Reconstruction:Latin/ad id ipsum

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 ad + id + ipsum (tempus).

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /adˈdɛssu/

Reconstruction notes

The replacement of */ˈe/ with */ˈɛ/ may have been by analogy with ad pressum (“near”). The single /d/ in Italian is unexpected and perhaps implies a local *ad ipsum. /dd/ is however required by the Gallo– and Occitano-Romance forms.

Adverb

*ad id ipsum (Proto-Italo-Western-Romance)
