Is it laruam or largum?

Was Lat -gu- > -gw- > -v-?

Is this true:

-a- > -ou-

If Lat -w- and short -u- can not > -v-, can some other sound > -v-?

Are any Lat sounds deleted in the process of going from Lat > Romance?

If you're asking if the v was derived from a Latin sound other than <V>, [tick]
