tenuia/tenuior

Open wehro opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

If the general rule applies, tenuia (neuter plural) and tenuior (comparative), both derived from tenuis, have a semi-vocalic i. So the hyphenations should be te-nu-ia and te-nu-ior instead of te-nu-i-a and te-nu-i-or.

On the other hand, the related word tenuiarius has a vocalic i according to Gaffiot and Lewis/Short. So it seems more likely that tenuia and tenuior have a vocalic i as well and the hyphenations te-nu-i-a and te-nu-i-or are correct.
