Umbrian

The spelling of this entry has been normalized according to the principles established by Wiktionary's editor community or recent spelling standards of the language.

Etymology

Cognate with Latin aries (“ram”). 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

erietom m

ram (male sheep)
