11 Modern Language Review 8.484f. This article, essentially anticipating my view of the etymology, was brought to my attention by Mr. Tuttle when I suggested the derivation of cinchar from *cīnctulare before the Linguistic Society. Tuttle derived cincho directly from *cīnctulum, mentioning Italian cintolo < *cīnctulum, and incontrovertibly impugning the view, then held by Menéndez Pidal and Zauner, that cincho comes from *cingulum.

20 Mr. E. H. Tuttle, in the public discussion of this etymology, suggested that the phonology of *collacteum > collaço invalidates the derivation here presented; compare his treatment of the word collaço as a regular popular development in Modern Language Review 8.493f.; but see also Hanssen, Span. Gram. 55, who regards it as irregular. The accented vowel may indicate that it is semilearned; compare *lacte > leche.
