coxendix

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *koksednī-k-, from Proto-Indo-European *koḱse-dn-iH. According to Pinault, related to Tocharian A kapśañi and Tocharian B kektseñe (“body”), from Proto-Indo-European *koksedon. Coxendīx may then represent a feminine derivative *kokse-dn-ih₂. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *koḱs-, whence Latin coxa (“hip”). Cognate with Sanskrit कक्ष (kakṣa, “armpit”), Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬱𐬀 (kaša, “armpit”), Tocharian B kakse (“midriff loins”) and Old Irish cos (“foot”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [kɔkˈsɛn.diːks] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [kokˈsɛn.diks] Ouside very fragmented instances, the word is attested in poetry once in Plautus, requiring a long -ī- (see quotation). Some dictionaries (e.g. Lewis & Short and the Gaffiot 2016) may be wrong in reporting this word with short -i-. === Noun === coxendīx f (genitive coxendīcis); third declension (anatomy) hip, hipbone Synonyms: coxa, (Grecian) ischion ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun. === References === === Further reading === “coxendix”, in Charlton T.
