Verbs:
- Annitor, -niti, -nixus: to lean upon - also innitor
- Inclino, -are, -avi, -atus: to cause [something] to lean - also acclino
- Incumbo, -ere, -cubui, -cubitus: to recline, to lean
- Reclino, -are, -avi, -atus: to lean [something] back
The -clino verbs are in general transitive (i.e. they take an object), but can be used reflexively to convey the sense of the English intransitive "lean". E.g., "I leaned back in my chair" would be me reclinavi in sella mea, literally "I leaned myself back . . .". Inclino can be used intransitively (no object) to mean "lean" in the sense of "incline [towards an opinion, a candidate, etc.]".
Adjectives:
- macer, -cra, -crum: lean, meager
- strigosus, -a, -um: lean, thin, lank
