LESSON 6

_____________________________________________

LATIN NAMES OF SALTS IN PRESCRIPTIONS

In this lesson you will:

• Become familiar with the Latin names of salts used in prescriptions

This lesson is divided into the following sections:

I.Latin names of salts

II.Latin names of anions

III. Two-component names of potassium and sodium salts IV. Exercises.

I. LATIN NAMES OF SALTS

The salts names in Latin consist of two nouns:

•the name of cation comes first in Genitive,

•the name of anion occupies the second place and is in Nominative

It is important to keep in mind that cation names in Latin are always written with the first capital letter and anion names are always written with the first small letter (e.g: Solutĭo Natrĭi tetraborātis glycerinōsa).

II. LATIN NAMES OF ANIONS

All Latin suffixes and endings of anion names in Nominative and Genitive are listed in the table:

168

Explanatory notes to the table:

•Anion names with the suffixes -as, -is are Latin nouns of the 3rd declension. The letter -s- in Latin names accords with the letter -t- in English names:

•Genitive forms of anion names with suffixes -as-, -is- are formed by analogy with the nouns of the 3rd declension:

Compare:

•citras, ātis m - tuberosĭtas, ātis f

•Anion names with the suffixe -id- are Latin nouns of the 2nd declension:

E.g:

•chlorīdum, i n - chloride

•bromīdum, i n - bromide

III. TWO-COMPONENT NAMES OF POTASSIUM AND SODIUM SALTS

Two-component names of potassium and sodium are written with a hyphen and the both parts have the same grammatical case:

E.g: sulphacyl sodium
