hirnea

Latin

Etymology

Unknown. Related to erneum (“a kind of pie”), but further connections are uncertain. Maybe related to Hindi घड़ा (ghaṛā, “jug”) or from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰer- (“to enclose”).[1] It may also be connected with Pre-Samnite ιρνενι(α) (irneni(a)), although the linguist Matteo Calabrese doubts this connection.[2]
