Three-termination

edit

Zumpt says month names don't occur in the neuter: "Note 2. The names of the months, September, October, November, December, also belong to this class of adjectives. As adjectives, however, they are defective, since the neuter never occurs, and the masculine and feminine scarcely in any other connection than with mensis (masc.), Calendae, Nonae, and Idus. Horace uses libertate Decembri."

The only form in "-embre" I see in PHI is in Festus, "mense Decembre".

No Octobre. We do find "mense Octobri".

Postclassical "mense Octobre": https://books.google.com/books?id=F85BAQAAMAAJ&pg=PP55&dq=%22Octobre%22+%22quae%22&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiX7435hJWIAxWwHDQIHUioGLEQ6AF6BAgJEAI#v=onepage&q=%22Octobre%22%20%22quae%22&f=false

bellatrix? agitatrix

Adjectives like victrīx: The feminine ablative singular may end in -trīcī or -trīce and the feminine/neuter genitive plural may end in -trīcium (-trīcum seems rarer and may be only attested as a feminine form, but I'm not sure). [1]

    Therefore in the case of one who died onboard, then was thrown into the sea, P. Mucius decreed the family pure, because the bones did not stand above the earth; a sow was required of his heir, and to have three days' holiday and [to sacrifice] a female pig

Feminine adjectives: anus, fēmina, virgō?

Priscian says on the genitive plural:

  • reperiuntur praeterea absque i facientia genetiuum pluralem, quamuis ablatiuum et in e et in i proferant, in "us" et in "il" et in "or" trium generum et in "ex" desinentia, quando sunt communis generis, ut hic et haec et hoc uetus a uetere uel ueteri ueterum (Virgilius in V:

«ueterum non inmemor ille parentum»), uigil ab hoc et ab hac uigile uel uigili horum et harum uigilum.

  • similiter memor a memore uel memori horum et harum memorum (Horatius in II sermonum:

«nam quamuis memori referas mihi pectore cuncta». raro tamen inuenitur in e terminans huius nominis ablatiuus, nec aliam esse causam existimo, ut supra dictum est, nisi eam, quod apud antiquos hic et haec memoris et hoc memore proferebatur. in quo testis est Caper, antiquitatis doctissimus inquisitor. ostendit enim, Caecilium in epiclero sic protulisse: «itane Antipho † inuentus profluuia fide? / itane est inmemoris, itane est madida memoria?». nec mirum, cum et hic celer et hic celeris, et hic concors et hic concordis
