In creating words with the prefix "ad-" I've hit upon a problem. Until now I've operated under the assumption that in proto-C-a "ad-" assimilates to the following consonant but always results in a voiced consonant so that ad- + s = az, ad- + t = ad, ad- + p = ab, etc. That was fun, but I've realized that ad- did not assimilate in this way in Latin so ad- + t = att > at in words that had an ad- prefix in Latin, but ad- + t = ad in words invented in the NAVL (North African Vulgar Latin) stage and thereafter. Does this grate on your linguistic sensabilities? I must admit it concerns me. It seems somewhat unlikely. Adam ===== Il prori ul pa雝veju fi dji atexindu mutu madji fached. -- Carrajena proverb
