Etymology

From Proto-Slavic *Litъva, ultimately from Baltic. Attested since 1009 in the Annals of Quedlinburg.

Pronunciation

  • (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈliː.tu.a]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈliː.t̪u.a]
  • Note: As the *i of Proto-Slavic represented a long vowel, and *ъ/ŭ a short one, the lengths of the Latin term are inferred accordingly.
