Adverb

ter (not comparable)

thrice, three times
- 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.690-691:
  Ter sēsē attollēns cubitōque adnīxa levāvit,
  ter revolūta torō est [...].
  Lifting herself three times, [Dido] had tried to raise upon her elbow, and thrice she had rolled back upon the bed [...].
- 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 5.247–248:
  ‘ter voluī prōmittere opem, ter lingua retenta est:

  Olafur Ragnar Grimsson ter iam primarius minister Islandiae electus est.
  Olafur Ragnar Grimsson has been elected as the president of Iceland for a third time.

- 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.509–511:
  Stant ārae circum, et crīnēs effūsa sacerdōs

  tergeminamque Hecatēn, tria virginis ōra Diānae.
  Altars are standing all around [the pyre], and the priestess — with her hair flowing — thunders from her lips thrice a hundred gods’ [names]: Erebus and Chaos, triform Hecate, [and] the three faces of virgin Diana.
  (The priestess who invokes “ter centum” deities may be calling three hundred gods, 100 gods three times, or “hundreds of” or “a great many,” and some of the named gods have tri-part symbolism. Threes have special significance in myth, folklore and ritual; see: Lease, Emory B., The Number Three, Mysterious, Mystic, Magic. Classical Philology, Jan., 1919, Vol. 14, No. 1, pp. 56-73.)

Usage notes

Ter is a prefix or suffix designating the third instance of a thing, thus following bis (“second”) and preceding quater (“fourth”).

ter

singular imperative of teran

Old Prussian

Etymology

Perhaps cognate to Lithuanian and Latvian te (“here!, here you are!”),^[1]^[2] or to the related Lithuanian prefix te-,^[1]^[3] which can either express the hortative mood — as in tedirba, "may he work" — or, more pertinently, the meaning "only" — as in teturiu, "I have only". Possibly more distantly related to Russian тепе́рь (tepérʹ, “now”)^[1]^[2] and to Ancient Greek τῆ (tê, “here!”).^[4]

Alternatively, the Prussian morpheme -er- may be functionally equivalent to Latvian -ik-, Lithuanian -ik-, -iek-. For example, er (“until”) parallels Lithuanian iki, ik, and erains (“everyone”) parallels Latvian ikviens. Under this hypothesis, ter would be composed of t- (demonstrative prefix) + -er (suffix denoting extent), and thus be equivalent to Lithuanian tik (“only”) or tiek (“that much”).^[5]^[6]

Adverb

ter

The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include: 1. only, merely; 2. than, other than.
ter ains ― alone (literally, “only one”)
- 1561, Martin Luther, translated by Abel Will & Paul Megott, Stas Likuts Catechismus, →OCLC, page 115, line 25:
  bhe kai ſteſmu nimaſſi kittawidin pogalbton boūt / ter kai tans praſtan Crixtiſnan is Deiwan naunagimton
  and that he may not be helped in any other way / [only; other than] that he was born new through baptism out of God

Usage notes

In the Old Prussian corpus, this only occurs one time outside of the combination ter ains; see the quotation above. In the original German text of the Catechism, the word denn (“than”) was used:

vnnd das jhm nicht anders geholffen werden moͤge / denn das es durch die Tauffe auß Gott Newgeboren

and that he may not be helped in any other way / than that he was born new through baptism out of God

Accordingly, Nesselmann glosses ter as als (“than”),^[7] which has displaced denn in this sense in modern German. However, there are good reasons to think that it may literally mean "only", discussed in the etymology above, and this is the meaning assumed by Fraenkel,^[1] Endzelīns,^[3] and Mažiulis.^[8]^[9] Schmalstieg mentions both potential meanings.^[2]
