== Latin == === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [anˈtiː.rɛ] Note: the -e- 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. In addition, in Republican spelling, ei spelt the long vowel /iː/. (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [an.teˈiː.re] === Verb === anteīre present active infinitive of anteeō
