## Latin
### Etymology 1

Borrowed with an unspelled /h/ from Punic [script needed] (ḥawe, “live!”, 2sg. imp.), cognate to Hebrew חוה (“Chava, the biblical Eve”), and as avō from Punic [script needed] (ḥawū, 2pl. imp.), from Semitic root ḥ-w-y (live). The form might have been contaminated by Etymology 2, especially as the latter one's long vowel also ended up short via iambic shortening; this would explain the reluctance to spell the aspirate, as well as its interpretation as a verb form. Attested since Plautus.

#### Alternative forms

* have, avo

#### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /ˈha.u̯e/, [ˈhäu̯ɛ]
* (Literary affectation) (Classical Latin) IPA: /ˈa.u̯eː/, [ˈäu̯eː]
* (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /ˈa.ve/, [ˈäːve]
* Note: around the 1st c. a.D., the current pronunciation remained the etymological IPA: /ha.vĕ/, with the long-vowel unaspirated form possible as a literary affectation, or as a poetic license.

#### Interjection

avē̆
* hail, hello, farewell, greetings! (a formal expression of greeting)
    Synonym: (h)avētō
    Aue Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
    Avē̆ atque valē!Hail and farewell! (esp. before a long departure and as a last good-bye to the dead).
    Avē̆ imperātor, moritūrī tē salūtant!Hail, commander, the ones going to their deaths salute you!

##### Usage notes

* Outside of grammarians, the plural (h)avēte is attested only once in Apuleius, who is known for affecting archaisms. This suggests that this greeting didn't usually inflect for number, reflecting its originally being an interjection and not a verbal form; nevertheless, it was eventually widely interpreted as the latter.
* The other verbal forms cited by grammarians are the future imperative avētō tū, ille (“greetings to you, him”) etc., and the infinitive in the circumlocution avēre tē volō (after the same use with valēre and the very rare salvēre).

##### Derived terms

* (h)avētō
* Ave Marīa

#### Noun

ave f (plural aves)
* bird
    Synonym: (especially small birds) pájaro
* (Chile) fowl, poultry

##### Usage notes

* Feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like ave take the singular definite article el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el ave. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al ave, del ave.
    These nouns also usually take the indefinite article un that is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una is also permitted): un ave or una ave. The same is true with determiners algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna, as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g., veintiún/veintiuna).
    However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la, una etc.) must be used: la mejor ave, una buena ave.
* If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used: el ave única, un(a) ave buena.
* In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las, unas etc.) are always used.
* Ave is also the scientific term, while pájaro is used more in common speech for the smaller birds.
