Convergenza toponimica: la radice *alb- nel toponimo Alba e nelle denominazioni delle "Città d'acqua" [Toponymic Convergence: The *alb- Root in the Place Name Alba and in the ‘Water Towns’ Names]. Alba Pompeia: Rivista semestrale di studi storici, artistici e naturalistici per Alba e territori connessi, XXXIV(2), 44-60. | Series/Report no.: | Alba Pompeia: Rivista semestrale di studi storici, artistici e naturalistici per Alba e territori connessi = Alba Pompeia: Semiannual Journal for Historical, Artistic, and Naturalistic Studies for Alba and Its Territory | Abstract: | Palaeo-Ligurian place-names of the type Alba, Old European river names Albis and the like, as well as their ablauting forms Olb- (> Orb- in Romance Ligurian) do not reflect directly Proto-Indo-European adjective *albho- ‘white’; rather, they all continue a Pre-PIE extended root *Hal-bh- ‘water’ cognate with Sumerian halbia (> Akkadian halpium ‘well, water mass, water hole’). A further analysis of *Hal-bh- leads to a comparison with PIE root *Hal- ‘nourish’. PIE suffixed form *HwaH-r- ‘water’ exhibits a similar diffusion. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/80383 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/43817 |
