UDUS; UVIDUS; HUMIDUS; AQUOSUS; MADIDUS. 1. +Uvidum+ and +udum+ (#huas#,
vadum, from #huô#, uveo) denote, like #hugron#, the wetness which
consists entirely of water or other fluid particles, whether actually,
apparently, or only by hyperbole, _humore constans_; whereas +humidum+
and +humectum+ (from #chumos#) is the wetness which is caused by water
soaking through, _humore mixtum_. Senec. N. Q. ii. 25. Dicis nubes
attritas edere ignem cum sint _humidæ_, imo _udæ_. Hence is +udus+ (in
opp. to _sudus_ and _solidus_) used by Tertullian as synonymous with
_aquanus_; whereas _humidus_ (in opp. to _aridus_) is synonymous with
_aquosus_, only that by _aquosus_ is meant a separation and
juxta-position of wet and dry; by _humidus_, a mixture and association
of wet and dry; hence _pratum aquosum_ means a meadow with ponds and
puddles; _pratum humidum_, a meadow soaked with water. 2. +Udus+ is only
a contracted form of _uvidus_; +humectus+ is distinguished from
_humidus_ only as a sort of participle. Pacuv. ap. Varr. Terra exhalabat
auroram _humidam, humectam_. 3. +Humidus+, +humens+, refer, like moist,
to the inward quality of a body; whereas +madidus+, +madens+, like
#mudaleos# and dripping, only to the exterior and surface of a body, in
opp. to _siccus_. Cic. Phil. xiv. 3. Imbuti sanguine gladii legionum
exercituumque nostrorum, vel _madefacti_ potius duobus consulum, tertio
Cæsaris proelio; for +imbuere+, as the causative of _imbibere_, refers
to a _humectatio_, a moisture of the inner part; +madefieri+, to a
_redundatio_, the cause of which lies in this, that the inner part is so
over-full, that nothing further can be forced into it. (ii. 12.)

ULNA; LACERTUS; BRACHIUM; CUBITUS. +Ulna+ (#ôlenê#) is the whole arm,

the under-arm; +cubitus+, the bending between the two, the elbow.
