comatus

== Latin == === Etymology === From coma (“hair”). Can be analyzed as the perfect passive participle of a first-conjugation verb *comō (“to be furnished with hair”), but only this perfect participle form and the present active participle form comāns are attested in Classical Latin, and post-classical uses of other verb forms are rare. Instead of a participle, this form could be analyzed as an adjective formed directly from the noun as coma +‎ -ātus (“-ed”). === Participle === comātus (feminine comāta, neuter comātum); first/second-declension participle having long hair leafy ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. === References === “comatus”, in Charlton T. Lewis and Charles Short (1879), A Latin Dictionary, Oxford: Clarendon Press "comatus", in Charles du Fresne du Cange, Glossarium Mediæ et Infimæ Latinitatis (augmented edition with additions by D. P.
