Grammatical gender

edit

Unfortunately, I haven't found the word conuber in my Latin dictionaries, just conubium, "marriage", neither have I seen it anywhere in a Latin text. But it is obvious that conuber has neuter gender, see Conuber Finlay & Marwick, 1937 at WoRMS website: adjective endings Conuber conicum (Lamarck, 1822) and Conuber sordidum (Swainson, 1821), as well as direct link to species Conuber sordidum (Swainson, 1821) at WoRMS website. Therefore it has to be moved to the neuter form, as accepted by the scientists' community. -- PhJ (talk) 09:48, 15 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
