Reconstruction notes
The first, second, and third person singular (as well as the third person plural) present indicative and subjunctive possibly had */ˈkɔm-/, instead of /ˈkom-/, as the diphthongization expected of original */ˈɔ/ is found in Asturian.[1] In that case, diphthongization would have been counteracted in Castilian by the following /m/ (cf. hombre < hŏminem).
