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.

* dentĭlĕgus, i. m. [dens-lego], one who picks up his teeth, sc. after they have been knocked out; a tooth-gatherer, a comic word: dentilegos omnis mortalis faciam, Plaut. Capt. 4, 2, 18.
