sorneguer

== Catalan == === Etymology === Derived from sorna, cognate with Spanish and Portuguese sorna, the etymology of which is unknown. It seems to be a non-Catalan word in origin, given the lack of medieval documentation and the fact that it is not a usual word in the popular and archaic varieties; Yet the word sorneguer is so characteristic of Catalan, it seems to favor the catalanity of a hypothetical primitive sorna. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): (Northern) [sur.nəˈɣe̞] IPA(key): (Balearic) [sor.nəˈɣe] IPA(key): (Central) [sur.nəˈɣe] IPA(key): (Valencia) [soɾ.neˈɣeɾ] IPA(key): (Northwestern) [sor.neˈɣe] === Adjective === sorneguer (feminine sorneguera, masculine plural sorneguers, feminine plural sornegueres) snide === Further reading === “sorneguer”, in Diccionari de la llengua catalana [Dictionary of the Catalan Language] (in Catalan), second edition, Institute of Catalan Studies [Catalan: Institut d'Estudis Catalans], April 2007 “sorneguer”, in Gran Diccionari de la Llengua Catalana, Grup Enciclopèdia Catalana, 2026 “sorneguer” in Diccionari normatiu valencià, Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua.
