Latin sambūcum (elderberry)

This has no entry, but is listed as a translation on elderberry (fruit), which also has to be verifiable. I can find sambūcus for the tree, but nothing related to the fruit from it. —Rua (mew) 16:07, 8 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Lewis and Short at Perseus has it in the entry for sambūcus, but apparently not findable by their regular search. Chuck Entz (talk) 16:33, 8 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
RFV-passed. I have created the term with that quote. Funny enough, it is in Helmreich’s text sabūcum and in the PHI online edition sambūcum, which makes two words attested with the same word in the same text (however it’s on the level of normalization and I would say so even if there weren’t both since there is no reason to assume that there was only sabūcum but no sambūcum or only sambūcum but no sabūcum.
