Occitan

edit

Etymology

edit

From Old Occitan cortina, from Late Latin cōrtīna (“curtain”).

Pronunciation

edit

Noun

edit

cortina f (plural cortinas)

  1. curtain

Old Galician-Portuguese

edit

Etymology 1

edit

From Late Latin cōrtīna (“curtain”).

The form with /ɲ/ ⟨nh⟩ represents the regular native outcome. The form with ⟨n⟩ /n/ appears to reflect influence either from Old Spanish cortina or the original Latin. Either way, it provided a means of avoiding homophony with etymology 2.
