attestations of the form progeniēī, and a smaller number of postclassical attestations of the plural forms progeniērum and progeniēbus.

[edit]- ^ Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (c. 95 AD), Institutio Oratoria, 1.6.25-26:
- Quid vero quod, ut dicebam, similes positiones in longe diversas figuras per obliquos casus exeunt, ut 'virgo Iuno,' 'fusus lusus', 'cuspis puppis' et mille alia: cum illud etiam accidat, ut quaedam pluraliter non dicantur, quaedam contra singulari numero, quaedam casibus careant, quaedam a primis statim positionibus tota mutentur, ut 'Iuppiter'? Quod verbis etiam accidit, ut illi 'fero', cuius praeteritum perfectum et ulterius non invenitur. Nec plurimum refert nulla haec an praedura sint. Nam quid 'progenies' genetivo singulari, quid plurali 'spes' faciet?
