Conversely, the traditional pronunciation has also facilitated the development of the alternative spelling encognure. Both alternatives, orthographic and phonetic, are proscribed to varied extent by traditionalists. === Further reading === “encoignure”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
