Talk:Iracum

FYI: Both English Wiktionary (RFV) and Latin Wikipedia were not able to attest a nominative *Iracum. However, there is evidence for a nominative *Iracus - besides Irac and Iraca -, which then could be feminine (like Aegyptus) or masculine (like many second declension nouns, including some which were originally feminine but also became masculine in ML or NL like paragraphus). -80.133.97.211 17:29, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
