๐Œ…๐Œ‰๐Œ๐Œ–

Umbrian

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *wฤซnom, from Proto-Indo-European *wรฉyhโ‚nom.[1] Cognate with Latin vฤซnum n, Ancient Greek ฮฟแผถฮฝฮฟฯ‚ (oรฎnos), ฯฮฟแฟ–ฮฝฮฟฯ‚ m (woรฎnos). Because of the *-oy- of Greek, which can yield -ฤซ- in Latin but not in Umbrian, this was traditionally believed to be a Latin loan.[2]
