sera f (genitive serae); first declension
- a bar or bolt for fastening doors
- 16 BCE, Ovid, The Loves 3.14:- quis furor est, quae nocte latent, in luce fateri,
 et quae clam facias facta referre palam?
 ignoto meretrix corpus iunctura Quiriti
 opposita populum summovet ante sera;
 tu tua prostitues famae peccata sinistrae
 commissi perages indiciumque tui?- Translation by Christopher Marlowe- What madnesse ist to tell night prankes by day,
 And hidden secrets openlie to bewray?
 The strumpet with the stranger will not do,
 Before the roome be deere, and doore put too.
 Will you make shipwracke of your honest name,
 And let the world be witnesse of the same?
 
- What madnesse ist to tell night prankes by day,
