scriptuir

Old Irish

Borrowed from Latin scrīptūra. Compare Middle Irish screptra m pl (“writings, books”).

IPA^(key): /ˈsʲkʲrʲiptuːrʲ/
Although this word is not written with ⟨ú⟩ until Middle Irish, it is probable that it had long /uː/ in Old Irish, as both its Latin etymon and its later descendants have a long vowel.
