Usage notes

In Classical Latin, the comparative frūgālior and superlative frūgālissimus are well attested, but the positive degree Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) is found only once, meaning "pertaining to fruits". The adjective frūgī was used to mean "frugal".
