Usage notes
This was originally an option for the genitive and dative singulars in the feminine gender, but was ousted in those respective positions by ūnīus (a new form formed by analogy with the pronomial declension) and ūnī (which instead held the position of the genitive for the masculine and neuter genders in the singular).
