From Proto-West Germanic *uʀgōllju.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /orˈɡɔʎʎu/

Noun

*orgollium m (Proto-Italo-Western-Romance)

pride, arrogance

Reconstruction notes

Germanic /ō/ had an open quality and so was adapted by early Romance speakers as /ɔ/, this word being no exception.^[1] (Cf. French feurre < */ˈfɔdru/ < *fōdr.)^[2] Its reflexes in Catalan, French, and Occitan show normal outcomes of /ˈɔ/ before /ʎ/. For the Occitan variant orgulh, cf. Gascon hulha (“leaf”)^[3]^[4] < Latin fŏlia. For the /ˈɔ~ˈo/ variation in Italian, cf. loglio (< lŏlium), with /ˈɔ/ in the standard but /ˈɔ~ˈo/ in Central Italy.^[5]
