使用する際の注意点

• The most frequent form by far is the ablative singular gelū, which is ambiguous in gender and can equally be taken as a form of masculine fourth-declension gelus. Other forms have either limited or no attestation in ancient texts:
  • The nominative/accusative/vocative singular is attested in the first-century poem Nux (possibly by Ovid, alternatively by a Pseudo-Ovid). Additional attestations occur in Late Latin, Medieval Latin and New Latin.
  • The rare genitive singular gelūs is shared with masculine gelus.
  • The dative singular is unattested (aside from a few rare examples in New Latin).
• The gender and inflection are discussed by some Late Latin grammarians:
  • Charisius describes it as a 4th-declension neuter noun with a single case ending in the singular (monoptote), and considers such nouns to end in the letter -⟨u⟩ in the nominative and in all singular cases.
  • Diomedes Grammaticus describes it as ending in short -u in the nominative/accusative/vocative and long -ū in the genitive, dative and ablative.
  • Priscian describes gelū as a 4th-declension neuter noun and considers masculine gelus archaic. Priscian says 4th-declension neuter nouns are indeclinable in the singular with long -ū throughout, although he acknowledges a variant opinion that posits short -u in the nom/acc/voc and long -ū in other cases.

語形変化
