I'm working on C-a word for crazy. I'm pretty sure
there will be a formal word based on L. insanus and
I'm likely to include one based on Ar. lawqa (source
of Sp. loco and Pt. louco) but before I make a
definite choice I'd like to know if anyone out there
knows the etymologies of these --

It. pazzo, Sc. pazzu
Sc. mattu
Ct. boig
Rm. nebun
Rm. smintit

Also, does anyone know the Old Provencal word for this
concept?

Adam
