Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
Hmmmmm...
Is the first or last word from aqua?
Indeed, are any of the source words first-declension nouns?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
Did the first word start with a vowel in Latin?

Can I pass a question? . Technically, the answer is no, but change that produced the a was present in virtually every Romance language

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
If I'm interpreting everything correctly, I thought it was confirmed that the first word began with a vowel:
However, if that's the case, I'm having trouble thinking of what the "change that produced the /a/" and "was present in virtually every Romance language" could be if not /aː/ > /a/.
Is the change in question something that only affected a subset of words, or even just this word, rather than a more general, regular sound change? In other words, is this a case where the attested Classical Latin form begins with a vowel other than /a/, but nevertheless the reflexes of this word "in virtually every Romance language" begin, or at one point began, with /a/?
I may just be overlooking a simple solution or misinterpreting something, of course. qwed117's use of the emoji gives me the feeling that this may be the kind of thing that will end up feeling very obvious in hindsight.

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
You’re onto something, yes. The change in question only affected “this series of words”, at least to my knowledge. The Classical Latin form most certainly doesn’t begin with A or Ā.shimobaatar wrote: ↑25 Oct 2020 00:42However, if that's the case, I'm having trouble thinking of what the "change that produced the /a/" and "was present in virtually every Romance language" could be if not /aː/ > /a/.

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
Did it start with a low or mid vowel in Latin?
