iuvencus

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *juwenkos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yuHn̥ḱós, equivalent to iuvenis +‎ -cus. De Vaan suggests that Latin -enc- instead of -inc- is explainable either as a Sabellicism or as the result of analogical remodeling after iuvenis or iuventus. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [jʊˈwɛŋ.kʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [juˈvɛŋ.kus] === Adjective === iuvencus (feminine iuvenca, neuter iuvencum); first/second-declension adjective (very rare, of domesticated animals) young ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== iuvenculus === Noun === iuvencus m (genitive iuvencī); second declension bullock a young man ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun. ==== Descendants ==== === References === “juvencus”, in Charlton T.
