Vide infra Explanation: According to the Restored Prounciation, which obtains in most secular schools, colleges, and universities worldwide and which approximates to how the Romans spoke Latin in the period c.100 BCE-c.100 CE, the word would be sounded as follows: qu as in queen ae as i in bite s as in sit (not as in rose) i (stressed) as in police t as in stop (not as in top) u as in put m as in drum (although, if it precedes a vowel or diphthong or inital h, it was nasalised or slurrd so as to be barely audible). |
