(_a_) The ending -_ētis_ in the present indicative becomes -ętz
through the analogy of ętz < _ĕstis_.
(_b_) Camęl (also ẹ), candęla (also ẹ), cruzęl, fizęl (also
ẹ), maissęla have ę through the analogy of the suffix -ęl <
-_ĕllus_. In _camel_ the substitution probably goes back to
Vulgar Latin.
(_c_) Many learned words, including proper names, have ę for
ẹ: decręt, Elizabęt, Moysęs, pantęra, requięs, secręt (ẹ),
sencęr.
(_d_) Espęr for espẹr < _spēro_, quęt for quẹt <
_qu_(_i_)_ētum_ are perhaps bad rhymes. Bartolomeo Zorzi, a
Venetian, rhymes -ẹs with -ęs; in Catalan these two endings
were not distinguished.
(_e_) Individual cases: adęs, ‘at once,’ probably from _ad
id ĭpsum_, seems to have been affected by pręs and apręs <
_ad prĕssum_; mostięr < _monastērium_ shows the influence of
_ministĕrium_; nęr nięr (also nẹr nẹgre) < _nĭgrum_ perhaps
shows the influence of entęr entięr and the numerous adjectives
in -ęr -ięr; nęu nięu nęy < _nĭvem_ has been attracted by bręu
gręu, lęu; senęstre (cf. late Lat. _sinexter_) is evidently
influenced by dęstre.
