mórálus
Old Irish
Alternative forms
- mórólus
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ˈmoːraːlus]
Note: This word is never written with acute accents in manuscripts. The long vowels are assumed on the basis of the Latin etymon mōrālis; however, the modern Irish cognates morálta, moráltach etc. have a short o, so it possible the o was already short in Old Irish. DIL standardizes the spelling as morálus[1] while Strachan standardizes it as mórálus.[2]
