Latin. I'm sure that this word can be inflected as a third declension noun, as a spelling variant of aedēs; the inflection as a fifth-declension noun is more surprising, and I'm wondering what it is supported by. So far, I've found one non-spurious hit of edebus ("12 Thomas Cutt ex edebus Bright"), but it is in a document that also uses the spelling "edibus" ("Julie 18 Margret Spuria ex Edibus Prinne"), and so I'm not sure if "edebus" is either a spelling error or a case of variable spelling of an unstressed vowel. ("The Register Booke of the Parrishe Churche of St Christophers nere the Stockes in London") It would be helpful to have attestations of less ambiguous fifth-declension forms like genitive singular edei or genitive plural ederum.--Urszag (talk) 21:34, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
