"nonc" meaning in All languages combined

See nonc on Wiktionary

Noun [French]

IPA: /nɔ̃k/ Forms: noncs [plural], noncle [alternative], n-oncle [alternative]
Etymology: Rebracketing of any of several French determiners which trigger the [n] sound during liaison (e.g. un, mon, son), and of the word oncle (“uncle”). In Louisiana French, certain word-final consonant clusters tend to be reduced, including the sequence [-kl], which becomes [-l] (cf. article, miracle, siècle). The spelling nonc reflects this loss of final [l]. Etymology templates: {{rebracketing|fr}} Rebracketing Head templates: {{fr-noun|m}} nonc m (plural noncs)
