使用する際の注意点

Derivatives of first-conjugation verbs end in -āmen and derivatives of fourth-conjugation verbs end in -īmen:

‎lībrō, lībrāre (“to balance, poise”) (present stem lībrā-) + ‎-men → ‎lībrāmen (“balance, poise”)

‎mūniō, mūnīre (“to fortify”) (present stem mūnī-) + ‎-men → ‎mūnīmen (“defense, fortification”)

Derivatives of second- and third-conjugation verbs show more complicated formations depending on the stem involved:

‎augeō, augēre (“to increase, enlarge”) + ‎-men → ‎augmen (“increase, growth”)

‎acuō, acuere (“to sharpen”) + ‎-men → ‎acūmen (“sharpened point”)

There are also some derivatives from nouns or adjectives, which show variable formation: some end in -āmen (such as linteāmen, oleāmen, pinguāmen from linteum, oleum, pinguis) while others end in -ūmen (such as albūmen, caldūmen from albus, caldus).

Compare the related suffix -mentum; for some nouns ending in -men, there is a corresponding noun ending in -mentum with a similar meaning, such as vēlāmen (“covering”) and vēlāmentum (“covering”).
