puer

== English == === Etymology 1 === Perhaps from French puer. ==== Pronunciation ==== (General American) IPA(key): /ˈpju.ɚ/ (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈpjuː.ə/, /ˈpjʊə/ Rhymes: -uːə(ɹ), -ʊə(ɹ) ==== Noun ==== puer (uncountable) (chiefly historical) Dung (of dogs, fowls, etc) used in tanning, after applying lime, to soften skins. === Etymology 2 === From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of 普洱 (pǔ'ěr), without syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號／隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)). ==== Pronunciation ==== (General American) IPA(key): /ˈpʊəɹ/, /ˈpu.əɹ/ ==== Noun ==== puer Alternative form of pu'er. ===== Usage notes ===== Puer can be considered a misspelling of pu'er. In theory, a syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號／隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)) should be added before a non-initial syllable beginning with a, o, or e. Hence, puer is not allowed since a word made up of pu and er would be spelled as pu'er (cf. pu'er). In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will. === Etymology 3 === Borrowed from Latin puer (“boy, lad, child”). ==== Pronunciation ==== (General American) IPA(key): /ˈpu.ɛɹ/ ==== Noun ==== puer (plural puers) Ellipsis of puer aeternus. ===== Coordinate terms ===== puella === Anagrams === Pre-U, pure, Perú, Prue, Peru, reup, re-up, Rupe == French == === Etymology === Inherited from Old French puir (with a change in conjugation), from Vulgar Latin *putīre, from Classical Latin pūtēre (also with a change in conjugation), present active infinitive of pūteō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *puH-. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /pɥe/, /py.e/ Rhymes: -e === Verb === puer (intransitive) to stink, to smell (bad) Synonym: poquer (transitive) to stink of Cet homme pue l’ail. ― That man stinks of garlic.
