According to one hypothesis, it is from the same Proto-Indo-European root as Old High German swigen (“to be silent”) and its West Germanic cognates, possibly a reference to cork being stripped without harming the tree. However, an Indo-European etymology for the Germanic set is disputed; see *swīgā. Alternatively, it may be connected with Ancient Greek σῦφαρ (sûphar, “wrinkled skin”), from a third, perhaps substrate source, with an approximate form *sūbʰ-. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈsuː.bɛr] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈsuː.ber] === Noun === sūber n (genitive sūberis); third declension cork oak, cork-tree cork ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun (neuter, imparisyllabic non-i-stem). ==== Derived terms ==== sūbereus sūberīnus ==== Descendants ==== === References === “suber”, in Charlton T.
