листва; листья
noun Etymology: Middle French fuellage, from foille leaf — more at foil 1. a representation of leaves, flowers, and branches for architectural ornamentation 2. the aggregate of leaves of one or more plants 3. a cluster of leaves, flowers, and branches • foliaged adjective Usage: The disyllabic pronunciation [ˈfō-lij] is very common. Some commentators insist that foliage requires a trisyllabic pronunciation because of its spelling, but words of a similar pattern such as carriage and marriage do not fall under their prescription. The pronunciation [ˈfȯi-lij] is disapproved because it suggests the transposition of the l and i in the spelling. It is not as common as [ˈfō-lij] and may be associated with the nonstandard spelling foilage.
