Jan 23 at 13:06 comment added Eau qui dort Attention quand même, telle qu'écrite actuellement, la réponse implique que le changement de graphie de oi vers ai voulait refléter la prononciation [wɛ], plutôt que la prononciation [ɛ] (réelle raison du changement).

Jan 23 at 12:34 comment added None There's no elusiveness (and no debate among linguists) about the pronunciation of the oi diphthong in Old French. It was pronounced [wɛ] and the spelling officially changed to ai in 1835 by the Académie. And this to order to match the spelling with the pronunciation.

Word choice ("ancient" does not mean simply "old"), style
