1. nŭmĕrus (applied both to motion and sound: both sing. and pl.): whatever admits the measurement of our hearing is called r.: quidquid sub aurium mensuram aliquam cadit, n. vocatur, Cic. Or. 20, 67: a dactylic r., n. dactylicus, id. ib. 57, 191: to gesticulate regardless of r., extra numerum se movere, id. Parad. 3, 2, ad fin.; Hor.
2. mŏdus (esp. in poetry or music: both sing. and pl.): mournful r.s, flebiles m., Cic. Tusc. 1, 44, 106. Join: numerus et m., id. de Or. 1, 33, 151.
