μορφή
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Unknown. Many attempts have been made to connect it with Latin forma (see there for theory of its origin), but the proposed relationship is problematic. Possibly of Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. origin.
