3 hrs confidence:
| right dextrae/dextrum Explanation: Or, employing the unsyncopated forms, 'dexterae' or 'dexterum'. If the reference is to the parts of the human body, the adjective must be feminine ('dextrae') to agree with the body parts ('partes corporis'). If the reference is to the right side itself, it must be neuter ('dextrum') to agree with 'latus' ('side'). |
