lixula

== Latin == === Etymology === Possibly from lixa +‎ -ula (diminutive suffix); Nonius claims that lixa was an archaic term for water. The root may be shared with ēlixus. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈlɪk.sʊ.ɫa] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈlik.su.la] === Noun === lixula f (genitive lixulae); first declension (dialectal) round pancake made of flour, cheese and water ==== Usage notes ==== The term was likely used in the dialect of Latin spoken by the Sabines. Varro claims that this term was Sabine, although it is unlikely that Varro was referring to the pre-Roman Sabines; instead, he may have been describing a contemporary Sabine dialect. ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. ==== Related terms ==== similixula === References === Annie Cecilia Burman (24 March 2018), De Lingua Sabina: A Reappraisal of the Sabine Glosses‎[1], →DOI, page 49 “lixulae”, in Charlton T.
