According to De Vaan, it is not plausible since a sequence *ks is usually retained in intervocalic Latin, which implies borrowing from an unidentified source. It is possible that the consonant cluster underwent metathesis in a different (IE?) language before the word entered Latin. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈas.ki.a] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈaʃ.ʃi.a] === Noun === ascia f (genitive asciae); first declension an axe a mason's trowel ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. ==== Synonyms ==== (axe): secūris ==== Derived terms ==== *asciāta ascicula asciola ascio ==== Descendants ==== === References === “ascia”, in Charlton T.
