The obvious phenomenon of Latin age is the tendency of eliminating
the first syllable (not preserved in Romances) and using "*juna:re"
in conjunction with prepositions ("ad", supported by Rom., Sp. &
Fr. usual form "à jeun", and "de", supported by It. & Cat. forms).
Prefixation is so usual that most dictionnaries don't even insert
a footnote about required VL forms.
