φέρβω
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Beekes, an agricultural term without etymology.[1] Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *bʰergʷ-, if Latin forbea reflects a true Italic cognate rather than a borrowing from Ancient Greek φορβή (phorbḗ) or an unattested relative thereof.[2]
