No, although most words which had it dropped the _g_ already in classical times. There are _gnarus, gnatus, gnavus_ sometimes so spelled, and _gnosco, gnotus_ very seldom so spelled, except in _cogno..., igno..._, always so spelled. Finally there's _Gnaeus/Cnaeus/Cn._ always so spelled. Perhaps there are a few more. For Romance purposes all of these, including CONOSCERE, will admittedly have /n/- -- except _Gnaeus_ which went obsolete. On 2012-02-23 08:07, Peter Collier wrote:
