Talk:soif

Old French "soit" was /sɔi̯θ/ if I'm not mistaken, so the /f/ would be merely an occasional instance of "th-fronting". Of course, it's possible that the desire to avoid homophony reinforced this development, but right now it's sounds as though the "f" had just been added at random. That seems unlikely as such and doesn't seem to be the case historically. 90.186.83.177 00:58, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
