Pronunciation

  • (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ruː.briːˈkaː.tus/, or IPA(key): /ru.briˈkaː.tus/,
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ru.briˈka.tus/,
  • There is conflicting evidence about the lengths of the vowels in the first two syllables of the adjective rū̆brī̆cātus and verb rū̆brī̆cō. These words appear to have originally been derived from the noun rūbrīca (red ochre), where the ī is certainly long and the ū likely so, but pronunciations like rŭbrĭcātus, rŭbrĭcō developed at some point, plausibly by reinterpretation of the word as being composed of the related adjective rŭber (red) and the verb-forming suffix -ĭcō. The vowels in Catalan Llobregat represent the outcomes of Latin short -ŭ- and -ĭ-.
