# intervocalic l and n | # intervocalic /l/ and /n/ | ||
Intervocalic /l/ and /n/ are eventually omitted in Galega, either create new diphthongs or following epenthesis rules. While /n/ will cause nasalisation on the preceding vowel, see "vocalisation" for details: | |||
* dolā > dola > doa "meadow" f. (without epenthesis) | |||
* argantīnos > argantino > argançinho "silvern" adj. (without epenthesis) | |||
* salēnos > saleno > saeio "salt" m. (with epenthesis) | |||
* wēlos > welo > veio "modest" (with epenthesis) | |||
# syncope of intervocalic /d/, /g/ | # syncope of intervocalic /d/, /g/ | ||
Intervocalic /g/ first become /ɣ/ by vocalisation and then omitted, either create new diphthongs or following epenthesis rules: | |||
* togos > toɣo > too > to "roof, ceiling" m. (without epenthesis) | * togos > toɣo > too > to "roof, ceiling" m. (without epenthesis) | ||
* | * brigā > bre̝ɣa > brɛa > brèia "hill" f. (with epenthesis) | ||
