Disputatio:Res transitionis

message: "Obiectum vulgo est strangulus, vel pupa ursi pro parvulis." Besides the fact that obiectum is not the proper word for object, what does this sentence try to say? Btw, ursus, ursi, non urus, uri.--Ioscius 20:20, 30 Augusti 2006 (UTC)

text: "The object comonly is either a blanket, or a stuffed animal bear (doll of a bear) for children" is what a meant. While it doesn't matter because it is probably entirely wrong anyway I probably should have used "pupa in forma ursi" or "ursiforma" if such adjectives were common in latin.

Alexanderr, to address your question (from here and my talk page), such adjectives do exist. But the correct form is ursiformis, raniformis, and so on. See here for a list of such words attested in Classical Latin. They are in fact extremely common in Scientific Latin. In fact, I would say that it is a bit of overkill to refer to a teddy-bear as a pupa ursiformis, because it sounds too scientific: we're not defining a new species here ;) Pupa in forma ursi (or ursae), or pupa ursina will work better for the purpose of this page, at any rate. If you want to write an article just on teddy bears, then give me a heads up, and I'll look for good citations in my Neo-Latin sources (Heck, I mean... Winnie Ille Pu. Need I say more?)
Anyway, as an added bonus, here's how to form one of those adjectives:
#Take the stem of the word. This will look like the genitive, minus the ending (stellae > stell-, pueri > puer-, corporis > corpor-, and so on.)
#Add -i-
#Add -formis.
And here's how to decline them
          	Masculine/Feminine	Masculine/Feminine
          	Singular          	Plural
Nominative	ursiformis        	ursiformes
Genitive  	ursiformis        	ursiformium
Dative    	ursiformi         	ursiformibus
Accusative	ursiformem        	ursiformes
Ablative  	ursiformi         	ursiformibus
Vocative  	ursiformis        	ursiformes
          	Neuter    	Neuter
          	Singular  	Plural
Nominative	ursiforme 	ursiformia
Genitive  	ursiformis	ursiformium
Dative    	ursiformi 	ursiformibus
Accusative	ursiforme 	ursiformia
Ablative  	ursiformi 	ursiformibus
Vocative  	ursiforme 	ursiformia
Hope that helps (and if anyone can format that table better, feel free). --Iustinus 00:05, 8 Septembris 2006 (UTC)
