Usage notes

  • In the Classical pronunciation, scacci is consonantially identical to the modern Italian-language designation for chess scacchi, but this is not so in Ecclesiastical. Ecclesiastical or Italianate Latin is thus more likely to use the alternative form scacchi, which forces [k] before [i].

Declension

Second-declension noun, plural only.
