Atella

Atella

1. adessive singular of Atte

• laelta

From Oscan 𐌀𐌃𐌄𐌓𐌋 (aderl), said to be from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eh₁ter- (“fire”), thus cognate with Umbrian 𐌀𐌕𐌓𐌖 (atru), Oscan 𐌀𐌀𐌃𐌝𐌓𐌉𐌉𐌔 (aadíriis), and Latin ater (“black”),^[1] though Conway dismisses this as a Roman folk etymology due to similarities with ater.^[2]

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [aˈteːl.la]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [aˈt̪ɛl.la]
