語源 1

By analogy with nomina gentilicia of Oscan or perhaps Etruscan origin, such as Pompeius (from *pompe (“five”)), Tarpeius, Saufeius. Difficult to distinguish from Etymology 2. Gentilics ending in -eius may have originated from a Faliscan variant of this suffix, whereas -aius (as in Anaius, Popaius, Ulaius) may go back to Oscan, and -aeus (as in Annaeus) to Paelignian and Umbrian.

発音

• (Classical Latin) IPA: [ɛj.jʊs]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: [e.jus]
• Note: although the syllable is heavy due to the regularly geminate intervocalic /j/, the vowel is thought to have been short on etymological grounds.

発音

• (Classical Latin) IPA: /ˈei̯.i̯us/, [ˈɛi̯ːʊs̠]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /ˈe.jus/, [ˈɛːjus]
• The first syllable scans as heavy in Classical Latin verse. In accordance with this, some dictionaries and other linguistic resources mark the "E" in the first syllable with a length marker (ēius/ējus): however, there is no consensus that the vowel itself was long. Historically, some scholars have thought that the first syllable contained a long vowel /eː/ derived by monophthongization of an earlier diphthong [ei̯]. But the geminate consonant /jj/, which was regularly written with single "i" in Latin, would have rendered the preceding syllable heavy even if the vowel itself was short /e/. Compare peior and ieiūnus, and see the discussion of intervocalic -i- in Allen 1978:38-40. An alternative interpretation treats the first syllable as containing a diphthong /ei̯/; this is essentially equivalent to /ej/, as there is no contrast in Latin between vowel-consonant sequences ending in /j/ and diphthongs ending in i̯. (Cser 2016:31-37 discusses the question of the best phonemic analysis of so-called 'diphthongs' in Latin and concludes that it is preferable to analyze them all as vowel-consonant sequences such as /ej/.)
• An iambic pronunciation, /e.jus/ (with a light first syllable) may occur in Plautus.
