More specifically, the name may represent a compound xve *fugworsso-, itself a compound of ine-pro *bʰewg- to enjoy (whence la fungor to perform) and itc-pro *worssos, the perfect past participle of itc-pro *wertō to turn. Alternatively, Prósper suggests that the second component may have been itc-pro *wort-i-o-, in which case the term would be comparable with la divortium and xve e[-]vortei.39 However, Prósper finds this second possibility less likely. Nevertheless, Prósper suggests that Venetic xve *fugo- was perceived by Celtic scribes in Emona as xve *βug̊wo-, and thus orthographically rendered as la Buq-. On the basis of the proposed Indo-European roots, Prósper suggests that the etymologically means something akin to "turned towards joy."52 Pronunciation la Proper noun Buquorsa<1> f la female Declension Buquorsa<1> References
