Reconstruction:Latin/praecunctare
 |
This Latin entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence. |
Latin
Etymology
From Classical percontārī (“inquire, interrogate”), altered by contamination with the prefix prae- as well as the verb cūnctārī.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /preɡunˈtar/
Reconstruction notes
Some of the descendants show a return of /r/ to its original position. That this is a secondary development is demonstrated by the fact that original /k/ experienced intervocalic lenition everywhere.
