Linea 117:
It is evident that joined letters of this sort are of importance to the foreign names of places, not to those which are derived from ancient Latin names (see Lat. Nursia - It. Norcia; Lat. Perusia - It. Perugia).
'''VI.''' ''W'', a letter which is frequented in common languages and even in Latin monuments of letters, enlisted in the middle ages, is always rendered by the Latin letter v (which was the semiconsonant u: uox).
This pertains to the letter ''k'', one usually places the Latin c, but before the vowels e and i, because of the diverse ways of pronouncing the Latin speech among today's nations, ''k'' is preserved in names conforming to the Latin language.
The rest, where it was possible to do it appropriately, is furthermore produced by the etymology of the placename; which indeed all know is a very difficult thing.
I therefore produce this work about to be conducted with delight for the confident man, relying on good hope that it is of some use to the cultivators of Latinity.
'''CAROLUS EGGER'''
