It remains more or less obligatory
"It remains more or less obligatory..." It being the form without /k/? That seems wrong. Better to say the /k/ remains obligatory if that's what was meant. DAVilla 06:40, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * What are you trying to say? The text is clear: It says that the form /sɛ̃/ remains more or less obligatory in "cinq cents" and "cinq mille". There can be no doubt that /sɛ̃ sɑ̃/ and /sɛ̃ mil/ are indeed the usual pronunciations and accordingly your suggestion makes no sense. The only question would be: Are /sɛ̃k sɑ̃/ and /sɛ̃k mil/ really so rare as the text suggests. If you had specific knowledge to the contrary, we could tone the statement down. However, since you say your knowledge of French is zero, I assume that not to be the case. 90.186.170.60 01:10, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
