Schlatter—The Development of the Vowel. 1137 
paucifero, mausoleo, etc. These examples are all of literary 
origin; the following are dialectal forms: folena, osbergo, lo¬ 
ses ga (in Boiardo, -the last two are northern formls and pos¬ 
sibly folena is likewise, -falena is the regular modem form, fo- 
is popular, fu- is illiterate), augello, ausgello, etc. (southern 
forms, -—augello is still retained in poetic use), odire (odendo 
used by Oammelli and Petroeehi states that some tenses still 
survive, —these by analogy of forms accented on the first sylla¬ 
ble, bdo, etc., rather than through dialectal influence), orbacca 
and orbaco (from lauri-bacca and lauri-baco, respectively, with 
apheresis of the 1 by confusion with the article, probably dia¬ 
lectal), orecchio (from lo ? recchio—urecchio is a modern illiterate 
and peasant form), ottarda (in Redi of Arezzo, -from autarda, 
cited by Pliny, for au(is)tarda), Lorenzo (dialectal or semi- 
literarv). 
79. Analogy. —Robare, for rubare, by analogy of roba; 
orpello, from auri-pell-is, by analogy of oro; odire, for udire, 
by analogy of forms accented odo, etc. (see §78) ; ontoso, by 
analogy of onta, from haunida (ointoso, at Siena, with the 
original I passed from after to before the 1ST,—of. bointa, etc.) ; 
poverta, by analogy of povero; pochino, etc., from poco (but 
puchino at Arezzo); noleggio, by nolo; dorare, from d(e) 
-aurare, by analogy of oro, —so, also, doradilla, etc.; rocag- 
gine (modern popular for “raucedine”), by analogy of roco; 
lodare, from lode, etc.; god ere, from godo, gode, godono, etc. 
(gbdere is still a popular variant of godere) ; boccale (from 
baucale), by analogy of bocea; orezzo, by analogy of ora (from 
aura); loggione, by analogy of loggia. 
80. Vowel Assimilation. —Ogosto, a peasant and moun¬ 
tain word for agosto 1 . 
81. Apheresis.— Recchia, reccbiata, etc., for orecehia, etc.; 
rezzo, from *auritiu-; rigogolo, from aurigalgulu- 1 ; retta (in the 
expression a dar retta”), if from a diminutive of auris; Gosto, 
§80. Note 1. Also found at Lucca: see Fieri, AG XII 116. Utonno, 
for autunno, is found in the Volgarizzamento della Metamorfosi d* 
Ovidio; if it is not an error, it may be a dialectic pronunciation of 
otonno, which would be a ease of vowel assimilation. 
§81. Note 1. For aurlgalbulus; see Grober, ALL II 431.
