ianitrix

== Latin == === Alternative forms === jā̆nitrīx === Etymology === From *iā̆niter +‎ -trīx, apparently as a hypercorrection for *ieniter (from other shifts such as iānuārius > ienuārius), from Proto-Italic *ienatēr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁yénh₂tēr. Cognates include Ancient Greek ἐνάτηρ (enátēr), Sanskrit यातृ (yātṛ), Old Armenian ներ (ner) and Old Church Slavonic ꙗтрꙑ (jatry). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈjaː.nɪ.triːks], [ˈja.nɪ.triːks] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈjaː.ni.triks] === Noun === iā̆nitrīx f (genitive iā̆nitrīcis); third declension co-sister-in-law (husband's brother's wife) ==== Usage notes ==== Only attested in Late Latin glosses, so the vowel length in the first syllable is not known. ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun. === References === “jānĭtrīces”, in Charlton T.
