I have had there basis for asking it. The Rom. word has too two syllable
without having a consonant "w"
the word "douã" is dó-uã with stress on /o/.
The same in nummeral nine "nouã" (nó-uã)and in ziuã ( zí-uã), the
personal pronoun "nouã" (nó-uã)
The same in impersonal verbs as "raining" where one say for it is
raining "plouã" (pló-uã), etc.
