(with the presumed reconstruction being *h₂enk-ur-ya-) but is challenged by Beekes, taking the word as Pre-Greek due to the suffix -ῡρα (-ūra) (usually associated with Pre-Greek substrate words. Compare γέφῡρᾰ (géphūră, “dam, dike”) and γόργῡρα (górgūra, “underground sewer”)) being present. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈaŋ.kɔ.ra] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈaŋ.ko.ra] === Noun === ancora f (genitive ancorae); first declension anchor (tool to keep a vessel from drifting) (figuratively) refuge, support, hope ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === “ancora”, in Charlton T.
