The opposite phenomenon is called Aphesis . PROTHESIS IN WORD BORROWING/DERIVATION Prothesis may be a form of word Corruption during borrowing from foreign languages or during derivation from protolanguages. For example, /s/ + stop clusters in Latin gained a preceding /e/ in Old Spanish and Old French ; hence, the Spanish word for "state" is "estado," deriving from Latin "status." Some Turkic Languages avoid certain combinations of consonants at the beginning of a word. Therefore Smyrna is called Izmir in Turkey and "machine" is ''"amashina"'' in Abkhaz Language . In some dialects of Nenets Language , the initial syllable cannot start with a Vowel , therefore when borrowing the initial Nasal Consonant prothesis ''ng'' {Link without Title} is used. Hindi borrowing from English words with initial ''i''; sp-, sk- or sm- clusters: school → iskuul, special → ispesal. |
