Pronunciation
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈan.te.oː/, [ˈän̪t̪eoː]
- Note: the double -ee- in this word is not pronounced but is purely orthographic, in line with the "full" spelling of prepositional/prefixal elements. Not only do Latin short vowels followed by other vowels regularly elide on the phonetic level, but stem-final short vowels are already regularly elided on the morphophonological level, i.e. during word derivation.
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /an.teˈe.o/, [än̪t̪eˈɛːo]
