ππππ
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 ΟΟΟΟΞΏΟ (khΓ³rtos).
Noun
