形容詞

parvus (feminine parva, neuter parvum, 比較級 minor, 最上級 minimus); first/second-declension adjective

1. small, little, puny.
   • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 6.205-208:

     prōspicit ā templō summum brevis ārea Circum,
     est ibi nōn parvae parva columna notae:
     hinc solet hastā manū bellī praenūntia mittī,
     in rēgem et gentēs cum placet arma cāpī.

     Visible from the temple [is] a short open space, [and] the summit of the Circus [Maximus]. There [stands] a small column of no small renown: From this place the custom is to hurl by hand a spear, foretelling of war against a king and his people, [when] it is proper [that] with arms [they are] to be taken.
     (With a symbolic hurling of a spear – originally into enemy territory, later within Rome itself – a fetial gave formal declaration of war.)

   Synonym: minutus

   Antonyms: grandis, magnus, adaequātus

2. cheap, petty, trifling, ignorable, unimportant.
