      Today I learned that the French circumflex accent denotes an “s” that became silent and then invisible. ancêtre "ancestor" hôpital "hospital" hôtel "hostel" forêt "forest" rôtir "to roast" côte "coast" pâté "paste" août "August" Thanks @lingthusiasm podcât!

      Example from above link: "In words derived from Ancient Greek, the circumflex over o often indicates the presence of the Greek letter omega (ω) when the word is pronounced with the sound /o/: diplôme (δίπλωμα), cône (κῶνος)."

      Also... Hilarious: "Some circumflexes appear for no known reason. It is thought to give words an air of prestige, like a crown (thus trône, prône, suprême and voûte)."

          Thanks Olivia, it’s always nice to see languages other than English being capricious and tacky

          My favorite is "rôle", which is 100% just a fancy way of writing "role."

          There was a row when it was suggested getting rid of those odd circumflexes - you can see why with voûte: it guides you to the meaning (tho not with the others).

          But it has a reason, it s the time for which you pronounce the vowel (^cicumflexe is for middle duration) so for example é is short, ê is middle and è is long. For other vowels other than "e" , it means you extend the vowel a little.

          French orthography. Love it. I dared one of my colleagues to ask me about it last week. (They, wisely, demurred)
