verber

== Danish == === Noun === verber n indefinite plural of verbum == Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *wer(β/b)os, from Proto-Indo-European *werb(h)-os, from Proto-Indo-European *werb(h)-. Perhaps related to Lithuanian vir̃bas (“rod, twig, cane”), Proto-Slavic *vьrba (“willow”). According to Adams, the term may derive from the same root *werbʰ- (“to enclose”), whence also Tocharian B wārp- (“to surround”), though Kloekhorst considers the Latin cognates to be semantically distant. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈwɛr.bɛr] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈvɛr.ber] === Noun === verber n (genitive verberis); third declension (chiefly plural only) (rare) lash, whip, scourge, rod [first attested in Plautus] Synonyms: flagrum, corium, lōrum, habēna, flagellum, scutica (usually singular) a thong of a sling or other similar projectile weapons Synonym: lōrum (poetic) Coordinate term: nervus Holonym: funda (transferred senses): a stroke with a whip, a lashing, scourging, flogging, beating, etc. Synonym: plāga (of inanimate things, chiefly poetic) stripes, strokes, blows etc. (e.g., of wind, water, etc.) (figurative) strokes, blows, lashes (e.g., of fortune, against one's integrity, etc.) ==== Usage notes ==== The nominative, dative, and accusative singular are classically unattested. ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun (neuter, imparisyllabic non-i-stem). ==== Derived terms ==== verberō ==== Related terms ==== verbēna === References === === Further reading === “verber”, in Charlton T.
