if spoken quickly and continuously, it must have sounded that way. Maybe
this is regionally different, but have a look at a dictionary of
classical Latin and compare the number of words beginning with inp- to
those beginning with imp-, and their etymologies. But Latin philologists
will know better about such matters than I do.
