eregʷ(h)o-, erogʷ(h)o-

    eregʷ(h)o-, erogʷ(h)o-

    English meaning: pea

    Deutsche Übersetzung: “Erbse, Hũlsenfrucht”

    Material: Gk. ὄροβος m. (from *ἔροβος after gen. etc. ὀρόβου); compare however, W. Schulze Kl. Schr. 81), ἐρέβινθος m. (Asia Minor suffix proves not exactly such origin, there in plant names also, otherwise, seeming, thus in λέβινθοι ἐρέβινθοι Hes.) “ chickpea “; Lat. ervum n. “ a kind of pulse, the bitter vetch “ (from *erou̯om, *eregʷ(h)om or *erogʷ(h)om); O.H.G. araweiz, arwiz, Ger. Erbse, O.S. er(iw)it, M.L.G. erwete, N.Ger. erwten pl., O.N. ertr f. pl. (dat. ertrum) ds. (-ait probably pure suffix); but M.Ir. orbaind “grains” stands for *arbainn, older arbanna (above S. 63). Probably borrowings from a common, probably east-mediterranean origin, from which derives also O.Ind. aravindam “ lotus “.
