Alternative forms

Etymology 1

Borrowed from Ancient Greek Τροίᾱ (Troíā).

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈtroi̯.i̯a/, [ˈt̪rɔi̯ːä]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈtro.ja/, [ˈt̪rɔːjä]
• Per the imperial-era grammarian Terentianus Maurus, the first syllable contains a short vowel; it is heavy because of the following double consonant /jj/. This is consistent with the etymology from the Greek form Τροίᾱ (with a diphthong in the first syllable). Some dictionaries mark the O with a macron as a misleading indication of the heavy scansion of the first syllable.
