(first: thank you,)
the changes of pronunciation of c (from k to ts) might have been in early
Emperors time (Kaiserzeit), that of the diphthongs in the first century ante
Christum natum, as we suppose by the changing from "Claudius" to "Clodius" in
the case of plebeisation (to be a candidate for tribunus plebis) and - in an
earlier period - the changing from oe to u (Poeni to Puni, compare Dutch "oe"
or
Greek contraction-rules).
