Compare the doublet selva and Galician silva. The /i/ is puzzling. Philologist Leite de Vasconcelos felt that the word was not a Latinism and conjectured a term spīna *silvea with the same suffix as ligneus and pīneus, where the close post-tonic vowel would cause the stressed vowel to rise, as in marisma and sirgo. ==== Noun ==== silva f (plural silvas) bramble (any of various thorny shrubs, especially those in the family Rubus) Synonyms: espinheiro, sarça (in particular) blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) Synonyms: amoreira, amora-silvestre, amoreira-silvestre === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Verb ==== silva inflection of silvar: third-person singular present indicative second-person singular imperative === References === === Further reading === “silva”, in Dicionário Aulete Digital (in Portuguese), Rio de Janeiro: Lexikon Editora Digital, 2008–2026 “silva”, in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa (in Portuguese), Lisbon: Priberam, 2008–2026 == Romanian == === Noun === silva f definite singular nominative of silvă == Tok Pisin == === Etymology === From English silver. === Noun === silva silver
