Reconstruction:Proto-Italic/hortos

Etymology
From earlier *xortos (to differentiate it from a later form *hortos if the shift */x/ > */h/ in the Italic languages already happened during late Proto-Italic), from, from. De Vaan is suspicious of the o-grade in the Celtic and Greek cognates ( usually demanding the zero grade), believing that the similar o-grade (from ) must have contaminated it.

Noun

 * 1) enclosure
