millor
Catalan
Etymology
From Lua error in Module:etymology at line 150: 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)., from Latin melior, meliōrem, from Proto-Indo-European *mélyōs, from *mel- (“strong, big”).
Pronunciation
- Lua error in Module:ca-IPA at line 1145: In respelling 'millor', 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'.
- Rhymes: -o(ɾ)
