Talk:iusiurandum
Inflection
editIn Dvoretsky's Latin-Russian dictionary not only the second part, but also the first is being inflected: gen. iurisiurandi, nom. pl. iuraiuranda (source). If there is no source contradicting the inflection in Dvoretsky's dictionary, I suggest the inflection be rectified. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 10:28, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

For the inflection. The genitive could be *iūrisiurandi, cp. respublica and Talk:iusiurandum#Inflection. In New Latin texts iurisiurandi and jurisjurandi do occur as well as iusiurandi, but are not necessarily inflected forms of iusiurandum. If they are forms of iusiurandum, iusiurandi could be incorrect or less correct. -80.133.102.215 03:57, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- L&S gives some references for inflection with "jurisjurandi" etc. In not-so-good editions which use i for the consonant j it does appear as "iurisiurandi" etc. (eg. The institutio oratoria of Quintilian with an English translation by H. E. Butler, vol. II, 1921, in V, VI). So this form is attested.
In Seyfert's grammar (from 1800) "jusjurandi" and "jusjurando" are mentioned with refs. However, he says that it were changed in some editions and in the texts at thelatinlibrary none of the given refs has "jusjurandi" or "iusiurandi" etc. He furthermore explains the etymology like this: jusjurandum isn't derived from jus (law, right) but is related to Jovis (the god Jupiter, or the genitive thereof) and would be the same as Jovisjurandum (dictionaries have this word but it might be doubtful, and BTW, jurandum in Plautus' Cistellaria is doubtful).
BTW: rosmarinus has a later declension with genitive rosmarini and olusatrum (from olus) has genitive olusatri. -84.161.18.82 01:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)- It's now cited as a medieval declension. As a Classical or Late Latin declension, other cites would be needed.
- By the way, P. Stotz states that ancient Latin had "iusiurandi" and "iusiurando": "... ius iurandum ,Eid` ist allmählich zu einem kompakten Ausdruck zusammengerückt. Vom Rhetor Seneca an sind Flexionsformen iusiurandi und iusiurando belegt. Im MA ... erscheint ein Verbum iusiurare ,schwören`." (Peter Stotz, Handbuch zur lateinischen Sprache des Mittelalters. Zweiter Band: Bedeutungswandel und Wortbildung, p. 482). But he doesn't give any source or ref. The texts of Seneca at thelatinlibrary don't have these forms, and google books hadn't any either when searching for e.g. "nemo iusiurando" (changed from "nemo iure iurando") or "cum iusiurandi vim" (changed from "cum iuris iurandi vim") or the same but with j. Maybe Stotz meant "Since the time of Seneca the rhetor" (i.e. 'since 1st century BC-AD') instead of "Since Seneca the rhetor" (meaning 'Seneca himself and later people used the forms'), or maybe he he meant the type of inflection in general which could be attested by another word like rosmarinus. -84.161.40.29 19:14, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
