However, the details of the etymology are unclear: Perhaps from earlier ine-pro *Meneswā, itself perhaps from ine-pro *menes-wéh₂, which emerged from ine-pro *ménos mind.380-381 Fortson is, however, skeptical of the connection between the name of this goddess and the root ine-pro *men- to think, noting that the deity was worshipped at Etruria before reaching Rome and also that her associations with wisdom postdate her equation with Athena. There is possibly a direct parallel in the form of sa म॒न॒स्विन् manasvín clever, wise, though Fortson doubts the value of the Sanskrit comparison as it is attested at a late date, and belongs to a highly productive type of adjective formation.838-839 Rix has also proposed an Italic sound law whereby ine-pro *-sw- became itc-pro *-rw- already within Proto-Italic, in which case the pre-form should be reconstructed as itc-pro *Menerwā. There is possibly another example in the form of itc-pro *katerwā company, band of people. However, the existence of this rule is contentious, with Fortson citing xum 𐌌𐌄𐌓𐌔𐌖𐌔 mersus (< itc-pro *medeswos not itc-pro *mederwos) as possible counterevidence. The raising of itc-pro *e to la i in Latin is perhaps also irregular, though la minae attests to the same sound change and—according to De Vaan—there are no inherited sequences of la /menV/ in Latin, allowing for the possibility that the phonological development is regular.137 Another hypothesis by Clayton (2024) suggests derivation from la ine-pro *ménwr̥ thought, from the same root above. Clayton proposes that the noun was thematicized to itc-pro *menwr-ā- in pre-Proto-Italic, before then metathesizing into itc-pro *menrwā, which then evolved into itc-ola Menerva. For a possible example of a similar development, see also itc-pro *katerwā, which Clayton alternatively reconstructs as itc-pro *katr̥wā.22 Another theory suggests that the term may derive from la ine-pro *mḗh₁n̥s *méh₁nos- moon. Alternatively, the linguist Ranko Matasović considers it most likely that the name was borrowed from la ett -.61 Pronunciation Proper noun Minerva<1.both> la Roman god en Minerva, goddess of wisdom Declension Minerva<1.both.sg> Coordinate terms la Belisama, la Artemis/la Diana, la Vesta Derived terms la Minervālis Descendants en Minerva 1 ett 𐌌𐌄𐌍𐌄𐌓𐌅𐌀 1 from itc-ola Menerva fr Minerve 1 ja ミネルウァ 1 pt Minerva 1 es Minerva 1 References Portuguese Etymology pt :lbor la:Minerva + 1 Pronunciation Minérva pt Mi ner va Proper noun f pt Roman god en Minerva goddess of wisdom Derived terms pt voto de Minerva See also pt Atena Spanish es: Etymology es :lbor la:Minerva + 1 Pronunciation Proper noun f es Roman mythology en Minerva es female Latin See also es Atenea es Gods Roman deities
