Piva (f)

(with) definite article: la
Cornamusa

According to Sachs from "piba" [implying?]; Generic term for folk bagpipes of northern Italy; Also: whistle; In Carlo d'Aquino, »Lexici militaris«, pars II (Romæ, MDCCXXIV [i.e. in Roma, 1724]); mentioned as a synonym of Tibia utricularis; According to Baretti, "a pipe, a bag-pipe"; Podnos locates this term, utterly erroneously, in Naples, even referring, rather dubiously, to Baines, who explicitly states that it is a "northern Italian word" (p.99) of "sub-Alpine Italy" (p.111); Jacquot defines it, oddly, as the "Italian name of the bagpipe"; NB¹: ➺ Piua; NB²: ➺ Pivone; NB³: Scupine and Totorosse; NB4: ➺ Phytaule; NB5: ➺ homonym (suonatore); NB6: ➺ Glossocomo.
