Sentences with SCHWA (3)

The final vowel laws generally apply to the unaccented vowel preceding the accented syllable, if it is preceded by another syllable, and followed by a single consonant--_matin_ (_matutinum_), _dortoir_ (_dormitorium_), with vowel dropped; _canevas_ (_cannabaceum_), _armedure_, later _armëure_, now _armure_ (_armaturam_), with _e_ = _[schwa]_, as explained below.

But besides the etymological, there was a phonetic school of spelling (Ramus, in 1562, for instance, writes _èime_, _èimates_--with _e_ = _é_, _è_ = _è_, and _e_ = _[schwa]_--for _aimai_, _aimastes_), which, though unsuccessful on the whole, had some effect in correcting the excesses of the other, so that in the 17th century most of these inserted letters began to drop; of those which remain, some (_flegme_ for _flemme_ or _fleume_, Latin _phlegma_) have corrupted the pronunciation.
Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 11, Slice 1 "Franciscans" to "French Language" Various 2011
About the end of the 11th century feminines not ending in _e_ = _[schwa]_ take, by analogy of the masculines, _s_ in the nom.
