Sources and commentaries
- French
- Épeautre is the right name, but Tritcum monococcum being known as petit épeautre, spelt is often called grand épeautre to avoid confusion.
- German
- Spelz (masculine) is spelt, but Spelze (feminine) is a glume. So in German, Spelz tend to designate all hulled wheats (with glumes attached to the grain). This situation may explain the confusion in other languages such as French and Italian.
- Italian
- Farro is a generic name for hulled wheats.
