eraile

== Basque == === Etymology === Uncertain, might be from erail (“to kill, to murder”) +‎ -le or from the obsolete verb ero (“to kill”). However, according to Azkue, erail +‎ -le would have given *eraitzaile (compare hiltzaile (“murderer”) from hil). Instead, he argues for an unattested verb *eran with the same meaning as erail. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): (Navarro-Lapurdian) /eɾai̯le/ [e.ɾai̯.le] IPA(key): (Southern) /eɾaʎe/ [e.ɾa.ʎe] Rhymes: -ai̯le, -e Rhymes: -aʎe, -e Hyphenation: e‧rai‧le === Noun === eraile anim murderer, killer Synonym: hiltzaile ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “eraile”, in Euskaltzaindiaren Hiztegia [Dictionary of the Basque Academy] (in Basque), Euskaltzaindia [Royal Academy of the Basque Language] “eraile”, in Orotariko Euskal Hiztegia [General Basque Dictionary], Euskaltzaindia, 1987–2005
