OLat or OIt? My dictionary speaks just about "ollus" but it does not
say any word about *olnos > ollus, thus this is why I asked. I could
not find any reference by Szemerenyi in the chapter VIII, II (
Morphologie, Pronomen und Zahlwort) in his "Einführung in die
vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft". Maybe the wrong book or the wrong
chapter?
