How to say 'striped' in Latin












2















I'm looking for a way to describe striped cloth — that is, with regular stripes all over, or like the stripes on the flag of the USA.



I'm well aware of the stripe on a toga, angusticlavus, etc. But is it appropriate to use clavus in the general sense, or is there a better word? I have considered striatum, but am not sure that I'm exactly on the right track. Or am I missing something obvious?

  • Yes; I'll probably have to settle for varius, or something similar, though it seems to mean any sort of variation, not just 'striped'. I put forward striatus, meaning 'fluted' as on architectural columns, but this also doesn't really convey the meaning, either. Maybe I'll just have to rely on context.

My dictionary offers four options for "striped":




  • Virgatus "striped" (has been used for striped clothing, at least in
    poetry and post-classically)


  • Virgulatus "striped" (seems to be very similar to virgatus but less
    frequent)



Both of these are from virga "twig", which was also used to mean "stripe" in clothing (II C).




  • Ostreatus (striped or ridged like an oyster shell: doesn't seem to have been used to describe a pattern in clothing)


  • Striatus (more like furrowed, from stria "furrow": doesn't seem to have been used for clothing)

    From biological Latin, I would suggest striātus, -a, -um. While it literally means "fluted" or "furrowed", it's is the word I've most often seen for "striped" in scientific names: for example, the "striped pondweed" is Stuckenia striata, the "striped bladderwort" is Utricularia striata, and the "striped snakehead" (a type of fish) is Channa striata.

      In the Corpus Christi Alea Evangelii there is a playing piece which is coloured differently. This is sometimes translated 'speckled,' sometimes 'striped.' "Now we pass the variegated man..."




      "Varium nunc transgrediamur virum . et postea Marcus in trianguli
      primo angulo ..."




      In the same description of a board game the ranks and files are called 'trames.' A word borrowed from weaving. Transmeo is the verb.




      .X. et .VIII. tramites in longitudine 18 ranks in length.
      singuli per singulos tramites, one by one across the separate ranks.




      toga alba, nigrore transmente a white toga woven across with black.



      I had misremembered 'trames;' I thought it meant a furrow. And perhaps that would be a better metaphor:



      toga candida et nigra sulcatim. A toga, furrowed black and white.

                                Tradisjonelle folkedrakter frå Aust-Telemark, truleg frå 1880-åra. Drakter som dette er grunnlaget for moderne bunadar. Foto: Axel Lindahl Bunad frå Eggedal i Buskerud fotografert i 1906. Bunad (frå kledebunad , der norrønt «búnaðr» har same rot som (føre)bu) er ei samnemning brukt om klesdrakter i tradisjonell nordisk stil — ofte utvikla frå folkedrakter, men likevel i ein eigen tradisjon. Ein bunad er typisk ei forseggjort og kostbar drakt, med mykje broderi, og med handsmidde smykke i gull eller sølv, særleg dei særeigne søljene, som obligatorisk prynad i tillegg. Bunad og bunadbruk er eit debattemne med mange ulike oppfatningar, til dømes om kva som er ein bunad, og om ein kan endra på utforminga av draktene eller ikkje. Den norske bunadrørsla går tilbake til folkedansrørsla og føregangsfolk som Hulda Garborg og Klara Semb. I dag blir bunad brukt som nasjonaldrakt. Festbunad er likestilt med galla-antrekk, og ofte nytta ved særskilde høve, som konfirmasjonar eller d

Grani í vetrarfeldi. Færeyski hesturinn (færeyska: Føroyska rossið ) er hestur sem hefur lifað í Færeyjum í hundruði ára. Hann er smágerður, 120-132 cm á hæð, og helst skyldur hjaltlandshestinum. Hlutverk hans var að draga vagna og plóg og bera klyfjar. Hann hefur fjórar gangtegundir eins og íslenski hesturinn (þar með talið tölt) og er með fjölda litaafbrigði. Nú til dags er hann notaður til frístunda. Í lok 19. aldar voru til um 800 hross. Mörg þeirra voru seld til Bretlands til að vinna í kolanámum og um 1960 voru aðeins nokkrir hestar eftir. Átak var gert í að varðveita hestinn og eru nú til 70-80 hross í Færeyjum. [1] Heimild |   Wikimedia Commons er með margmiðlunarefni sem te
