Noun
bos f (Latin spelling, plural bozes)
- 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
- a cow, bull, or ox
- (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.
