Why not -f-?


I should probably have written *josï¿½(p/f)u, really. The variant with
the *-p- clearly underlies Italian "Giuseppe" and Catalan "Josep",
while the variant with the *-f- accounts for Spanish "Josï¿½" etc.

A proto-Romance voiceless bilabial fricative, p\ ??? Or is that toodramatic? I haven't checked my sources at all, here, just speculating ....

Is there a possibility in these Biblical names that learnedspellings/pronunciations are affecting popular usage?


Cheers,
