Linea 93:
: ''Conectere'' and ''connectere'' are both correct ([https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/conecto#Latin #1], [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/connecto#Latin #2]). If I am not mistaken two pronunciation were present at the end of the Republic, /kõːˈnek.toː/ and /konˈnek.toː/, depending whether the speaker would normally pronounce ''cum'' as /kũː/ or /ko*/ (the asterisk in the second one indicates [[en:Syntactic gemination|syntactic gemination]]). Common sense would suggest me that '''for both pronunciations''' ''connectere'' would be the optimal spelling, because ''con-'' is able to express graphically both nasalization (/kõː/) and syntactic gemination (/ko*/) – depending on the speaker – while ''co-'' can only be pronounced /kɔ/ or /koː/. What is the argument that makes the ones who disagree on this believe that ''conectere'' would be more correct? --[[Usor:Grufo|Grufo]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Grufo|disputatio]]) 20:19, 5 Maii 2020 (UTC)
:: Well, the argument is, simply, that if you check any philological edition of ancient Roman authors, published in authoritative collections such as Scriptorum classicorum bibliotheca Oxoniensis or Bibliotheca Teubneriana, you'll find only ''conectere''. We scarcely have any better informants than philological editions of classical authors. [[Usor:Neander|Neander]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Neander|disputatio]]) 21:01, 6 Maii 2020 (UTC)
::: Indeed, when you had raised the point I had done a quick research and, with some surprise, I had found too that philological editions tend to prefer ''conectere'', ''conubium'', etc (with some exceptions though). However, given that unless you find it in an inscription, writing ''conectere'' instead of ''connectere'' is nothing more than an editorial choice, I wonder what reason could motivate philologists to prefer ''conectere''. From what I know of Latin phonology and orthography I would think of it as nothing more than a misspelling. I think this can be a very good question for any linguist reading this discussion. --[[Usor:Grufo|Grufo]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Grufo|disputatio]]) 00:07, 7 Maii 2020 (UTC)
