Subject: Re: [tied] Romanian Swadesh list -> 10% substratual
> Latin tre:s > Eastern Romance trei, with regular development of -s to -i
after stressed vowel. Cf. Italian crai < cras "tomorrow", noi < nos "we",
voi < vos "you", poi < pos < post "after", sei < ses < sex "six", dial. plui
< plus "more", hai < has < habes "you have", dai < das "you give", stai <
stas "you stand", vai < vas < vades "you go", sei < ei < es "you are", etc.
I've just posted a different explanation of <doi> and <trei> (of course I
completely agree about nos > noi etc.). You prefer a purely phonological
solution, and I'd like to relate <doi> and <trei> to similar forms in the
rest of Romance (including the Western division).
