παλαβός
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Multiple theories exist. Either from Ladino פאלאברה/palavra (“word; boastful talk”) through an unattested intermediate form *παλάβια (*palábia), or alternatively related to Pontic Greek παλαλός (palalós) which is from ἀπολωλός (apolōlós), participle of Koine Greek ἀπόλλυμι (apóllumi, “to vanish, to slip away”). A relation to dialectal Aeolic Greek παλαός (palaós) has also been suggested.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /pa.laˈvos/
Noun
[edit]παλαβός • (palabós) m (feminine παλαβή, neuter παλαβόν); first/second declension
