-cliâm-

Exclamation-orangeSince the last two posts have featured cliâme and procliamâtion, we might as well have a closer look at other words containing the -cliâm- root.

  • accliâmer = acclaim
  • accliamâtion = acclamation

  • dêcliâmer = declaim
  • dêcliamâtion = declamation

  • èrcliâme = claim
  • èrcliâmer = claim, reclaim, claim again, claim back
  • èrcliamâtion = reclamation
  • èrcliâmabl'ye = reclaimable, recoverable
  • èrcliâmant = claimant

  • r'cliâme = claim
  • r'cliâmer = claim, reclaim, claim again, claim back
  • r'cliamâtion = reclamation
  • r'cliâmabl'ye = reclaimable, recoverable
  • r'cliâmant = claimant

  • excliâmer = exclaim (dictionary addendum)
  • excliamâtion = exclamation

  • procliâmer = proclaim
  • procliamâtion = proclamation

As usual the li is a /j/, and note how the long vowel shifts.
