September (feminine Septembris, neuter Septembre); third-declension three-termination adjective

1. of September
   • 106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Letters to Atticus I.1.10:

     cum Romae a iudiciis forum refrixerit, excurremus mense Septembri legati ad Pisonem, ut ianuario revertamur.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

In Classical Latin, month names were regularly used as adjectives, generally modifying a case-form of mēnsis m sg (“month”) or of one of the nouns used in the Roman calendar to refer to specific days of the month from which other days were counted: Calendae f pl (“calends”), Nōnae f pl (“nones”), Īdūs f pl (“ides”). However, the masculine noun mēnsis could be omitted by ellipsis, so the masculine singular forms of month names eventually came to be used as proper nouns.^[1]

The accusative plural adjective forms Aprīlīs, Septembrīs, Octōbrīs, Novembrīs, Decembrīs^[2] are ambiguous in writing, being spelled identically to the genitive singular forms of the nouns; nevertheless, the use of ablative singular forms in -ī and comparison with the usage of other month names as adjectives supports the interpretation of -is as an accusative plural adjective ending in Classical Latin phrases such as "kalendas Septembris".^[3]

Third-declension three-termination adjective.

• In medieval and New Latin, the ablative singular can also be found as Septembre.

September m sg (genitive Septembris); third declension

1. September

   Synonyms: mensis September, mensis september

   • 1938 [1108], “Ad Thomam electum archiepiscopum Eboracensem”, in S. Anselmi cantuariensis archiepiscopi opera omnia, volume 5th, page 390:

     Mando itaque vobis, ut octavo Idus Septembris sitis apud matrem vestram ecclesiam Cantuariensem, ad faciendum quod facere debetis, et ad suspiciendam consecrationem vestram.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

Third-declension noun, singular only.

• In medieval and New Latin, the ablative singular can also be found as Septembre.
