fragum

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *frāgom, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰreh₂ǵ-om, from either *dʰreh₂ǵ- (“berry”) (compare Albanian dredhëz, Sanskrit द्राक्षा (drā́kṣā)) or *sróh₂gs (“grape”) (compare Ancient Greek ῥώξ (rhṓx) (whence Greek ρώγα (róga)), Albanian rrush). The divergent phonetics and semantics of the comparanda suggest a foreign Wanderwort. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈfraː.ɡũː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈfraː.ɡum] === Noun === frāgum n (genitive frāgī); second declension (usually in the plural) strawberry (Fragaria vesca) ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (neuter). ==== Descendants ==== === References === “fragum”, in Charlton T.
