Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

dentāle, is, and dentālia, ium (only the plural class.; sing. post-class.), n. [dens, no. I. B.], the share-beam, to which the vomer or ploughshare was attached.

  1. I. Prop., plur., Verg. G. 1, 172; Col. 2, 2, 24.
    Sing.: genus vomerum toto porrectum dentali, Plin. 18, 18, 48, § 171.
  2. * II. Meton.: sulco terens dentalia, a ploughshare, Pers. 1, 73.
