Attested?
@The Nicodene Is there a single Medieval Latin form that cannot be explained as a borrowing from early Old French? Kwékwlos (talk) 12:18, 2 February 2023 (UTC)


 * @Kwékwlos Latin attestations from the ninth century (especially the early part) come early enough, in my view, to qualify as representing essentially Romance in its literary register. Nicodene (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, since the term is found relatively late (in reconstruction and in attestation), we should move it on the mainspace (at least for the feminine form) Kwékwlos (talk) 10:22, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Should we move it to the mainspace then? Kwékwlos (talk) 22:35, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

 * But is the masculine attested? Nicodene (talk) 17:41, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks like only the feminine survived. Kwékwlos (talk) 17:46, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Only the masculine in Romance. Nicodene (talk) 23:05, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Then why would the 840 AD forms be French borrowings? Kwékwlos (talk) 23:51, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Edit2: I don't know what happened there. Not clear to why there is a feminine gender involved at all. Nicodene (talk) 00:23, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a feminine that may explain the 840 AD forms. Kwékwlos (talk) 11:07, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
