conubialis

Latin

Etymology

From cōnū̆bium (“marriage”) +‎ -ālis.

Pronunciation
  • (Classical) IPA(key): /koː.nuː.biˈaː.lis/, [koːnuːbiˈäːlʲɪs̠] or IPA(key): /koː.nu.biˈaː.lis/, [koːnʊbiˈäːlʲɪs̠]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ko.nu.biˈa.lis/, [konubiˈäːlis]
  • 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.
