Ladino

Noun

bos f (Latin spelling, plural bozes)

1. Alternative form of boz

Latin

Etymology

Irregular, for the expected **v?s/**?s, accusative **vom, oblique stem **vov-, from Proto-Italic *g??s, from Proto-Indo-European *g??ws, which also gave Ancient Greek ???? (boûs), Sanskrit ?? (go) (nominative singular gaú?), and English cow.

Most likely a borrowing from Sabellic (Oscan-Umbrian), attested as Umbrian bum (acc.sg.), bue (abl.sg.), buo (gen.pl.), buf (acc.pl.) all spelling /b?-/. This was likely motivated by the fact that the expected form would have produced an undesirable homonymic clash: with v?s (“you”) in the nominative and with ovis (“sheep”) in the oblique. It's unclear whether the borrowing included the entire paradigm, or just the initial consonant.

Alternative forms

• bovis, bus (rare)

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /bo?s/, [bo?s?]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /bos/, [b?s]

Noun

b?s m or f (irregular, genitive bovis); third declension

1. a cow, bull, or ox
2. (in the plural) cattle (bovine animals)

Declension

Third-declension noun (irregular).

• The medial /v/ is often found spelled B, normally not spelled in the form boum, and is sometimes lost in the forms bo(v)e and bo(v)?s.
• The dative/ablative plural forms are normally found as b?bus, more rarely as b?bus, and very rarely as bovibus.
• The genitive plural is twice boverum.
• The ablative singular is once the archaizing bov?d in an inscription.

• iumentum (when used to pull carts); armentum (when used to pull plows)
