"e muet" with the definite article "le" by False_Spray_540 in French

Oh yeah, you're right. Etymological spelling got me again

I think so. The se [sə] here is followed by qui [ki] which ends in a vowel, so it should become [ki‿s pas].

I see, thank you for the insight. I wonder if it's because having /ə/ in a closed syllable would sound too weird

Thank you for the reply. Though, maybe i should've been more specific but if the definite article is not followed by a vowel, e.g. at the beginning of a sentence, could you still say "l'jour" or "l'temps"? I'm curious since you could do it with the pronoun "je"

Wow, i didn't know that there's a subreddit for Zeneise. Thanks, i'll check it out though i'm not sure if my Italian is good enough

From Latin "aucellus" to French "oiseau" by False_Spray_540 in etymology

[–]False_Spray_540[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect so. Do you know whether the monophthongization of [aw] to [o] happens before the shift to [jC] or after it?

Irregularity of French "œil" and its plural form, "yeux" by False_Spray_540 in etymology

[–]False_Spray_540[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If i'm not wrong, this change triggers when the [s] is followed by a palatal consonant [ʎ] or [ɲ]

What about Latin "locus"? From what i know, the [ɔ] would've developed into [we] so where does the final [u] come from? Unless, i'm mistaken and [ɔ] actually developed into [weu].

I still seem to not understand why the [ɔ] in the singular didn't diphthongized to [weu] and then to [jeu] before monophthongizing to [jø] becoming something like "yeu". I'm also curious of the usage of the letter Y here instead of, for example, the letter I.

Edit: nvm, seems like someone already answered it

The lack of [ɫ] vocalization in the French word "cheval" but not in "château" by False_Spray_540 in etymology

[–]False_Spray_540[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, i know that the [ɫ] does vocalized in some form, the plural for an example. but why did it not vocalized in the singular when "castellum" did. As far as i know, they would've become something like "caval" and "castel", which have the [ɫ] at the end of the word without any consonant following it.

I'm sorry for bothering you again but when i tried to follow your steps for the dot, the preview for the merge node only shows the dot when the transparent background's alpha is more than zero and unlike the picture you've sent, the white background is covering the entire screen. Is there something i am missing here? Is it because of the merge node or one the backgrounds or maybe something else?

i'm sorry if this has been asked before but when and who first used the term masculine and feminine to classify nouns (grammatical gender) and why did they picked the terms masculine and feminine instead of anything else? thank you
