Hebes—hebetis, just like mīlitis, segetis, comitis, teretis; and all which end in a short es end in the syllable tis in the genitive, except for the nouns residis, obsidis, dēsidis, because they are derived from a verb.Caecilius Statius says hebem in Hypobolimaeus: the facts will suddenly render him dull.

Spencer In three volumes III, 1961, page 304 and the following (the text of an older reprint online: Celsus: De Medicina) Idem prōcēdente cūrātiōne ēruptiō sanguinis, aut sī, antequam sinus carne impleatur, ōrae carnosae fīunt, illa quoque ipsa carne hebete nec firma. Again, bad signs in the course of the treatment are: haemorrhage, or if the margins become fleshy before the sinus has been filled up by flesh, and this flesh is insensitive and not firm. ==== Synonyms ==== (obtuse): obēsus, pinguis ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → English: hebete (learned) → French: hébété (learned) → Italian: ebete (learned) Sicilian: èviti, èbbiti === References === “hebes”, in Charlton T.
