Annotations
[edit | edit source]The word grave is derived from the Latin "gravis" (heavy), itself a translation of the Greek "barys" (βαρύς). In English the word is normally pronounced "grahv", IPA /ɡɹɑːv/, not like "grave" meaning serious or a tomb. In French it is pronounced similarly: accent grave /aksɑ̃ ɡʁav/.
