newton English Etymology en enm Neweton, from en ang nēowa ang tūn new town. Compare same construction in it Napoli Naples and in Arabic ar نَابُلُس Nablus. The unexpected Early Modern pronunciation with /ɛʊ̯/ instead of /ɪʊ̯/, as securely attested in Richard Hodges' 1644 English PrimroseTh̜e E̯n̆glis͡h Primrôs̮e̱ Richard Hoḏğe̯s̮ Lo̮ndo̮n Printed for Richard Côtes 1644 Richard Hodges: The English primrose, 1644 English linguistics 1500-1800 183 R. C. Alston Scolar Press Menston 1969 55 https://archive.org/details/englishprimrose100hodg/page/n55 and confirmed by obsolete cy Newtwnn,Newtwnn IV 66 205 is due to trisyllabic shortening in ang nēowa tūn or enm Neweton. Pronunciation en /ˈn(j)uːtən/ en /ˈnɛʊ̯tən/ /ˈnɪʊ̯tən/ Early ModernII 244 800 Though Hodges generally is most careful to distinguish ME ęu from ME ẹu, it might be argued that some hesitancy is revealed by his transcribing Newton four times with ęu, against en new (en news, en newly) twelve times and en Newman thrice with ẹu; but he repeatedly gives Newton as a specially chosen example of ęu in deliberate contrast to Newman as an example of ẹu, and we cannot doubt that he did really use ME ęu in Newton. The explanation must be that in the OE compound place-name nēowa(n)tūn(e) shortening occurs in the first element, giving late OE nĕowa(n)tūn(e), whence ME Nęwton (cf. enm ewe ęwe from OE ang eowu ĕowu) en LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-Newton.wav Southern England en LL-Q1860 (eng)-Naomi Persephone Amethyst (NaomiAmethyst)-Newton.wav GA en uːtən 2 Proper noun The name of many English-speaking places, including: Several places in England: en Q1809651en small village/and/cpar in dist/South Cambridgeshire co/Cambridgeshire OS grid ref TL4349.
