anteeo
Latin
Alternative forms
- anteo, antideo, antedeo, ante eo
Etymology
From ante- + eō. 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.
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [an̪.t̪eˈɛː.o]
