Alternative forms

The forms ligūrio or ligurrio, scaturio or scaturrio, and the two glossarial words vagurrit (=per otium vagatur) and flagurrit (=φλέγει), are not to be regarded as desideratives. They seem to be derived from nouns of the form of tellus, tellūris; compare scaturigo with prurigo from prurio, which must be a derivative from a word like psora, prora, prura or porra (cf. porrigo), analogous to the Greek ψώρα.
