merθɨr in Proto-Brythonic

IPA: /merˈθɨːr/ [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Borrowed from Latin martyr. This cannot regularly reflect an underlying, pre-apocope *martɨr (otherwise **merθr would be expected), so it is likely that the form acquired a Brythonic case ending prior to apocope (compare crux > *cruxsā > *kroɨs). Cognate with Old Irish martar. The second sense may be an independent borrowing from Ecclesiastical Latin martyrium.
