calvus

== Latin == === Etymology === The term may be compared to Sanskrit कुल्व (kulvá, “bald”), itself from Proto-Indo-European *kl̥H-wó-s. However, the sequence *-lw- may yield Latin -ll-, which—according to De Vaan—indicates that the Latin term must derive from earlier *kalVwos, itself from earlier *kl̥H-e/o-wo-. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈkaɫ.wʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈkal.vus] === Adjective === calvus (feminine calva, neuter calvum); first/second-declension adjective hairless, bald ==== Declension ==== First/second-declension adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === “calvus”, in Charlton T.
