fiana, etc. (commoner than ru-) romore; Pieri’s article 8 : cu- 
gnato, cuscensia, cuglione, ruvina (all of which would be ex- 
peoted in Florence), but coscino, oncino, popillo, polcino, offi¬ 
ciate, molina, and pulenta, muneta, curtello (for coltello), scu- 
della and piomaccio. Lucca to-day also shows foritano, in dis¬ 
tinction to Pisa’s furitano. Fagnano 9 , in the fourteenth cen¬ 
tury seems to incline to O; obedire, offendere, soportare, of- 
fitio (twice), officio (three times), offictio, officali (sic), but 
ufficio (once), and uscita. In a Pisa-Lucca document of about

lente, uulentieri (and uo), cusi, cului, cutale. Pisa: in a

but there is even greater vacillation than between the devel¬

are modern Sienese: sgrullata (for crollata), cumune, cus- 
tume, furitano, cuprire, cuprime, pultrone (for poltrona), 
Currado. Group 4, Arezzo: in the old language 16 : sustantia,
