No Lewis & Short entry is filed under this headword. The morphology above stands on its own — the two sources are joined by exact headword and nothing else.
Ambiguity is kept
Every structurally valid lemma-analysis pair is shown. Nothing is silently collapsed to a single preferred parse.
Ordering is not judgment
Candidates are ordered by Collatinus lemma frequency from the LASLA corpus — classical counts, not Ecclesiastical or Vulgate measurements.
Spelling is normalized
æ → ae, œ → oe, j → i, v → u, and vowel-quantity marks are stripped before lookup. The form you typed is preserved above.
