hemo

hemo (plural hemi)

1. home

From Proto-Italic *hemō.

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈhe.moː/, [ˈhɛmoː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈe.mo/, [ˈɛːmo]

hemō m (genitive hemōnis); third declension

1. (Old Latin) Alternative form of homō

• This spelling was found in Old Latin, while the only apparent attestation of it in Classical Latin is in Cicero, whose Epistulae ad Atticum 8.15.1.7 is sometimes read as […] aut hemonis fugam intendis […]. That, however, is merely one interpretation of an apparently very corrupt text fragment; others instead read a Greek word αὐθήμερον (authḗmeron), for example.

Third-declension noun.

• “hemo”, in Charlton T. Lewis and Charles Short (1879) A Latin Dictionary, Oxford: Clarendon Press
• hemo in Gaffiot, Félix (1934) Dictionnaire illustré latin-français, Hachette.
