INSERTION.

85. The insertion (or addition) of a consonant, in such cases as those

mentioned below, is probably always due to some false association or

wrong etymology, but the specific cause often cannot be ascertained;

the added consonant seems to be generally a liquid or a nasal:--

alhọnd_r_e -s < _aliŭnde_: V. L. ✱_aliŭnder_?

co_n_si = _cossi_ < _eccu’ sīc_: analogy of the prefix _co-_

_con-_. Cf. § 76, (1), nf, ns.

enc_l_utge < _incūdĭnem_: cf. French _enclume_.

e_n_gal = _egal_ < _æquālem_: analogy of the prefix _e-_ _en-_.

Cf. § 76, (1), nf, ns.

i_n_vęrn = _ivern_ < _hibĕrnum_: _hi-_ mistaken for the prefix

_in-_; cf. Italian _inverno_, etc.

par_v_en (hence _parvensa_) < _parĕntem_ (_parēre_): analogy of

_ferven_, _serven_, or of _espaven_, _espavensa_, or influence

of _parui_, etc.?

pe_n_chenar < _pectināre_: analogy of _pencheire_, _penchura_?

perd_r_is = _perditz_ < _perdīcem_: progressive assimilation?

Cf. French _perdrix_.

pǫuze_r_ = _pouze_ < _pŏllĭcem_: confusion with _polgar_ <

_pollicāre_.

ref_r_eitọr = _refeitor_ < _refectōrium_: association with

_refreidar_ (_freit_).

re_n_linquir = _relinquir_ < _relĭnquĕre_: analogy of _e-_

_en-_; cf. _reforsar_ and French _renforcer_.
