Reconstruction notes
[edit]- Latin lingua may have adopted the word-initial l- from lingō (“to lick”).[1]
- The initial f- in the Oscan forms should imply an original *dʰ-, though De Vaan suggests that the Sabellic term may have undergone secondary remodeling after another word. However, it is unclear exaclty what word could have exerted this analogical pressure.[1]
