A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin

Thrips, gen.sg. thripis (s.m.III), abl.sg. thripe: Gk. θρίψ (thríps): woodworm; “a kind of insect that attacks wood” (Glare) [family Thripidae).

     singular    plural
Nom.  thrips    thripes
Gen.  thripis   thripum
Dat.  thripi    thripibus
Acc.  thripem   thripes
Abl.  thripe    thripibus

NOTE: in classical greek, gen.sg. thripos, nom. pl. thripes (that is, the ‘s’ of the nom.sg. disappears). Note also the family name is Thripidae (not Thripsidae).

NOTE: in Greek, nouns ending in the letter psi do not form i-stem nouns in Latin; see also knips, gen.sg. knipis (s.m.III); thrips, gen.sg. thripis (s.m.III).

A work in progress, presently with preliminary A through R, and S, and with S (in part) through Z essentially completed.
