>>[ME] do you mean to imply that "in perpetuum" was pronouned "im perpetuum"
(or "imperpetuum")?
> 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.
