de la langue francaise p. p. F. Gdnin, Paris 1852, S. 8 ,,that
whan soever the IV letters, ilia, ille or illo come to gither in a
nowne substantive or in a verbe, the i nat havyng an o com-
mynge next before him, they use to sounde an i shortley and
confusely betwene the last 1 and the vowel folowyng, albe it that
in writtyng they expresse none suche, as these vvordes, ribaudaille»
faille, bailler, gaillart, veillant, billart, fueille, fille, cheville, quoc-
quille, ardillon, bastillon, couillon, and such lyke in redyng or
spekynge they sounde thus: ribaudaillie, bailiier, gailliart . . .
fillie, ardillon ...... covillion; but if the
i an o commyng next before bym, in all suche wordes they
sounde none i after the letter 1; so that these nownes substan-
tyves moylle, voille, toille, and suche lyke be except from this
rule.“ —
Bovelles (1532), vgl. Thurot II S. 293, sagt: „Quotiens . .
1 duplex nonnnllas anteit vocales, tum ipsa exilem
quendam et confractum sonum edit, tanquam literarum 1 et i, ut in
his, traveille “ —
Saint-Siens (1580), vgl. Thurot I 327, vgl. auch Livet S.
504, „Quotienscunque duo 1 sequuntur aliquam harum quatuor
diphtongorum ai, ei, oi, ui, nop extremitate linguae tibi pronun-
tianda sunt; sed tangendo oris palatum ipsius linguae medio, ut
loquendo molliores fiant, ac veluti in ore liquescant. Itali optime
exprimunt huiusmodi 11, in voglio , et similibus
Hispani in verbo llamo .... apprime exprimunt quod quaero....“ —
H. Estienne (1582) S. 62, vgl. Thurot II 293, „Haec con-
sonans, quum geminatur, molliorem sonum habet quam quum
unica ponitur: et quidem talem plerumque ut unam tantum 1,
quam sequatur i, videaris audire Piller . . . eodem . . . .
fere modo pronuntias quo Pilier.“ —
Beza (1584) S. 31 (vgl. Livet S. 515) „L post i v.ocalem
edit möllern quendam sonum .... proxime accedentem ad sonum
syllabae li cum proxima vocali coalescentis, quam Itali quidem
per gl scribunt Hispani vero per duplex 11 initio
quoque vocabulorem natant.“ —
Fast derselben Meinung über die Aussprache des pal. 1 sind

Du Val (1604), Masset (1606), Ph. Garnier (1607), Martin (1632),
