Catalan

Etymology

From Lua error in Module:etymology at line 170: Old Occitan (pro) is not set as an ancestor of Catalan (ca) in Module:languages/data/2. The ancestor of Catalan is Old Catalan (roa-oca). (compare Occitan gengiva), from Latin gingīva (compare French gencive, Spanish encía), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵyewh₁-.
