heries

== Latin == === Etymology === Uncertain. It is likely a deverbal suffixed with -iēs (compare faciēs, speciēs), though the vocalism of the term is incongruent with horior. Nussbaum suggests that the term is likely borrowed from Oscan heriam, which—like horior—is from the root *gʰer-. According to this theory, the -ia of the Oscan term was replaced by -iēs. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈhɛ.ri.eːs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɛː.ri.es] === Noun === heriēs f (genitive heriēī); fifth declension (dialectal) The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include: some attribute associated with Juno ==== Usage notes ==== According to Nussbaum, the term is probably dialectal. ==== Declension ==== Fifth-declension noun. === References === Alan J.
