[4000Ă2500] [Crosspost] Etymology of âwindowâ
Thereâs a dialect of Neapolitan where the word for âwindowâ is also âventanaâ. Standard is âfenestaâ with common simplification of the /str/ cluster; cf. Neap. nosta âourâ f.s. < Lat. NOSTRA and It. nostra.
in Istria we say âuknoâ âponestraâ and âprozorâ
As a native speaker of Dutch, Iâd much more frequently use the word âraamâ
Arpitan is âfeniĚthraâ [føni:θĘĂŚ] so even though itâs not listed, the region is colored correctly!
