• → Mòcheno: barba

 

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈbar.ba/, [ˈbärbä]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈbar.ba/, [ˈbärbä]

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰardʰéh₂ (“beard”). Since PIE *bʰ normally became [f] at the start of a Latin word, the initial [b] calls for some explanation. It is generally attributed to long-distance regressive assimilation in voicing and/or manner of articulation (e.g. *farb- > barb-).

De Vaan reconstructs Proto-Italic *farβā on the assumption that Italian farfecchie is borrowed from a cognate word in another Italic language. If this reconstruction is correct, then the assimilation discussed above must have postdated the common Italic stage.
