natis

natis

1. past of natar

From an apparent Proto-Indo-European *not- (“rear, buttock”), related to Ancient Greek νῶτον (nôton); however, the phonetics are problematic.

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈna.tɪs]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈnaː.tis]

natis f (genitive natis); third declension

1. rump; buttocks
   • 86 CE – 103 CE, Martial, Epigrammata 11.43:

     Incurvābat Hylān positō Tīrynthius arcū:
     Tū Megarān crēdis nōn habuisse natīs?

     The Tirynthian man would put down his bow and bend Hylān over— do you think Megarā had no arse?
