linteus

== Latin == === Etymology === Related to līnum (“linen”), but cannot be derived from it due to the short /i/ and /t/. This phonological discrepancy suggests the existence of a noun derived from Old Latin *lintum or derived on an earlier stage, e. g. from Proto-Italic *lintom. Ultimately a probable borrowing. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈlɪn.te.ʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈlin.te.us] === Adjective === linteus (feminine lintea, neuter linteum); first/second-declension adjective (relational) linen Synonym: līneus ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== linteum === References === “linteus”, in Charlton T.
