"alto" meaning in Galician

See alto in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [ˈaltʊ] Forms: alta [feminine], altos [masculine, plural], altas [feminine, plural]
Rhymes: -altʊ, -alto Etymology: From Old Galician-Portuguese alto, from Latin altus. This form is probably semi-learned or influenced by learned orthography, as with Portuguese alto and Spanish alto. Cf. also the now archaic form outo, which was probably popularly inherited from an unattested hypothetical *outo, present also in place names as Montouto (“High-hill”), from the same Latin word (compare also Old Spanish oto).
