Latin translation- "strum-ability"

I don't know of such a word.

If it exists, then it probably looks something like pulsabilitas.

my Latin dictionary does not have this word. What is the meaning of pulsabilitas?

I have been searching in my Latin dictionary. I finally found a word for "taut", intentus -a, -um, which must be a neuter adjective, its meaning is stretched, tense, taut. I got intensio, onis f. for "a stretching, straining". I then found indendo, intendere, intendi, intentum, verb meaning "to stretch", [the e in ere is designated short, intendere must be "to stretch".] I then found levis, -e adj. meaning light. Also lenis, -e adj, means mild, gentle, smooth, soft.
I found vix adv. for "scarcely", and nervus =tendon .
maybe intendere vix intensus nervus? to stretch a tendon barely taut?
or/ just levis intentus nervus? "lightly stretched/taut tendon"? [of course the adjectives would have to agree in number, gender and case. ]

the term needs to describe a tendon in a state of tension, preferably in a state where i can be strummed, but if not just a mild state of tension.
thanks

My dictionary doesn't have it either. I made it up based on the way words
are formed in Latin. The root would be pulsare, which is used to mean "strum".

You want to change nervus to nervum (accusative) and intensus to intensum
to agree.

is pulsare, first declension affinative, meaning "to strum", so i strum is pulso?

Yes

would strummable tendon then be pulsabilitum nervum, or pulsabilitus nervus?
[I assume pulsabilitas is an adjective, you made from pulsare= to strum?]
with nervus being the noun tendon,
maybe "barely stummable tendon"? _____ pulsabilitum nervum?

george,
I think i found what i am looking for; vello, vellere, velli, vulsom = to pluck, pull, twitch. [I assume vellere means "to pluck".] What would be "pluckable tendon"? I have nervus, nervi, m. = tendon.
tks,

Pulsabilitas would be a noun -- "strummability".

By the method, "strummable" would be pulsabilis.

"Strummable tendon" would thus be nervus pulsabilis.

And "Barely strummable tendon" would be nervus exigue pulsabilis.

possum velere novum. to be able to pluck the tendon?

thank you

Be careful what meaning of "pluck" you intend. This means to tear out or
pull away as in plucking a chicken.

I assume you meant vellere, not velere and nervum, not novum.

If so, "I can pluck a tendon."

would pluckable be vellabilis? [vello, vellere "to pluck"]
then pluckable tendon= nervus vellabilis?

no, that was not my intent.
i of course meant to pluck a string.

yes i meant nervum vellere . to pluck a tendon.
It would be best to say "YOU can pluck the tendon", nervum vellere potes, but I don't want to say you are able to pluck it OUT, like chicken feathers.
So, I think strum is the best word, and the best phrase is strummable tendon, nervus pulsabilis.
I found that pulso is a repetative pello, that is a single pull. The second meaning of pello is to set in motion by pushing or striking (and hopefully pulling would also fit). Would then pellabilis be an adjective describing a single pull and release which sets a tendon in motion?

what this therapist is trying to descibe is a single pull and release on a tendon when sets it in motion (vibration).
I found that pulso is a repetative pello, that is a single pull. The second meaning of pello is "to set in motion by pushing or striking" (and hopefully pulling). Would then pellabilis be an adjective describing a single pull and release which sets a tendon in motion?
If so, would nervus pellabilis be a tendon with this (one pull) property?
or, is nervus pulsabilis still our best bet?

Following the logic we have been using, nervus pellabilis works.

Keep in mind that we are making words up, based on the way other Latin
words are formed.

did you arrive at this process of forming adjectives from verbs through a taught or learned method, or does it just come from experience?
