where I stated some rules.
When -ent(u) becames the last syllable, (stressed) /e/ > /1/
and not /i/; a frequent case is the Latin -mentu(m) > -mânt
as in monumentum > mormânt. <-mânt> is productive in Romanian,
see asezãmânt, zãcãmânt, invãTãmânt, etc., for plurals we have
the expected alternance with /i/ in asezãminte, zãcãminte,
invãTãminte. See also ventum > vânt, conventum > cuvânt (pl.
cuvinte; but vânturi, under the influence of closed /u/ from
the last syllable).

just a simply curiosity. We talked about latin "-mentum" and
rom "-mânnt".What about the other latin languages and this
latin suffix in their iherited words? And sure, please do not
forget sardic language, this should be interesting to for
seeing the actualy "mentum" sufix in sardic..
