oir: difference between revisions

• (archaic, dialectal) oure

From Latin audīre, present active infinitive of audiō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew-is-d-, a compound of Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewis (“clearly, manifestly”) (from the root *h₂ew- (“to see, perceive”)) and *dʰh₁-ye/o- (“to render”).

• Lua error in Module:ca-IPA at line 1145: In respelling 'oïr', final -r by itself or in -rs is ambiguous except in the verbal endings -ar or -ir, in the nominal or adjectival endings -er(s) and -[dtsç]or(s). In all other cases it needs to be rewritten using one of 'rr' (pronounced everywhere), '(rr)' (pronounced everywhere but Balearic) or '(r)' (pronounced only in Valencian). Note that adjectives in -ar usually need rewriting using '(rr)'; nouns in -ar referring to places should be rewritten using '(r)'; and loanword nouns in -ir usually need rewriting using 'rr'.
