VMs: "Terceirus"
Hi all!
?Terceirus? is NOT an Spanish modern word: ?tercero? (the third man or
thing) and ?tercera? (the third woman or thing), but never ?terceirus?,
because the ending ?-us? is a ancient ending lost (for evolution of
language) in the modern Spanish, Portuguese or French.
In Catalonian ?third? is ?tercer? or ?terç? or ?terciari? (ending -us
lost).
In Portuguese ?third? is ?terceiro?, but not ?terceirus?.
IMO ?terceirus? is a evolutionary form of latin ?tertius?, like Koontz?s
letter, maybe a earlier (perhaps medieval?) form or Portuguese word ?
terceiro? (third), yet with the ancient ending ?-us?... but I dont know
perfectly the medieval Portuguese!
A greeting from Spain.
