発音

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ma.nuːˈpre.ti.um/, [mänuːˈprɛt̪iʊ̃ˑ] or IPA^(key): /ma.nuˈpre.ti.um/, [mänʊˈprɛt̪iʊ̃ˑ]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ma.nuˈpret.t͡si.um/, [mänuˈprɛt̪ː͡s̪ium]
• The length of the vowel in the second syllable is usually taken to be long. The word is attested only once in verse: it occurs in a line of iambic senarius in Plautus' Menaechmi which can scan with either length (if short, as — — ⏑ — | x || ⏖ ⏑ ⏖ | ⏑ — ⏑ —; if long, as — — ⏑ — | x || ⏖ ⏑ — | ⏖ — ⏑ —). Morphologically, a long vowel can be easily explained by taking the word as a univerbation of a phrase manū pretium, where the first element is the ablative singular form manū (compare manūmittō). However, manus also formed regular compounds with a short vowel, such as manufestus; the u here was the "sonus medius" that developed from short u before a labial consonant, as shown by the later variant manifestus, and manupretium likewise has a variant manipretium, which would not be expected to develop from a form with long ū.
