I'm probably missing something obvious, but can anyone tell me the
origin of Old French "anquenuit," Old Provencal "ancuei" and (I

Meyer-Lübke doesn't list it, which may mean that he didn't
have a clue...


I took a quick look my REW and _did_ find some forms like those Eamon
quoted in the index; Meyer-Lübke seems to relate these to "hodie". But 
I was checking very early in the morning, before my coffee ;), and I
couldn't quite suss the relationship from the "hodie" entry.


Oh, surely it must be "hanc hodie"?
