Aramits in Barétous: a place name in Basque Béarn

We Bearn Valley Barétous to Aramits. The pronunciation of Gascon Aramits with accent on the penultimate leaves no doubt: it is indeed a Basque toponym. That's Aramitz (as Biarritz). The decline of the stress (which is also typical of the contact zones Gascon charnégous Bas-Adour) raises a question: why did he not take place for the suffixes-in bone are usually designed in a larger family of suffixes to rental sibilants (-atz/otz/itz) and accented on the final Gascon more according to the major trends of the phonetic language? Knowing that
Basque, there is no stress.




1. The name Aramits

Many authors explain the name of this village, undoubtedly the Basque term for the Aran Valley = suffix-itz (locative suffix with wheezing). Never explain phonetically assembly: now it seems very difficult under the rules of Gascon qu'Aranitz gives Aramitz. We would rather the preservation of the etymon (the question of the fall of No intervocalic unresolved for etymons Basque).

By cons, Basque, such phenomena as "bilabialisation" are frequent, particularly in Upper Soule Barétous to which is linked: thus the term zunhar for abalone can give in medieval texts as well sunart ( Bearn, Sauveterre village) Suhart , çuguarriaga and çumarraga .

Similarly the old basis inhibit = cane, preserved in Souletin gave in dialects that have lost the nose " ihi " but probably the medieval hamlet ymizcoyz Lower Navarre.

To summarize, an intervocalic n can be stored in Basque, go to h in dialects that have lost the nose (see the nasality of Gascony) or be "bilabialisé 'and move r. It is probably true of Aramits whose ancient language should be the Soule which retains well and sometimes even the nasal palatalization (see Larrau Gascon is the name of the town who said Soule Larrañea on-evolution of Larraun , in Gascon, dénasalisation of the final, Souletin palatalization).

So Aramitz may very well according to the rules of phonics Basque Aranitz be from, just as it could have Arahitz / Araitz or even Arañitz.
In Basque, there is no absolute rule. Otherwise, we must consider more complex assemblies aran, which in composition in the country gives Souletine ara-(for once, dénasalisation final), and an obscure term and non-identifiable.


2. The Gascon Aramits

The Gascon Aramits eastern Pyrenean Gascon-aspo barétounais (thus conserving deaf intervocalic as Aragon and Absque). You can listen to the following link:
