    ► In composition, bis, like the Gr.
    dis, loses the s: biceps, bidens, bifer, bigener, bijugus, bilix, etc.;

    hence bissenus,

    Sen. Agam. 812; id. Herc. Fur. 1282; Stat. Th. 3, 574;

    and bisseni,

    id. ib. 12, 811; Aus. Monos. Idyll. 12, and Prud. Cath. 12, 192, are better written as two words: bis senus (seni); so either bisextus, or as two words, bis sextus (Stat. S. 4, 1, 9); v. bisextus.
