Use "puer" in a sentence
"Although technically, according to the ages of man as described by Isidore and Avicenna (the two most commonly invoked systems), the term puer denoted a child (ages seven to ten) in the period following and distinct from infancy (birth to ten years), many authors used puer interchangeably with infans."
"The term puer was used interchangeably with infans, lactans, parvus, and parvulus."
"Note 8: I shall postpone a discussion of the gendered significance of the term puer until later, in the final section, where the inclusion of girls among the crowd takes on great significance."
