PHONO: Nasal assimilation (was: An incongruent orthography:

Michael Poxon scripsit:

> Surely all these instances are just assimilation of a nasal to a following
> homorganic stop, which explains why the versions with -m don't work;
But they *do* work in Italian; the nasal is forced to be homorganic to
the stop no matter what the nasal's nominal place of articulation is.
