Then the merger spread this form to both verbs, and the descendant of attēsum is attis.
That's what I suspected. I did something similar in an earlier version of Silvish. [:D] The change in meaning is unique but believable.



Well, now I've got to try it in my romlang.

It kind of had to happen because the usual ser- stem gets worn down to just s- with my sound changes.

Oh of course! The Boral cognate is removed enough:
sprovar undergo, experience
that I didn't see the connection.
