Pronunciation: mem'-brum
Alternate Spelling: L. “part, section” colon membrum orationis clause
Roughly equivalent to "clause" in English, except that the emphasis is on seeing this part of a sentence as needing completion, either with a second membrum (or colon) or with two others forming a tricolon. When membra (or cola) are of equal length, they form isocolon.
