Etymology[edit]
Seemingly borrowed from Byzantine Greek σαυράκιον (saurákion, diminutive based on σαῦρος (saûros)), with metathesis of /vr/ to /rv/.
The distribution of the Catalan derivative sarvatxo is especially concentrated around Albaida and Alcoy, areas which would have experienced considerable Byzantine influence.
Noun[edit]
*sarvačo m
