I'm thinking of an evolution like that in "Roumant", except that the VL /e/ of veclus would certainly by diphtongized. I'm thinking of /vjE/ in masculine and /vjES/ in feminine or with liaison. Was the /e/ in veclus short or long? As for words with -iliV in Latin, even FAMILIA evolved regularly in French (giving "famille" /fa'mij/). I'm thinking in "Roumant" of an ending /i(Z)/. Sounds quite reasonable to me. Christophe.
