adagium

The word-internal a may be either by the same vowel harmony as in alacer, calamitās, segetis, or else means the vowel is long - cf. indāgō, contāgiō/contāgēs, as well as the fact that Varro associates it with ambāgiō, a variant of ambāgēs (“circumlocution”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [aˈdaː.ɡi.ũː], [aˈda.ɡi.ũː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [aˈdaː.d͡ʒi.um] Note: the length of the vowel is unattested. === Noun === adā̆gium n (genitive adā̆giī or adā̆gī); second declension proverb, adage ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (neuter). 1Found in older Latin (until the Augustan Age). ==== Synonyms ==== adā̆giō ==== Related terms ==== (possibly) prōdigium ==== Descendants ==== → English: adagium → English: adage → French: adage → Italian: adagio → Portuguese: adágio → Romanian: adagiu → Spanish: adagio === References === === Further reading === “ădăgĭum”, in Charlton T.
