形容詞

isoscelēs (genitive isoscelis); third-declension one-termination adjective

1. (geometry) isosceles (having equal legs)

語形変化

Third-declension one-termination adjective (Greek-type).

It is unknown whether adjectives of this type would use i-stem or consonant-stem endings in Classical Latin: the relevant forms are not attested. Depending on the word, either ending or both may be attested in New Latin. Notes:

• The Greek masculine and feminine nominative singular is ῐ̓σοσκελής (ĭsoskelḗs), while the masculine and feminine vocative singular and the neuter nominative, accusative and vocative singular are ῐ̓σοσκελές (ĭsoskelés). Maybe Latin preserved the short length of the epsilon (ε), or maybe it did not so that the declension became similar to Latin third declension adjectives of one ending (like felix).
• This word is often used together with triangulum n and rarer with triangulus m.
• The vowel length is attested with starting īso- as well, but the Greek etymology points to ĭso- with a short vowel.
