Frequency statistics
Authorities record several spelling variants of the Latin. Du Cange lemmatises and also lists  and ; Niermeyer lemmatises  and also lists, , , , and ; Ramminger’s NLW lemmatises  and also lists  and. Raw all-forms Google Books Search frequency statistics for all these variants, in descending order of frequency, are: The last three of these are so rare that the forms *, *, *, *, and * do not occur at all. In the light of this evidence, I lemmatise on the grounds that it is the most common spelling and that it is the only form recorded by all three of du Cange, Niermeyer, and Ramminger’s NLW. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 13:02, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
