Reconstruction:Latin/coactitare

Reconstruction notes
The initial /kw-/ is suggested by the absence, in northern Occitan, of any variant showing palatalization of /k/, as well as parallelism with the northern outcomes of. The absence of /w/ from Gascon, as opposed to its survival in for instance /ˈkwate/ < Latin, would likely be due to its being found in a pretonic syllable (cf. /kaˈtɔrze/ < ).

An original */-kt-/ (> */jt/) would be expected to yield */t͡ʃ/ in various regions, but collision with the following */t/ may have depalatalized it.
