prī̆nceps
prī̆nceps Vorlage:lat. Wrtdtng: wrtl. 'vornahme, erstnahme, anfang'; vorserst'; 'erst'; 'Vornehmer, Anfänger' daher 'Anführer, Urheber, Erster, …'
Aus uital. *priisemokaps durch Synkope. Durch Oberflächenanalyse, prīmus „erster“ + -ceps „Fänger“.
From Proto-Italic *priisemokaps by syncope. By surface analysis, prīmus (“first”) + -ceps (“catcher”).
Aussprache:
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈpriːn.keps/, [ˈpriːŋkɛps̠] or IPA(key): /ˈprin.keps/, [ˈprɪŋkɛps̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈprin.t͡ʃeps/, [ˈprin̠ʲt͡ʃeps]
Note: the length of the first vowel might have varied, being subject to one or more rounds of Osthoff's Law which shortens vowels before an /n/ in the same syllable. Ancient Greek πρῖγκιψ (prînkips) shows there was a pronunciation with long /ī/, which must have been maintained by analogy with prīmus, but an archaic Italian form prence points to a form in /ĭ/.[1][2] See also Italian prencipe, an alternative form of principe.
