Inherited from Old Catalan paor, from Latin pavōrem. Attested from the 12th century.[1] Compare Occitan paur, French peur.

Pronunciation

  • Lua error in Module:ca-IPA at line 1145: In respelling 'pór', final -r by itself or in -rs is ambiguous except in the verbal endings -ar or -ir, in the nominal or adjectival endings -er(s) and -[dtsç]or(s). In all other cases it needs to be rewritten using one of 'rr' (pronounced everywhere), '(rr)' (pronounced everywhere but Balearic) or '(r)' (pronounced only in Valencian). Note that adjectives in -ar usually need rewriting using '(rr)'; nouns in -ar referring to places should be rewritten using '(r)'; and loanword nouns in -ir usually need rewriting using 'rr'.
