gerefaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Allegedly from Proto-West Germanic *garāfijō, but this is unlikely on phonological grounds, since the West Saxon form has /eː/ and the Northumbrian and Mercian forms have /øː/. The Oxford English Dictionary suggests a connection to the second elements of seċġrōf and stæfrōf. By surface analysis, ġe- +‎ rēfa.

発音
