1. genitive plural ending

使用する際の注意点

Latin genitive plural forms take the ending -um either by itself or with additional preceding material (generally determined by the word's conjugation class). First and second declension nouns and adjectives usually have genitive plural forms ending in -ārum and -ōrum, but in some contexts take the short ending -um (without preceding -ār-/-ōr-) instead: this is common with words denoting weights, measures and monetary value and with distributive numerals.^[1][2]

• second declension words with genitive plurals in -um:
  • distributive numerals
  • names of weights and measures: dēnārius, medimnum, nummus, sēstertius, stadium, talentum
  • deus and dīvus (the latter having the archaic genitive 複数形 form divom with O due to the preceding V)
  • various other words, especially in poetry
• first declension words with genitive plurals in -um:
  • the measure words and amphora and drachma (less frequently than drachmarum)
  • in dactylic verse, compounds of -cola and -gena
  • some masculine Greek proper nouns, such as patronymics

In New Latin texts, the genitive plural suffix -um was formerly often spelled with an accent as -ûm when it appears in place of -ōrum or -ārum (as in deûm または amphorûm). This circumflexed spelling appears to have been motivated by the reinterpretation of the ending as a contraction of -ōrum/-ārum, leading to the assumption that the final syllable in forms like amphorum contained a long vowel. For the same reason, it can be found spelled as -ūm in some sources that use macrons to mark long vowels, such as Lewis and Short's Latin Dictionary. However, this interpretation is outdated: according to modern etymological understanding, all Latin words ending in -um, regardless of which declension they belong to, had a short vowel in the final syllable in Classical Latin pronunciation^[3].

Other factors that may have contributed to the use of the spelling -ûm are influence from the spelling of Greek genitive plural forms ending in -ῶν or desire to disambiguate genitive plural forms from accusative singular forms which would otherwise be spelled the same.
