Latin
Etymology
Since Pokorny, traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dʰH- (“to disappear”), and connected with affatim, fatīscō, fatīgō, fessus, as well as Old Irish ded- (“to vanish”), Old Norse dási (“slow”), and English daze. However, de Vaan rejects this etymology, considering the forms and semantics as too vague, and leaves the origin open.[1]
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈfa.meːs/, [ˈfämeːs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈfa.mes/, [ˈfäːmes]
