πŒ…πŒπŒ–

Oscan

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *wijā, from Proto-Indo-European *wih₁ehβ‚‚-,[1] from *weyh₁- (β€œto pursue, be strong”).

According to Buck,[2] in Oscan the Proto-Italic first-declension nominative singular ending *-ā changes in quality to a sound similar to [ɔː], which was written as ΓΊ ⟨𐌞⟩ (representing [o]) or, more rarely, u βŸ¨πŒ–βŸ©.
