curcuvica

Etymology
From, from an older (via syncope of /-ula/ to /-la/ and regular replacement of /tl/ with /kl/, as in  > ), from Latin. Subsequently /l/ changed to /r/ and underwent variable metathesis or deletion on account of the other /r/ in the word. The /f/ found in certain Nuorese variants is likely due to analogy with.

Noun

 * 1)  pumpkin, squash
