I did not sustained that "ieri" should be substratual; I am aware of the
Latin words which form _and_ semantic aspect can be found just in Latin.
But since you speak about "h" here which is dropped in Romance , the
Rom. "h" is said to have been brought back in the language by Slavs.
Here some onomatopoea and derivatives which should exist just because
they have been brought by Slavs. I guess there is no need for
translation into english for our coleague who understand a Slavic
language:
hap, haT, hau, a hãui, hãu, huo, hop, hãis, hohot,a hãuli,a hori, hârS
Some words which are not supposed to derive from imediately
recogniscible onomatopea:
hranã, har, harancã, habanã, habocã, hachiTã, harchinã, hartan, a
hurduca, a hurdui, horã, habã, heaTã, horoi, hoT, hudrã, huhurez
(huhureazã),
the same it is said about the "j" which is seen as the Old Slavic "z^".
I give here mixed words (etymologicaly)
jale, jar, jneapãn, a juca, a jura, judeT, jug, a înjunghia, a jindui,
jaf, jeb, joardã, joianã, jos,a juli, etc.
I wonder which w sound has been before the comming of the slavs this "j"
and of course , this "h".
