umeo

== Latin == === Alternative forms === hūmeō === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *ūmo- (“wet”), of uncertain origin. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *wegʷ- (“wet; to irrigate; ox”), and compared with Ancient Greek ὑγρός (hugrós, “wet, moist, fluid”), Old Norse vǫkr (“moist, damp, wet”), English weaky. However, Weiss and De Vaan are skeptical of this derivation, and instead derive the word from a Proto-Indo-European *uh₁mo- (“wet”). Cognates would include Lithuanian umas (“quick”), as well as perhaps ūrīna (“urine”) and Sanskrit वार् (vār, “water”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈuː.me.oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈuː.me.o] === Verb === ūmeō (present infinitive ūmēre); second conjugation, no passive, no perfect or supine stems to be moist, wet or damp ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “umeo”, in Charlton T.
