Mi^gratio=Grætio=Greece
Text below have its part to give some examples of letter m changes into ancient dialects of the Hellenes ,and some changes parallel between them and Latin langue,
"Changes of μ, esp. in dialects:
III
2. Aeol., as αμμες υμμες єμμα єμμι for ημєις υμεις єιμα the vowel or diphtong before it being shortened, Greg. Cor.p. 597 ; - αμμες and υμμες also in Hom.and Ep.
III. μ is freq. added or left out, acc. to dialects,
1. at the beginning of a word as αρυω μηρυω, ια μια ,ονθυλєυω μονθολєυω, οσχος μοσχος , οχλєυς μοχλєυς , υραξ μυραξ ,μαλη Lat. ala Buttm.Lexil. v.ουλαι 4. Lob. Phryn. 356; so ΄΄Αρης , Lat.Mars, ανηρ, Engl. man."5
The Latin consonants… except as noticed below, were pronounced more or less as they generally are in English.
Notes for letter t :
" t (ratio) always had its proper sound; ra-ti-ō was pronounced as it is written ( not with the sound of sh as in English rational, nor with the sound of ts, although in many Italian words t has been replaced by a z which is pronounced as ts – e.g. giustizia from Latin iūstitia )."6
From here we can notice that in a lot of Italian words letter t has been replaced by a z ,which is pronounced as ts.
We could compare not only example of the word iūstitia- giustizia, but at the words Dalmatia pronounced as Dalmatsia ,Croatia, pronounced as Croatsia, in my mother tongue written as Dalmacia, pronounced the same as well.
This letter deviation reality could be taken as example to analysed letter t deviation at the word gratio.
GraTio
t->ts-c
*Gratio->*Grætio->*Gratsio->*Grætsio –>*Græcio-Greece
Gratio pronounced as Gracio and this days spelt as Greece with the meaning same as Hellene
Hellene and Greece two different words meaning one and the same
at two different languages .
Hellene= Selenje in Macedonian
Greece = Migration in Latin
or Helens =Greeks=newcomers=imigrants
