anderuacose

Umbrian

Etymology

Unknown. The term may be an ablative singular compound of ander- + *uacose, itself possibly from Proto-Italic *wakos and cognate with Latin vacātiō. Alternatively, it may be a a compound of ander- + the nominative singular form *uacos (itself from Proto-Italic *wakēto-, ultimately Proto-Italic *wakos) + se. The equivalent Latin formation, assuming the second explanation is accurate, would thus be "vacātiō sit."

Verb

anderuacose (3rd person singular present subjunctive) (late Iguvine)

  1. The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include: to possibly be an intermission, interruption
