On Cutlery

We’ve spoken about some interesting and apparently “inexplicable” names in France here.  How did Perunnes become Perunnes?  But here is another interesting fact.  The word for “fork” in Italian is forchetta.  But in Venetian it is piron.  This is supposedly derived from Greek where fork is πιρούνι (piroúni).  Even if that is the case, isn’t it strange?
