Etymology 1

[edit]

Borrowed from Ancient Greek Τροίᾱ (Troíā).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈtroi̯.i̯a/, [ˈt̪rɔi̯ːä]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈtro.ja/, [ˈt̪rɔːjä]
  • Per the imperial-era grammarian Terentianus Maurus, the first syllable contains a short vowel; it is heavy because of the following double consonant /jj/.[1] This is consistent with the etymology from the Greek form Τροίᾱ (with a diphthong in the first syllable). Some dictionaries mark the O with a macron as a misleading indication of the heavy scansion of the first syllable.
