Spanish[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- ayunque (early modern, now obsolete)
Etymology[edit]
From Old Spanish yunque, with metathesis from incue, itself from Vulgar Latin *incŭde, from Latin incūdem.[1] The Old Spanish term, like the Latin etymon, was feminine. In the early modern period, a variant ayunque appeared, due to reanalysis with the article (la yunque > el ayunque), producing the complete change in gender observed in the modern form.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
yunque m (plural yunques)
