That's because bom is (usually) pronounced as [bõ] (don't ask me why). However, in some dialects bom is pronounced [bãw̃]. In fact, sometimes bom is spelled as bão to convey that pronounciation. Could just be a retained spelling? Apparently in Brazilian Portuguese bão does appear as a pronunciation...

Given the evolution of Old Portuguese /õ/ into /ãw̃/, why is good bom and not bão?

Three years since I posted in this thread, wow [O.O] Going forward, here's the schedule for what Boral and Boralverse content I'll be posting: One Boral translation with context (100 words of Boral or more) Three Boral lexicon entries, with etymology and at least one glossed example sentence each O...

Would anyone happen to know of literature about the pragmatic/discourse role of word order in Old French? The sources I've found just acknowledge that different orders exist, without going into any detail on when and why they were used. (Relatedly, I'm also looking into Old French's agreement of th...

Added another word that blocks lenition in the form of the colloquial definite article i'

Another random question, how should I go about referring to /b/ when used as /P/'s unlenited form?

Farm Animals Here are the words for various farm animals in Gallo-Tuscan [:)]. For each grouping the top one is the generic word for the animal while those after are used for gender specific meanings. It's worth pointing out that in Gallo-Tuscan every animal young is feminine. Asen - Donkey (m) Asn...

I wouldn't worry about the ambiguity. It occurred to me the other day that French has sept choses "seven things" vs. cette chose "this thing" and does fine. And I say "yea" to having nò block lenition. I've never noticed that before with French before! I've made the ch...

Icelandic and Greek distinguish /c/ and /k/ only before back vowels. Basque, Czech, and Hungarian distinguish them in all contexts. Is /c/ more front (front palatal) in Basque, Czech, and Hungarian than in Icelandic and Greek (back palatal), to be more easily distinguished? What's sometimes describ...

Hmm it definitely looks Indo-European but I'm not sure if directly from PIE or elsewhere

Looks like directly from English

Hope to see more with this project

Is there some difference between the two that I'm missing?

Whoops! Accidentally repeated that one

Numbers All single syllable numbers when preceding a noun are pronounced as secondarily stressed clitics, and all numbers that end in a consonant sound and do not have a marked impure s form, are followed by the particle <ì> when before "impure s". This is identical to how adjectives work...

Excellent choice in song to cover

Initial /mn bn kn bt bs/ In effort to avoid having to add a minor phoneme /p/ or even an allophone [p] into Gallo-Tuscan, I've decided to reach a sort of compromise between Spanish and Italian with how /mn bn kn bt bs/ <mn pn cn pt ps> are handled in the language. I looked for awhile and could not ...

That's an intriguing twist, pairing po' with negative concord. I didn't even think about that. :wat: Just seemed natural to do it with a negative particularly given "ne que" & "ne guère" in French. I imagine that it would also be seen unnegated when po' appears at the beginn...

Words Preventing Lenition / Demonstratives As of right now there are 7 words which stop the lenition of an intervocalic, word-initial /b t k/ to /f θ h/. More will probably pop up along the way and I'll add them to this post when they do. Before going over them it's important to note that before a ...
