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.

cerus, in carmine Saliari intellegitur creator, Fest. s. v. matrem matutam, p. 122 Müll.
Here perhaps belongs also another passage from the Carm. Saliorum: duomis ceruses, Varr. L. L. 7, § 26 Müll.; another writing KERVS in KERI POCOLOM, an inscription on a clay vase; the word is a masc. form to the fem. Ceres, and denotes the creator; from cer = Sanscr. kri, to make; v. Ceres.
