Latin edit

Etymology 1 edit

 
English Wikipedia has an article on:
Wikipedia

Borrowed with an unspelled /h/ from Punic [script needed] (ḥawe, “live!”, 2sg. imp.), cognate to Hebrew חוה (“Chava, the biblical Eve”), and as avō from Punic [script needed] (ḥawū, 2pl. imp.), from Semitic root ḥ-w-y (live). The form might have been contaminated by Etymology 2, especially as the latter one's long vowel also ended up short via iambic shortening; this would explain the reluctance to spell the aspirate, as well as its interpretation as a verb form. Attested since Plautus.

Alternative forms edit

Pronunciation edit

  • (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈha.u̯e/, [ˈhäu̯ɛ]
  • (Literary affectation) (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈa.u̯eː/, [ˈäu̯eː]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈa.ve/, [ˈäːve]
  • Note: around the 1st c. a.D., the current pronunciation remained the etymological IPA(key): /ha.vĕ/, with the long-vowel unaspirated form possible as a literary affectation, or as a poetic license.[1]

Interjection edit

avē̆

  1. hail, hello, farewell, greetings! (a formal expression of greeting)
    Synonym: (h)avētō
    Avē̆ atque valē!
    Hail and farewell! (esp. before a long departure and as a last good-bye to the dead).
    Avē̆ imperātor, moritūrī tē salūtant!
    Hail, commander, the ones going to their deaths salute you!
Usage notes edit
  • Outside of grammarians, the plural (h)avēte is attested only once in Apuleius, who is known for affecting archaisms. This suggests that this greeting didn't usually inflect for number, reflecting its originally being an interjection and not a verbal form; nevertheless, it was eventually widely interpreted as the latter.
  • The other verbal forms cited by grammarians are the future imperative avētō tū, ille (“greetings to you, him”) etc., and the infinitive in the circumlocution avēre tē volō (after the same use with valēre and the very rare salvēre).
