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.

dentĭfrangĭbŭlus, i, m., and -um, i, n. [dens-frango], a tooth-breaker, a comic word in Plautus.

  1. * I. Masc., one who knocks out teeth, Plaut. Bac. 4, 2, 23.
  2. * II. N. pl. (sc. instrumenta), the fist, id. ib. 14.
