Fordvs and Fordicidia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
Fordvs is usually regarded as containing the root of fero bher- ‘carry’; i.e. fordus stands for *foridus ‘pregnant’, like Gr. ϕορóν -óν in medical writers. Its by-form hordus therefore is held to be a dialect form, and was according to that view rightly assigned by Conway, along with some other and quite certain examples of pure Latin f- = dial. h- for I.-Eu. bh- (or dh-), to one of the dialects of the Latinian group; Conway's choice fell upon Faliscan, but that is a different question from the one under discussion.
