+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Ecclesiastical: [ˈsaː.ni.es]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''saniēs''' ''f'' (genitive saniēī); fifth declension^(Wiktionary)

+ Only the nominative, accusative and ablative singular are found in quotations.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The origin is uncertain: the OLD calls it unknown, and Köbler too.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010) De Vaan considers a derivative in ⟨-iēs⟩ from the stem ⟨*san-⟩ of [[m|la|sanguis|t=blood]], though the type rather suggests an abstract made from a verb;^(de Vaan 2008) Klingenschmitt's reconstruction is [[der|ine-pro|*h₁sh₂en-ih₂-|t=blood-like matter]].^(de Vaan 2008) Wiktionary likewise derives it from the oblique stem of [[ine-pro|*h₁ésh₂r̥|t=blood]], and Lewis & Short called it a weakened form of the word for blood.^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Ennius,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) who has rocks spattered with gore, ''saniēs'' and black blood.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Cato, of the same time, says that a black cancer smells and discharges foul matter.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is the watery matter that comes from a wound or ulcer, or from the wounds of the newly killed.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Celsus sets it between blood and pus: thinner than blood, of varying thickness, sticky and coloured, while pus is the thickest and whitest.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Döderlein contrasts it, as running and offensive matter, with ''pūs'', matter that corrodes.^(Döderlein 1874) Virgil, Ovid and Tacitus use it of gore.^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is also used of other fluids: the venom of snakes in Virgil and Ovid, the slaver of Cerberus in Horace, the juice of the purple fish and the watery part of olives in Pliny the Elder, and the fermented juice of tunnies in Manilius.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) Stelten gives "matter, pus".^(Stelten 1995)
