Candelae

noun

Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    plural of candela form-of, plural, rare

    "The form of the plural, too, calls for consideration. The Latin is candelae and the Italian candele, but candelas has already been used officially in Belgium and will probably be used in France. It will almost certainly be preferred in this country and in America, where candelae would be deemed pedantic."
