Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *lewǵ- (“to break, injure”) with a semantic shift to “be in pain” in the stative. Cognate with Ancient Greek λευγαλέος (leugaléos), λυγρός (lugrós), Sanskrit रुजति (rujati, “to break open, shatter, injure, cause pain”), Latvian lauzt (“to break, fracture”). Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *(s)lewg- (“to gulp, swallow, gasp”); compare Old Irish loingid (“to eat”) and Ancient Greek λύζω (lúzō, “to hiccup; to sob”), λυγγανώμενον (lunganṓmenon, “sobbing”), λυγμός (lugmós, “the hiccups”).[1] In either case it may be influenced by onomatopoeia.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈluː.ɡe.oː/, [ˈɫ̪uːɡeoː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈlu.d͡ʒe.o/, [ˈluːd͡ʒeo]
Verb
[edit]lūgeō (present infinitive lūgēre, perfect active lūxī, supine lūctum); second conjugation
Conjugation
[edit]- Note that there is a disagreement over whether or not there is a macron on the third and fourth principal parts for the first syllable and for the subsequent verb forms from these (lūxī for luxī and lūctum for luctum).
