I suppose you can either go back in the language's history and determine that whatever leads to hiatus (in this case, loss of medial consonants) will not happen or has not yet happened. Alternatively, wherever it does crop up, you can determine that some new sound will intrude and break up the hiatus. > It would sound good with a v-gilde, This intrusive sound could indeed be a v-glide, and eauvage does have a nice ring to it. Doesn't have to be a V; you could insert some other sound, like eaudage. > but that would make the spelling unfrench. What's unfrench about V? Padraic
