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.

buccĭna, buccĭnātor, buccĭno, buccĭnum, and buccĭnus, v. bucina, etc.

būcĭnum (bucc-), i, n. [bucina].

  1. I. The sound or blast of a trumpet, Plin. 9, 33, 52, § 103; 11, 10, 10, § 20.
    Hence, ad Bucinum, a quarter in Rome, Dig. 14, 4, 5, § 16.
  2. II. A shell-fish used in dyeing purple, Plin. 9, 36, 61, § 129 sq.
