"finis" meaning in Latin

See finis in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈfiː.nɪs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈfiː.nis] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Disputed. Perhaps for Latin *fignis, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeygʷ- (“to stick, set up”), whence fīgō, or for Latin *fidnis, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (“to split”), whence findō. Other hypotheses include: * From Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyH- (“to strike”); compare perfinēs (“(you would) break, shatter”). * From the same source as Proto-Germanic *bainaz (“straight; ready”) and *bainą (“bone”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyH-n- (“something straight, pole”), which may or may not be from the same root “to strike” above. For the meaning “region”, compare pāgus again from a root meaning “to fix”.

The first instance of fīnibus is an Ablative of Separation governed by the verb prohibent (“keep away from”); the second is an Ablative of Place Where. For comparison, the 1869 translation by W. A. McDevitte and W. S. Bohn: “…when they either repel them from their own territories, or themselves wage war on their frontiers.”)",

The first instance of fīnibus is an Ablative of Separation governed by the verb prohibent (“keep away from”); the second is an Ablative of Place Where. For comparison, the 1869 translation by W. A.
