== Latin == === Etymology === From Ancient Greek Κυκλάς (Kuklás), from κύκλος (kúklos, “circle, ring”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈky.kɫas] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈt͡ʃiː.klas] === Proper noun === Cyclas f (genitive Cyclados); third declension (chiefly in the plural) One of the Cyclades; an individual island belonging to the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun (Greek-type, normal variant). ==== Usage notes ==== An ablative singular form Cycladi is attested in Vitruvius 7.7.3, where it acts adjectivally or appositively to modify insula. A first-declension accusative singular variant Cycladam is exceptionally recorded in the late commentary of Pomponius Porphyrion glossing the greek plural in Horace's Odes. ==== Related terms ==== Cyclades ==== References ==== “Cyclas”, in Charlton T.
