Noun

honorus

  1. (Old Latin, rare) genitive singular of honor
    • CIL 10.01781:
      facito statuito ocludito picatoque ita utei ad aedem / Honorus facta sunt eisdem maceria extrema paries / qui est eum parietem cum margine altum facito p(edes) X
      (please add an English translation of this quotation)
Usage notes

This form shows the rare genitive singular ending -us instead of the standard Classical Latin ending -is. This unique ending is poorly attested and largely exclusive to religious or legal documents.
