brigantes

== Latin == === Etymology === Found in Gallo-Latin, probably related to Proto-Celtic *wrigants f (“vermin”). Pokorny suggests Proto-Indo-European *wr̥mis (“worm”), but Matasović dismisses the similarity as "probably accidental" and instead suggests a non-Indo-European substrate. According to MacBain, from Proto-Indo-European *wreyḱ- (“to bend, twist”), similar to English wry. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [brɪˈɡan.teːs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [briˈɡan.tes] === Noun === brigantēs m pl (genitive brigantum); third declension A species of small worm in the eyelashes ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun, plural only. === References === “brigantes”, in Charlton T.
