The geminate-tt-might have been established to compensate the fluctuating quality of succeeding -u-between non-syllabic glide and full vowel apparent since Old Latin; in the postclassical form quattor this sound is dropped altogether, and in most Romance languages the second syllable is subject to syncope, which then is compensated by an ...
The nomen Tertius is derived from the Latin for "third", which was used as a cognomen from the earliest period of Roman history. While it may anciently have been a praenomen corresponding with similar masculine names, such as Quintus, Sextus, and Decimus, only the feminine form, Tertia, appears to have been in use during the Republic, and only in imperial times does the masculine form appear ...
Decimus (/ ˈ d ɛ s ɪ m ə s / DESS-im-əs, Classical Latin: [ˈdɛkɪmʊs]), very rarely feminine Decima, is a Latin praenomen, or personal name, usually abbreviated D.

Ortografía de la lengua española (2010). Spanish orthography is the orthography used in the Spanish language.The alphabet uses the Latin script.The spelling is fairly phonemic, especially in comparison to more opaque orthographies like English, having a relatively consistent mapping of graphemes to phonemes; in other words, the pronunciation of a given Spanish-language word can largely be ...
The first of these reasons is probably [weasel words] that the praenomen itself lost much of its original utility following the adoption of hereditary surnames; the number of praenomina commonly used by both men and women declined throughout Roman history.
This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in English (and other modern languages). Ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. [1] Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article, both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words.
[1] [2] Homographs are two or more words that have the same written form. This list includes only homographs that are written precisely the same in English and Spanish: They have the same spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, word dividers, etc. It excludes proper nouns and words that have different diacritics (e.g., invasion/invasión, pâté ...
This word ending—thought to be difficult for Spanish speakers to pronounce at the time—evolved in Spanish into a "-te" ending (e.g. axolotl = ajolote). As a rule of thumb, a Spanish word for an animal, plant, food or home appliance widely used in Mexico and ending in "-te" is highly likely to have a Nahuatl origin.
