πŒŠπŒ–πŒ“πŒ€πŒ‰πŒ€

Umbrian

Etymology

Probably a denominative to a noun borrowed from Latin cura, from Proto-Italic *kʷoizā, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷeys-.

The ending -πŒ€πŒ‰πŒ€ (-aia) is unusual, as Umbrian lost intervocalic yod. Poultney suggests that the yod may have been added under the influence of other subjunctive forms in which the -πŒ‰ (-i) was preserved following consonants.
