De Vaan accepts this cognate pairing, but notes that the Latin and Celtic terms would have to be borrowed from a substrate language due to phonetic mismatches if the Latin were inherited directly from Proto-Indo-European *plowdʰo- (“lead”). Said substrate may be Etruscan, Iberian, or some other pre-Indo-European Mediterranean language; compare Berber forms such as Tashelhit aldun and Senhaja de Srair andun. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈpɫʊm.bũː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈplum.bum] === Noun === plumbum n (genitive plumbī); second declension lead (metal) ball of lead (poetic) pipe of lead (New Latin) pencil ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (neuter). ==== Synonyms ==== (a ball of lead): plumbea ==== Derived terms ==== plumbum album plumbum nigrum ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === === Further reading === “plumbum”, in Charlton T.
