Pronunciation


Aulus Gellius (Noctes Atticae, c. 177) reports that in the usual pronunciation of his time, the "e" was short; a friend of his justified this pronunciation by appeal to common usage when challenged by another friend who argued that it should be long by analogy with the long ē in calescit, nitescit, stupescit and in quiēs. On the other hand, there is inscriptional evidence of long "e" in this word in the form of inscriptions which mark it with an apex (CIL VI.6250 and 25521.)
