Iuverna

Latin Alternative forms la Iuberna Etymology Variant of the name la Hī̆bernia, la Iverna (Greek grc Ἰ̄έρνη, grc Ἰ̄ουερνία) etc. Pronunciation i.ūverna In Juvenal, "litora Iuuer" scans as a dactyl + spondee, which requires a pronunciation starting with Ĭūver- or Jūver-. Neither pronunciation would preserve the prosody of the Old Irish name, which started with *Īwer-. In accordance with the phonotactics of Ancient Greek (which did not possess consonantal j), word-initial I- + vowel is typically pronounced with hiatus in Latin terms borrowed from Greek, such as la Īō̆nius. jūverna Proper noun Iūverna<1> la historical rare la Hibernia: la Ireland island/and/country r/Western Europe la Pomponius Mela De Chorographia 3.53.1 Super Britanniam Iuverna est paene par spatio la Juvenal Saturae 2.160 litora Iuvernae promovimus et modo captas la Scriptores Historiae Augustae Flavi Vopisci Syracusii Tacitus 16.5.1 litora Iuvernam insulam proconsulem mittat la Faustino Perisauli c. 1480-1524 CE De Triumpho Stultitiae 2 428 Incŏlă Iuvernae postrēmăquĕ littŏră cernat jū or ĭū la Faustino Perisauli c. 1480-1524 CE De Triumpho Stultitiae 2 775 Rursŭs ĕt occĭdŭōs Iuvernae littŏră fīnēs jū or ĭŭ Declension Iūverna<1>
