Origins
- Proto-Indo-European*bʰers-?
- Proto-Indo-European*bʰardʰéh₂
- Proto-Italic*farðā
- Latinbarbātus
Proto-Indo-European *-h₂ Proto-Indo-European *-éh₂ Proto-Indo-European *-tós Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂tos Proto-Italic *-ātos Latin -ātus Latin barbātus By surface analysis, barba (“beard”) + -ātus. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *farðātos. The same formation also occurs in Proto-Balto-Slavic *bardā́ˀtas: both are thus reconstructable back to Proto-Indo-European *bʰardʰéh₂tos (“bearded”). However, De Vaan concedes that both forms may have been separate innovations within their languages.
