15 In accordance with Grandgent's theory of ‘adverbial -ī‘, From Latin to Italian 51 f. (Cambridge, 1927), preferable to other theories of the origin of Ital. -i in adverbs, e.g. Meyer-Lübke-Bartoli-Braun, Grammatica storica della lingua italiana 57 (Torino, n.d.).

16 Cf. Meyer-Lübke, Gramm, des langues rom. 2. §449. Conversely, our explanation of the origin of the stem anzi- obviates the necessity of Meyer-Lübke's roundabout explanation of its formation (as originally ∗antidianus on the model of cottidianus). Likewise, ∗prope-anus(> Fr. prochain) can have been a direct formation on the adverb prope.

Meyer-Lübke's later suggestion (REW3 494), that ancien was a learned word, is hardly acceptable, in view of the It. and Sp. cognates, particularly since the latter show a peculiarly popular semantic development ‘of former times > old, aged (of persons)‘.

OFr. posteis ‘afterwards, later’ may likewise have been derived directly from a ∗postidius : postideā, etc., thus eliminating another of the troublesome suppositions of analogical influence.
