Etymology 1
Borrowed from Ancient Greek Τροίᾱ (Troíā).
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈtroi̯.i̯a/,
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈtro.ja/,
- Per the imperial-era grammarian Terentianus Maurus, the first syllable contains a short vowel; it is heavy because of the following double consonant /jj/. This is consistent with the etymology from the Greek form Τροίᾱ (with a diphthong in the first syllable). Some dictionaries mark the O with a macron as a misleading indication of the heavy scansion of the first syllable.
Proper noun
Troia f sg (genitive Troiae); first declension
