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

Cȳănĕae, ārum, f., v. cyaneus, II.

cȳănĕus, a, um, adj., = κυάνεος.

  1. I. Dark-blue, sea-blue: cyaneo colore avis, Plin. 10, 32, 47, § 89: stagna, Prud. Psych. 858.
  2. II. Cȳănĕae, ārum, f., = Κυάνεαι, the two small rocky islands at the entrance of the Pontus Euxinus, called also Symplegades, q. v., Ov. Tr. 1, 10, 34; Mel. 2, 7, 3: errantes, Val. Fl. 4, 561.
