clino

== Italian == === Noun === clino m (plural clini) (especially in combination) cline === Anagrams === cloni == Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *kleināō, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱley-, from *ḱel- (“to incline”) +‎ *-éyti (*éy-present suffix). Although clearly a nasal present, a nasal present of Proto-Indo-European date would be *ḱl̥-n-i-, which would not give the attested Latin form. According to De Vaan, the nasal present was re-formed as *ḱli-n- in pre-Italic, a change shared also by other Indo-European languages. The long vowel could be by analogy with the perfect, and may be of Italic date. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈkliː.noː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈkliː.no] === Verb === clīnō (present infinitive clīnāre, perfect active clīnāvī, supine clīnātum); first conjugation (rare, nonstandard except as past participle) to bend, incline 1st century BC, Titus Lucretius Carus; in: De rerum natura libri sex: quibus interpretationem et notas addidit Thomas Creech, collegii omnium animarum olim socius.

Bentleii, Oxonii, e typographeo Clarendoniano, 1818, page 85f.: ==== Usage notes ==== In Classical Latin, this is only found with certainty as a past participle clīnātus. Some older editions of classical texts seem to attest various inflected forms of this verb (clīnāre (Lucretius), clīnāvit (Petronius), ... ) which seem to have been corrected to different forms (prefixed, or to different words altogether) in modern editions. In New Latin, the word is very rarely found, possibly as a back-formation from the prefixed forms. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== clīvus ==== Descendants ==== === References === “clino”, in Charlton T.
