IPA (key ) : /alenˈtaɾ/ [a.lẽn̪ˈt̪aɾ] Rhymes:-aɾ Syllabification:a‧len‧tar Inherited fromVulgar Latin *alēnitare < *an(h)ēlitāre , derived fromLatin anhēlitus ( “ breath ” ) .
The diphthongization in rhizotonic conjugations (yo aliento ) is etymologically unexpected, considering the Latin /ē/, but may have to do with analogy with other verbs ending in-entar , such assentar . In that case, the diphtongization inAsturian alendar would perhaps be due to Castilian influence.
