Franco-Provençal

Etymology

The all- forms derive from Vulgar Latin alare (attested in the 7th century Reichenau Glosses). This verb, a cognate of French aller and Friulian lâ, has traditionally been explained as deriving from Latin ambul?re via or together with amblar (compare Old French ambler, Italian ambiare, Romanian umbla), but this explanation is phonologically problematic. Several theories have been put forth since the 17th century to explain how ambulare could have become alar in Franco-Provençal and aller in French. Since at least the 18th century, some have suggested that French aller, and thus Franco-Provençal alar as well, derive not from Latin but from Celtic, Gaulish *aliu, from Proto-Celtic zero grade *?al-: compare Welsh elwyf (“I may go”), Cornish ellev (“I may go”), from full grade *?el- (see mynd for more). See French aller (“to go”).

Latin v?d? (“go”) supplies the present tense forms and ?re, present active infinitive of e?, supplies the future and conditional.
