AnagramsEdit

LatinEdit

EtymologyEdit

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“spike, prickle”) (compare Welsh bara (“bread”), English barley, Serbo-Croatian brȁšno (“flour”), Albanian bar (“grass”), Ancient Greek Φηρῶν (Phērôn, “plant deity”)).

PronunciationEdit

The nominative-accusative singular form scans as a long syllable in Ovid (cited below). Therefore, some sources mark the vowel in this form as long (fār), but an alternative explanation is that despite being spelled with a single letter r, this word form was pronounced with the underlying geminate /rr/ of the stem when the following word started with a vowel.[1]

NounEdit

far n (genitive farris); third declension

  1. farro, a type of hulled wheat. (Most likely emmer (Triticum dicoccum or Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccon) but often mistranslated as spelt (Triticum spelta)) [2] [3]
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 1.338:
      Ante, deos homini quod conciliare valeret, / far erat et puri lucida mica salis.
      Of old, the means to win the goodwill of the gods were far and sparkling grains of pure salt.
      ― Fay Glinister, “Festus and Ritual Foodstuffs” p. 220
  2. coarse meal; grits

DeclensionEdit

Third-declension noun (neuter, imparisyllabic non-i-stem).
