Romani

Etymology

(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.) May have developed from Latin somnium. Compare Italian sogno, Istriot sugno, cf. also Romanian somn. Alternatively, pattern of overlap between Romani and Dardic languages may indicate cognate with Phalura sū (“to sleep”), while that same overlap could also be explained by Wasi-Wari contact in what is modern day Afghanistan, with possible cognate Prasuni sǖ (“dream”).

Noun

suno m (plural sune)

1. dream
2. sleep

Synonyms

• lindra

Derived terms
