tametsi

Latin

Alternative forms
  • tam etsi, tam et si

Pronunciation
  • (Classical) IPA(key): /tam ˈet.siː/, [t̪ä̃ˑ ˈɛt̪s̠iː]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /taˈmet.si/, [t̪äˈmɛt̪si]
  • Note: despite often being written as a single word, the graphic m does not stand for a bilabial nasal /m/ but a placeless one, as always in word-final position. The word is always scanned as two longs. Contrast with tamen, with /m/.
