aurichalcumとは 意味・読み方・使い方

発音

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /au̯.riˈkʰal.kum/, [äu̯rɪˈkʰäɫ̪kʊ̃ˑ]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /au̯.riˈkal.kum/, [äu̯riˈkälkum]
• Metrical evidence for the length of the vowel in the second syllable is inconclusive: this word occurs in verse three times in the works of Plautus, in each case in the same metrical position, with the second syllable as the third anceps element in a line of trochaic septenarius. A syllable in this position can be long or short, but given the short scansion attested for i in the alternative form orichalcum, it may be preferable to assume the same length for the form with au.
