grús

See also: grus, Grus, and Gruß

Irish

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin grūs.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /ɡɾˠuːsˠ/

Noun

grús m (genitive singular grúis, nominative plural grúis)

crane (bird of the family Gruidae)

Usage notes

Somewhat of a technical term. The usual word for ‘crane’ is corr, but since that word also means ‘heron’ and ‘stork’, the Latin word grūs was pressed into service as an unambiguous word for ‘crane’.
