別の表記

• lix

発音

• (Classical Latin) IPA: [ˈlɪk.sa]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: [ˈlik.sa]

名詞

lixa m (genitive lixae); first declension (attested only in glosses)

1. water
2. lye
   • c. 280 CE, Nonius Marcellus, De compendiosa doctrina 82:

     Lixarum proprietas haec est, quod officium sustineant militibus aquae vehendae; lixam namque aquam veteres vocaverunt; unde elixum dicimus aqua coctum. Lix[a] etiam cinis dicitur vel umor cineri mixtus; nam etiamnunc id genus lexivum vocatur. Varro de Vita Populi Romani lib. I: 'proinde ut elixum panem ex farre et aqua frigida fingebant'.

     The particular quality of lixae is this, to bear the duty of carrying water for the soldiers, for the ancients called water "lixa"; whence we say "elixus", meaning cooked with water. Ash or liquid mixed with ash is also called "lix[a]"; for even now that type is called lexivus. Varro de Vita Populi Romani Book I: "therefore they made soaked/boiled bread from emmer and cold water"

使用する際の注意点

Since manuscripts of Nonius read "lix etiam cinis...", some dictionaries treat lix (“lye”) as a distinct noun: however, Lindsay 1891, citing Onions, argues that "lix etiam" is merely a corruption of "lixaetiam", i.e. "lixa etiam".
