hirtus
Latin edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-Italic *herztos, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰérstos, from *ǵʰers- (“to bristle”), same root as horreo and hordeum.
Pronunciation edit
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈhiːr.tus/, [ˈhiːrt̪ʊs̠] or IPA(key): /ˈhir.tus/, [ˈhɪrt̪ʊs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈir.tus/, [ˈirt̪us]
- Bennett gives a long vowel /iː/ based on the vowel quality of the Romance descendants,[1] but De Vaan omits a macron and gives an etymology that is inconsistent with a long vowel.[2]
