Excerpt: ... pro mannis parva: T. 3.3: 666, X.; Paris. This form was probably not in the original, but is due to the copyist. resnante: Cluny 2587, 1. 12: 1004 C. rennante: Cluny 2669, p. 701,1. 11: 1008 C. pugniendus (and other forms of punire): Dombes I.j p. 9, 30: 1269.

In the sixteenth century the group was still sounded by come ecclesiastics as n (Thurot, Prononciation, II., p. 345)--a pronunciation which must go back to the Carolingian period.
