ercisco

== Latin == === Alternative forms === hercīscō === Etymology === From an earlier form *ercō, ercīre; -scō. The term *ercō is probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₁erk- (“to divide”), cognate with Hittite [script needed] (ark-). According to the LIV, the term may derive from a PIE verb *h₁r̥k-yé-ti, although De Vaan suggests that such a PIE form ought to yield **arc-. Instead, De Vaan suggests that the term may reflect Proto-Indo-European *h₁érk-ye-ti. The spelling with initial h is by influence of the unrelated hērēs (“heir”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ɛrˈkiːs.koː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [erˈt͡ʃis.ko] === Verb === ercīscō (present infinitive ercīscere); third conjugation, no perfect or supine stems (transitive) to divide (an inheritance) ==== Usage notes ==== Usually found in the gerundive ercīscendus or (more often) ercīscundus. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Related terms ==== (h)erctum === References === “ercisco”, in Charlton T.
