cortinha

Old Galician-Portuguese

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /koɾˈtiɲa/

Etymology 1

    Inherited from Late Latin cōrtīna (“bit of enclosed land”).

    As no modern descendant has */n/,[1] the medieval attestations with single ⟨n⟩ may merely reflect orthographic confusion with etymology 2, which did have a genuine /ɲ~n/ variation.
