Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Italic *eΙ£-, from *eΙ£.

Pronunciation

De Vaan provides the following phonemic transcription:

  • IPA(key): /Δ“-/

Buck also considers the Umbrian term to reflect a long /Δ“/ vowel. According to Buck, it the length of the Umbrian term likely stems from secondary lengthening, although the impetus for such a change is unclear. Buck postulates that the lengthening may have occurred when the preposition *ek- was added to terms beginning with *t-. The affixation of *ek- to a term beginning with *t- would have resulted in the sequence *eht-, in which the *-h- would have been weakly sounded and potentially lost.
