stipendium n (singular definite stipendiet, plural indefinite stipendier)

1. scholarship (study allowance)
2. grant
3. bursary

From Dutch stipendium, from Latin stipendium, from stips (“alms, small payment”) +‎ pendere (“pay, weigh”).

• IPA^(key): [sti.pɛnˈdi.ʊm]
• Hyphenation: sti‧pèndium

stipèndium (first-person possessive stipendiumku, second-person possessive stipendiummu, third-person possessive stipendiumnya)

stipendium m (plural stipendiums)

1. scholarship, bursary

Haplologized from *stipipendium, from stips (“alms, small payment”) (from stipes) and pendere (“pay, weigh”).

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /stiːˈpen.di.um/, [s̠t̪iːˈpɛn̪d̪iʊ̃ˑ]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /stiˈpen.di.um/, [st̪iˈpɛn̪d̪ium]

Generally thought to have a long vowel in the first syllable, despite the short /i/ in the base stips; one potential explanation of this is a change from */ipp/ to /iːp/. However, there is some uncertainty: most occurrences in meter are inconclusive (placing it in an anceps syllable, which was usually long but could be short) except for the case of stīpendium in Ennius, which Michiel de Vaan argues is an example of lengthening metri causa.^[1]

     cōnsilia in nostrīs requiēsset sēdibus hospes!
