anteeo

Latin

Alternative forms

  • anteo, antideo, antedeo, ante eo

Etymology

From ante- +‎ . Forms in antid- are part of the same analogy as redeō, antideā, to avoid hiatus.

Pronunciation

  • (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈan.te.oː]
  • Note: the double -ee- in this word is not pronounced but is purely orthographic, in line with the "full" spelling of prepositional/prefixal elements. Not only do Latin short vowels followed by other vowels regularly elide on the phonetic level, but stem-final short vowels are already regularly elided on the morphophonological level, i.e. during word derivation.
