comatus
Latin
Etymology
From coma (“hair”). Can be analyzed as the perfect passive participle of a first-conjugation verb *comō (“I am furnished with hair”), but only this perfect participle form and the present active participle form comāns are attested in Classical Latin, and post-classical uses of other verb forms are rare. Instead of a participle, this form could be analyzed as an adjective formed directly from the noun as coma + -ātus (“-ed”).
