Yes I did. I just wondered. I did not gave any explanation , just
wondered about. I got explanation from other people, from Marius,
George, Miguel and you.
It is of course my problem I do not agree with them.
I have to check the archives for a special thing.
The elidation of intervocalic "v/b" was explained if I remember right
due v/b="w" thus "caballus" = "caualus" > cal
In this kind of "assimilation" of "b" is no trace of "u" but we have
the mentaining of /u/ in a phonetical operation which is
called "sonorisation" of "ll".
"ll" which is mentained in "cale" < "callis". Followed by a front
vowel! And the people who gave these explanation ( including you)
really belive in a sonorisation of "-ella" , ellidation of "ll" in
the very worse case, the one one when "ll" is followed by "a"?
That can be just a joke... But you are right. It is easy to say " is
not right". Is harder to show not "why is not right" but "how is
right".
I promise, I will do not re-open a such stupid ecuation like -ella< -
ua until I don't have the answer of "how is right".
Thank you for your patience with this topic until now.
