Subject: Re: engraving question - slur across notes sung to different
syllabes?
Lo and behold, another example from the Gondoliers....
This slur has an exact meaning: It's a portato. You can find this
kind of notation in virtually all scores from the 19th century,
including both German (e.g. Wagner) and Italian (e.g. Verdi)
composers.

According to my research following up your post, I think it's actually
portamento, which is explicitly said to be a vocal technique indicated by
slurs, as opposed to portato which is a string technique, and includes
staccato marks.
