mùriga

• murga (aulic)
• mùrija
• mùria, muria (simplified, eye dialect)

From the epenthesis of murga, possibly influenced by Spanish murga. Further reconstructions seem morphophonetically irregular, but ultimately derived from Latin amurca and/or from Ancient Greek ἀμόργη (amórgē). Likely an earlier borrowing from another Mediterranean source, which culture used to manage olives. Cognate with Aragonese and Catalan morca, Italian morchia, Spanish morga, murga, Sardinian murga, Venetan morga, Greek μούργα (moúrga).
