Latin
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unclear, but reflects an earlier ablative form. Proposals include:[1][2]
- from Proto-Italic *jougestos (“yoked”), from *jougos (“team of yoke animals”) (whence Latin iūgera pl), from Proto-Indo-European *(H)yewg-es-, from *(H)yewg- (“join together”);
- from Proto-Italic *jugistos (“closest”), equivalent to *(H)yug- + *-istHos (“superlative suffix”); however, this suffix is otherwise not found in Latin.
The accusative is from the suffix used adverbially.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈi̯uːk.staː/, [ˈi̯uːks̠t̪äː] or IPA(key): /ˈi̯uk.staː/, [ˈi̯ʊks̠t̪äː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈjuk.sta/, [ˈjukst̪ä]
- Note: the length of the /u/ is uncertain due to lack of graphic attestations, unclear etymology and common conflation with iūstus (“just; exact”) already in Latin as well as its Romance descendants. Most other dictionaries list it as short.

[edit]iū̆xtā (not comparable)
Preposition
[edit]iū̆xtā (+ accusative)
