πŒ‡πŒžπŒ“πŒ†

Oscan

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *hortos, from Proto-Indo-European *Η΅Κ°Γ³rtos.[1]

The nominative singular shows the regular syncope of -os > -s in Oscan second-declension masculines.[2] The ending -z represents /ts/, so the form has the expected masculine nominative ending -s.

Cognate with Latin hortus, Ancient Greek Ο‡ΟŒΟΟ„ΞΏΟ‚ (khΓ³rtos).

Forms marked with an asterisk (*) are assumed based on the second declension of the Oscan language. When Oscan is transliterated into Latin script, ΓΊ is used to signify an "o" sound, while Γ­ signifies a close "e".
