The Latin vowels EO, pronounced in Late Antiquity as Ie JI respectively, yielded rising diphthongs, usually /je wel, in Old Spanish stressed syllables, whether checked or free: F£RRI) > fierro 'iron', CORNU> cuerno 'horn'. Before certain palatal and prepalatal consom:nts (e.g. Ij '11), the monophthongs failed to diphthongize: S£DEAT > Iseja! > sea 'let it be', Hf)DlE > IJjel > (h)oy 'today', FOLIA> IbAa! > foja 'leaf. However, the same environment long believed to have blocked diphthongization in Old (or Proto-) Castilian has been credited with stimulating that process to the north of the Pyrenees. A new attack on the old problem is here undertaken, starting with the apophonically conditioned pairs R£GEREIREGULA, TEG£RE/TEGULA, and S£CAREISECULA. In a backward section of the Republic and the Empire, speakers could easily have been misled into transmuting SP£CULU 'mirror' into *SPECULU etc., with Ie: o:/-not subject to diphthongization-substituted for Ie JI in words of the indicated syllabico-accentual structure.
