Today I was reading 1 Samuel 5 in the Vulgata and in verse 9 these two words are found: ... circumducentibus ... computrescebant ... which surprised me for their length (16 and 15 letters respectively). So, which are the longest, attested words in Latin? Is Honorificabilitudinitatibus the longest? (27 letters...horrible word, btw) Which are other examples of very long (say, +25 letters) words?
