πŒ”πŒ–πŒŒπŒ•πŒ–

Umbrian

Etymology

Ultimately from Proto-Italic *emō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁em-. Probably related to Latin sΕ«mō, itself perhaps from earlier *supsemō or *supemō. Buck argues that the Umbrian term cannot be explained from earlier *supsemō and instead requires a pre-form *summō, from earlier *supemō. It is possible that both the Latin and Umbrian term derive from the same pre-form *supemō.
