haps this is the original vowel: quisque-et-unu-.

secondary accent. See M.-L., Ital. Gram., §157; cf. also §7 of the in¬ 
troduction to this investigation.

the articles there mentioned. Both sipare and supare existed in 
Latin.

scattered through Tuscany, both in the old and in the modern words; 
see Pieri, AG XII (at Pisa, Chimento, for Clemente, questo ’ncanto, 
da ’mbrogliare, una ’nfamita, lo ’ncenso, onferno, ombuto, ompiego, 
but also maitina, bailia, meita, voitare), Hirseh, ZRPh IX 523 (at Siena, 
chimare, for chiamare, picere for piacere), Barbi, in the Raccolfa D’An- 
cona Pisa-Lucca, eitade, aitade), Flechia, AG II 57-58, note 2 (Pimonte, 
for Piemonte), Parodi, Rom. XVIII 601 (Old Sienese, gidicare, gi- 
gnore, giramento, gistrare, all for giu-), Parodi, Giorn. Stor., X 183 
(Giseppe, scighatoio, for asciugatoic). Guittone uses vo’ as a pro¬ 
tonic pronoun. Many similar cases might be cited. For piviale, see 
Foerster, ZRPh VI 377.
