cinctus

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈkiːŋk.tʊs]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈt͡ʃiŋk.tus]
• It is commonly assumed that vowels were regularly lengthened before [nkt], as well as before [ns] and [nf].^[1] The spelling ⟨CꟾNCTUS⟩ with long i is attested inscriptionally.^[2] Romance descendants provide evidence of a pronunciation with a short vowel, which could have been formed as a result of analogical leveling with the present stem; compare pēnsō and the analogical use of a diphthong in Romance forms such as pienso.
