Aquas

Aquas is the accusative plural form of the Latin noun aqua, meaning water. In Latin, aqua is a feminine noun of the first declension; its nominative plural is aquae and its accusative plural is aquas. Accordingly, aquas appears in Latin sentences where “waters” are the direct object or where the verb or preposition requires the accusative case. The form is primarily of scholarly interest today, appearing in classical texts, linguistic discussions, or Latin inscriptions.

In English usage, aquas is rare and typically encountered only in academic contexts or in stylized quotations. It may also appear as part of a proper noun, brand name, or fictional text that borrows Latin forms for effect. The word should not be confused with aguas, the Spanish word for waters, which has different spelling and pronunciation and belongs to a distinct linguistic system. For completeness, aquae remains the nominative plural form in Latin, meaning “waters,” while aquas is the corresponding accusative plural. Understanding aquas thus hinges on basic Latin grammar and case usage, rather than on everyday English vocabulary.
