Romanian

Etymology

Probably from Vulgar Latin pulla, feminine form of Latin pullus (“offspring, child, cub, chick, etc.”). Compare Aromanian pulã, Catalan and Spanish polla, also Dalmatian pula. An alternate, and less likely, etymology derives it from a Vulgar Latin root *pūbula, from pūbes.

Although the plural form pule is that which would be found in a dictionary, puli and the other forms based on this plural are more common in spoken language, in part due to the odd sounding duplication of the /e/ sound in pulele.
