culter

== English == === Noun === culter (plural culters) Obsolete spelling of coulter. === References === “culter”, in Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, Springfield, Mass.: G. & C. Merriam, 1913, →OCLC. === Anagrams === Cutler, Lucret, cutler, reluct == Latin == === Etymology === Uncertain. Explanations include: From a formation equivalent to Proto-Indo-European *(s)kolh₂/₃-trom, from the root *(s)kelH- (“to cut”). From the root *(s)ker- (“to shear, cut off”) to a preform *kor-tro- which has undergone dissimilation */rtr/ > /ltr/. Both of the above etymologies assume a change in the suffix *-trom (and in gender), which otherwise would yield Latin *-trum. Compare Sanskrit कर्त्तृ (karttṛ), Ashkun kāṭi, Kamkata-viri kaṭo, kṭo, Prasuni iti, Tregami kāṭäy, Waigali kaṭä, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kért-tōr. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈkʊɫ.tɛr] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈkul.ter] === Noun === culter m (genitive cultrī); second declension knife Synonym: novācula razor ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (nominative singular in -er). ==== Derived terms ==== cultellus ==== Descendants ==== Aragonese: cuitre, cultre Old French: coltre, coutre French: coutre Italian: coltro, cultro Occitan: cotre Old Spanish: cuitre ⇒ Esperanto: koltro → Old Welsh: cultir Middle Welsh: culldyr, kulldyr Welsh: cwlltr, cwlltwr → Portuguese: cultro → Proto-West Germanic: Old English: culter, cultor, culturMiddle English: culter, colter, coltre, coltur, coulter, cultir, cultour, cultre, cultur, culture, koltre, kulterEnglish: colter, coulter (obsolete culter)Scots: couter, cooter Middle Dutch: couter Dutch: kouter Middle Low German: kolter → German: Kolter === References === “culter”, in Charlton T.
