However, Weiss dismisses any connections to semen as semantically implausible, since there is no evidence connecting the god with seeds. Osthoff and Weiss independently propose an alternative derivation from Proto-Indo-European *seǵʰ-ó- (“powerful”) (via Proto-Italic *Seɣomō) linking Semo to Segomo (from Proto-Celtic *Segomū), a Celtic god, instead. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈseː.moː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈsɛː.mo] === Proper noun === Sēmō m sg (genitive Sēmōnis); third declension (Old Latin) an ancient god An epithet of Sancus ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun, singular only. === References === === Further reading === “Semo”, in Charlton T.
