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

mōmen, ĭnis, n. [for movimen, from moveo].

  1. I. Movement, motion: e salso consurgere momine ponti, i. e. from the salt billows, Lucr. 6, 474; so also id. 2, 632, and 4, 179; v. Lachm. (where others read numine); cf. id. 3, 144.
  2. II. Weight, momentum; importance, moment (ante- and postclass.): momine parvo moveri, Lucr. 3, 188: nullius mominis esse, to be of no consequence, of no moment, Arn. 2, 77.
