pergula

pergula (plural pergulas or pergulae)

1. Alternative form of pergola.

• earplug, graupel, plaguer

The origin is uncertain. Has been compared to Lithuanian pérgas (“canoe”), Old Church Slavonic прагъ (pragŭ, “doorpost”), Old Norse forkr (“bar, stick”), but the meanings are too divergent.
