Reconstruction notes
[edit]Latin and Umbrian display special phonetic developments in this verb.
- Latin has the syncopation of the vowel between rhotic and sibilant with subsequent e-insertion. This development more commonly occurs word-finally, e.g. from *ātros (“black”) to āter and *agros (“field”) to ager.
- Umbrian is more difficult to explain. It shares same the post-rhotic syncope and e-insertion process as Latin (see 𐌀𐌂𐌄𐌓 (acer), from *agros), making the -u- in Umbrian awkward.
- This does not deter De Vaan, however, from claiming that the u (< Proto-Sabellic *-o-) was inserted after post-rhotic syncope instead of expected -e-.
- Nussbaum and Onishi try to derive the Umbrian verb from the zero-grade of the root, which suffers from breaking the morphological norm of causative/iterative verbs taking o-grade in Indo-European. Additionally, this isolates Latin terreō, as one would expect torreō (which coincidentally exists in Latin as a completely unrelated verb) from the zero-grade.
