"Po" meaning in Italian

See Po in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈpɔ/
Rhymes: -ɔ Etymology: Ultimately from Latin Padus, perhaps borrowed in this form from some Gallo-Italic variety to judge by the loss of /-d-/. On the other hand, should one assume that said loss occurred (irregularly) in Tuscany, the sound-changes from that point onward would be fairly straightforward: /ˈpa.o/ > /ˈpaw/ > /ˈpɔ/. Etymology templates: {{der|it|la|Padus}} Latin Padus, {{der|it|roa-git|-}} Gallo-Italic Head templates: {{it-proper noun|m}} Po m
