Romanian

Etymology

From older -ure, from the plurals in -ora of Latin neuter nouns ending in -us (such as tempus, tempora, ancestor of Romanian timp, timpuri). Because the final vowel of Latin -ora was identical in form with the feminine singular ending -a, neuter plural forms ending in -ora were interpreted as feminine; then by analogy with feminine plural forms, the final -a was replaced, first with -e (the feminine plural ending that developed from proto-Romance *-as > *-ai̯ > -e) later with -i (many feminine Romanian nouns such as roată have also replaced an original plural in -e with one in -i). Maiden 2016 suggests that, as an alternative to analyzing -uri as a unitary plural suffix, it is also possible to analyze these plurals as ending in a root extension -ur- followed by the plural ending -i.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /urʲ/
