Latin

[edit]
  • As for ancient Latin, dictionaries give the plural cacoethe (not cacoetha), but the plural could often be mentioning-y.
  • As for New Latin, cacoethes could also be an adjectives and it could have a masculine form and neuter plurals cacoethe, cacoethia and cacotha.
    • In the given example with "ad ulcera cacoëthe" it could be an adjective meaning "to malignant ulcers".
    • 1 has "Cacoethes morbus ....", "Cacoethes ulcus ...", "ad Cacoethes nomas", "ad Cacoethe ulcera ..." where cacothes could be masc. sing., neuter sing. and fem. acc. plur.
    • 2 with "... ulcera cacoethae ..." could mistreat cacoethes as first declension noun and mean the "ulcers of the malignant disease"
    • 3 with "ulcera cacoethia"
