I found a different way the m'n (when a vowel is lost) group can go (at
least in my mind ;)).
/mn/ > /nn/ > /Nn/ : feminam > femna > fenna > feñna /feNna/, faminem >
famne > fanne > fañne (but i dont know if i'll keep that final e or not
(the dropping of final e's is a later development in the language, fairly
recent, i decree)
other words:
hominem > homne > honne > hoñne / hoñn - mam
seminat > semna > senna > sèñna
nomine > nomne > nonne > noñne / noñn
stamine > stamne > stanne > stañne / stañn
consuetumine > costumne > costunne > costuñne / costuñn
certitumine > certitumne > certidunne > çertiúñne / çertiúñn
