Tomarus

A mountain with the same name exists in Berat, Albania, and other places also share a similar name, namely Tomorrica in Skrapar, Τόμαρος (Tómaros) and Illyrian *Temus, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₁s-o-. Altogether suggests a common Illyrian origin. Alternatively related to marr (“obtain, get”) from Proto-Albanian *mar(en)-, thus meaning "obtainer". === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈtɔ.ma.rʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈtɔː.ma.rus] === Proper noun === Tomarus m sg (genitive Tomarī); second declension a mountain in Epirus situated near Dodona ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun, singular only. === References === “Tomarus”, in Gaffiot, Félix (1934), Dictionnaire illustré latin-français, Hachette. “Tomarus”, in William Smith, editor (1854, 1857), A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, volume 1 & 2, London: Walton and Maberly
