Latin
Etymology
From cōnū̆bium (“marriage”) + -ālis.
Pronunciation
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /koː.nuː.biˈaː.lis/, or IPA(key): /koː.nu.biˈaː.lis/,
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ko.nu.biˈa.lis/,
- As cōnūbĭāl- contains a long-short-long syllable sequence that could not be used in dactylic poetry, poets instead used a pronunciation of this word that started with either cōnŭbĭāl- or cōnūbjāl-. It is debated which of these is the correct reading: see cōnū̆bium.
