povêr
See also: pover
Franco-Provençal
Etymology
From Vulgar Latin potēre, regularization of Latin posse. In Franco-Provençal, the inflexion paradigm of this verb varies considerably from one dialect to another. The poss- forms seem to reflect a remodeling after the Vulgar Latin conjugations such as possō (“I can”). The poy- forms appear to be direct reflexes of the Vulgar Latin potēre, with the intervocalic /t/ leniting, via a /d/ stage, to /ð/ and subsequently /j/. The pov- forms appear to reflect both the aforementioned lenition as well as subsequent loss of /-j-/ and insertion of /-v-/ to break hiatus (*poer > pover), likely influenced or at least reinforced by the French cognate pouvoir, whose /-v-/ developed in like fashion.
