Umbrian

Alternative forms

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *emō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁em-.

Verb

πŒ„πŒŒπŒ€πŒπŒ•πŒ–πŒ“ β€’ (emantur) (3rd person plural present passive subjunctive) (early Iguvine)

  1. to accept

Usage notes

The term retained the original sense of "to take" in the Iguvine tablets. However, one minor Umbrian inscription contains the participle form emps in the sense of "to buy," which is closer to the Latin meaning. Buck attributes this development to Latin influence.
