Etymology
Modification of Classical Latin illōrum, with the new /ˈu/ perhaps taken from 'vulgar' forms like illūi (“to him”) or illūius (“his”).[1]
Pronunciation
Determiner
*illūrum (Proto-Western-Romance) (?)
Reconstruction notes
No final vowel can be reconstructed. It may have been lost early on due to this being a function word. Alternatively, Navarro-Aragonese borrowed the term from pre-literary Catalan, in which case this reconstruction belongs to the Proto-Gallo-Romance level, where loss of the final vowel is regular.
