The ablative singular can bemarī ormare . The genitive plural formmarium , although regularly formed for an i-stem noun, is not attested in the corpus of classical texts.Marum is found only once, in a line from Gnaeus Naevius. The 5th/6th-century grammarianPriscian (Institutiones 7) says it is rarely used in the genitive plural, noting Caesar's use ofmaribus too. Similarly, the 4th-century grammarianCharisius claims it lacks both a genitive plural *marium and a *maribus form (but see the quotation from Julius Caesar above):"maria" tamen quamvis dicantur pluraliter, attamen nec "marium" nec "maribus" dicemus maria can be said in the plural, nevertheless we won't saymarium normaribus (Ars 1.11).

An alternative, less likely theory proposes a derivation fromLatin marem "male" to"large" , on anidiomatic basis (i.e. assuming that the expression"s-a făcut mare" , meaning"[3rd-pers. sg. ] grew up" [literally "made themselves big"] initially referred exclusively to boys becoming men, and that it shifted over time to refer more broadly to physical growth, and by extension, being large). Other theories include a derivation from itshomonym mare (meaning sea), and asubstrate origin (eitherProto-Albanian orThraco-Dacian ).
