πŒπŒ„πŒ“πŒ€πŒŠπŒ“πŒ„

Umbrian

Etymology

Uncertain.

  • De Vaan categorizes this term as another inflected form of πŒπŒ„πŒ“πŒ€πŒŠπŒπŒ„ (perakne).
  • Poultney and Buck treat it as a separate adjective. Poultney suggests that it may derive from Proto-Italic *per-āk-ri-, itself from Proto-Italic *ākris. In this case, the term could be compared to Latin peracer, thoughβ€”according to the linguist Frank Heidermannsβ€”the divergent meanings of the Latin and Umbrian terms suggest that they are instead innovations of each language.
