I removed the following from the Latin etymology section:

Alternatively, from the roots {{term||ús|sow}} and {{term||ibro|wild boar}}.<ref>Minton Warren, ''Amer. Jour. of Phil'', vol. v, no. 4</ref>
<!-- roots from which language? "ibro" Latin? "ús" = Latin "sus"? -->

All I can think of here is Ancient Greek ὗς (hûs, sow) for "ús" and the PIE ancestor of Latin aper, PGmc *eburaz, and OCS вєпрь (veprĭ) for "ibro", but it looks pretty farfetched anyway. Minton Warren died in 1907, so his etymologies are probably hopelessly outdated by now anyway. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:01, 28 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
