As most of these long vowels (except ô, in some accents â and ê) have since been shortened, it is now often said that the circumflex is used to represent those lost letters, but this is not its original purpose. Words in which a lost s did not cause lengthening do not have a circumflex (e.g. cette, chaque, notre). ==== Descendants ==== → Dutch: accent circonflexe → Norwegian Bokmål: accent circonflexe == Indonesian == === Etymology === Unadapted borrowing from Dutch accent circonflexe (“circumflex”) or French accent circonflexe (“circumflex”), from Latin accentus circumflexus. === Noun === accent circonflexe (plural accent-accent circonflexe) (orthography) circumflex accent === Further reading === “accent circonflexe”, in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia [Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language] (in Indonesian), Jakarta: Agency for Language Development and Cultivation – Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, 2016 == Norwegian Bokmål == === Etymology === Borrowed from French accent circonflexe. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /akˈsaŋ.sɪrkɔŋˈflɛks/ Rhymes: -ɛks Hyphenation: ac‧cent‧cir‧con‧flexe === Noun === accent circonflexe m (definite singular accent circonflexen, indefinite plural accent circonflexer, definite plural accent circonflexene) (orthography) a circumflex (a diacritical mark (ˆ) placed over a vowel or a consonant in the orthography or transliteration of many languages) Synonym: cirkumfleks ==== See also ==== accent aigu (“acute accent”) and accent grave (“grave accent”) === References === “accent circonflexe” in The Bokmål Dictionary. “accent circonflexe” in Det Norske Akademis ordbok (NAOB). “cirkumfleks” in Store norske leksikon
