- Actually, one needs to know vowel lengths to figure out the French
forms.
For some reason, I took Vulgar Latin forms with long /i/ but short /u/.
In the reverse case, possible variants will be: _Loyaise_ or _Loyèse_
(_Loyasse_, _Loyache_), _Loyaie_; _Luaise_ (_Luasse_, _Luache_),
_Luaie_ (_Luyaie_?).
