πŒ„πŒ“πŒ‰πŒ„πŒ•πŒ–

Umbrian

Etymology

Cognate with Latin aries (β€œram”). The initial /e-/ is incompatible with the Latin /a-/, and could be the result of assimilation with the following /-e-/, or a preservation of the original Proto-Indo-European vowel, which in Latin diverged.

Noun

πŒ„πŒ“πŒ‰πŒ„πŒ•πŒ– β€’ (erietu) m

  1. ram (male sheep)
    • TI II.a.6
