conubialis

Latin

Etymology

From cōnū̆bium (“marriage”) +‎ -ālis.

Pronunciation

  • (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [koː.nuː.biˈaː.lɪs], [koː.nʊ.biˈaː.lɪs]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ko.nu.biˈaː.lis]
  • As cōnūbĭāl- contains a long-short-long syllable sequence that could not be used in dactylic poetry, poets instead used a pronunciation of this word that started with either cōnŭbĭāl- or cōnūbjāl-. It is debated which of these is the correct reading: see cōnū̆bium.
