Noun

l pinguis

  1. (Latin) dark l
    • Wolf records several Barbaricine toponyms ending in unaccented -́al-. This is unlikely to go back to Latin, as in Latin unstressed short vowels in open syllables were largely reduced to -i in open syllables, or to -u before l pinguis.2025, Cid Swanenvleugel, The Pre-Roman Elements of the Sardinian Lexicon, page 437
