aculeonis

Latin

Etymology

From aculeus +‎ -ō(nis), with /ū/ taken from acūtus (“sharp”). Documented in the Reichenau Glossary.

The nominative singular would have ended in -ō in Classical Latin. The ending -ōnis reflects a Gallo-Romance remodelling according to other inflections, for instance the accusative singular -ōnem. Compare the nominative singular pedis, standing for Classical Latin pēs in the aforementioned glossary.
