vatax
Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *wat- (“curved”). Cognate with vatius (“bow-legged”), Proto-Germanic *waþwô (“curve, bend; calf of the leg, knee”).
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈu̯a.taːks/, [ˈu̯ät̪äːks̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈva.taks/, [ˈväːt̪äks]
Usage notes
The orthography was emended to vatrāx because it was supposedly derived from βάτραχος (bátrakhos, “frog”). It appears under this spelling in Lewis and Short.
