Linguistics / linguistics | | Italian term or phrase: efelcustica | This one's on linguistics (in a text on the origins of the Etruscan language):
"tra la radice esv e il suffisso sc si è insinuata una vocale i efelcustica".
The client tells me that the Greek translation is ephelkystical, but I can't find this term either. |
| | | added "i" | Explanation:
it should be "efelcistica" ("efelkustikos")... it just means that the "i" has been added between the root and the suffix. This generally happens with the "n" ('n' efelcistico, or mobile).

I'm afraid both sites are in Italian.

although I agree with the term \"suffixed\" proposed by both colleagues, there is the added problem of a potential repetition of the word \"suffix\". My suggestion would be... between the root esv and the suffix sc, the mobile vowel \"i\" has been inserted. In the second link, the \"ephelcistic\" wovel is called \"mobile\". |
