Traianusとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Probably from Trā̆ius +‎ -ānus/-iānus: Trajan's paternal grandmother is assumed to have been from the gens Traia. The source of the nomen Trā̆ius is uncertain, but it may be of Oscan origin.

発音

• (Classical Latin) IPA: /traːˈi̯aː.nus/, [t̪räːˈi̯äːnʊs̠] or IPA: /trai̯ˈi̯aː.nus/, [t̪räi̯ˈi̯äːnʊs̠]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /traˈja.nus/, [t̪räˈjäːnus]
• Traia- scans as two heavy syllables, but given the unknown and perhaps foreign etymology, it is unclear whether the first syllable contained a short vowel followed by double /jj/ or a long vowel followed by single /j/. (Many dictionaries mark the vowel as long in either of these contexts.) The pronunciation with short /a/ and double /jj/ would be more consistent with the usual pronunciation of intervocalic -i- as /jj/ in unprefixed Latin words (such as aio, maior, Maius, eius, Troia). The spelling "Traiianus" is attested on some inscriptions, such as the Tabula Banasitana, although this does not necessarily reveal the pronunciation.
