anteeō

anteeō

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): [an.teˈɛː.o]
