Lewis & Short

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

febrŭo, no perf., ātum, 1, v. a. [februum], to purify, expiate (ante-class.): in eorum sacris liba cum sint facta, inicere solent farris semina ac dicere, se ea februare, id est pura facere, Varr. ap. Non. 114, 22; cf. Varr. L. L. 6, § 13 Müll., and Paul. ex Fest. p. 85, 13 sq. Müll.; v. also februum.
