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.

2. ōvātus, a, um, adj. [ovum].

  1. I. Eggshaped, ovate (post-Aug.): aliis ovata species, Plin. 15, 21, 23, § 85; App. M. 10, p. 254 med.
  2. II. Having ovate spots: lapis Numidicus, Plin. 35, 1, 1, § 3.

ŏvo, ātum (first pers. pres. indic. and perf. forms not in use: ovet, Stat. Sil. 4, 1, 8: ovaret, id. Th. 1, 153: ovandi, Suet. Claud. 1; Gell. 5, 6: ovaturus, Sol. 45), 1, v. defect. n. [cf. Sanscr. root u-, avate, to roar; Gr. αὔω, ἀϝυω, to shout], to exult, rejoice.

  1. I. In gen. (mostly poet.): ovantes Horatium accipiunt, Liv. 1, 25: laetus ovat nunc laude virum, Val. Fl. 4, 342.
    Of inanim. subjects: currus ovantes, Prop. 3, 7 (4, 8), 53: ovat Africus, rages, Val. Fl. 2, 506.
  2. II. In partic., to celebrate or keep an ovation, to triumph in an ovation (v. ovatio; freq. and class.): ovantem in Capitolium ascendere, Cic. de Or. 2, 47, 195: ovans urbem ingrederetur, Liv. 5, 31: ovans triumphavit, made his triumphal entry on foot, Vell. 2, 96, 3; Suet. Tib. 9: ovatum aurum, brought in in triumph, taken as spoil, Pers. 2, 55.
    Hence, P. a.: ŏvans, antis, exulting, joyful, triumphant: socii comitentur ovantes, Verg. G. 1, 346; cf.: ovantes gutture corvi, i. e. singing, uttering exultant cries, id. ib. 1, 423; id. A. 3, 189; 4, 543.

    Hence, ŏvanter, adv., exultingly (post-class.): ovanter accurrit, Tert. adv. Val. 28.
