[MaBu888]

Sine pausa... concurro.

[Cobemindala]

sed tum quomodo fiat, ne inter versus elisio / synaloephe legatur - aut rarissime ....?

[MaBu888]

I vary it now.

[MaBu888]

Maybe the final M's preceding vowel was completely elided, or a trace of it left in synaloephe. At the end of the line the final m consonant could have been silent, but the vowel would be an allophone of m, and to the untrained ear, sound like a full um/am/em/im. That's how Winge, the youtube user who uploaded very well articluated and technically precise recordings of Latin poetry.

[MaBu888]

About the paues in the end of a line in poetry, I'd say I'd do synaloephe, but not full elision because that would ruin the rythm of the line. Perhaps there should be a pause when grammatical correction would be of dire need. Perhaps I can be understood, because at times I can't fully express my mind in matters such as how I elide stuff.

[MaBu888]

I'll have to express it in English - I think synaloephe of the final vowel plus m is due to the fact(or educated guess) that am/em/im/um ar nasal vowels with the lenght of long vowels. Due to nasalization they are synaloephed and ordinary vowels are/were synaloephed or completetly elided. Aslo, final m assinilated to m when in contact with another word starting with m, b or p, into an n-like sound when followed by n, d, r, s, t, (Z), hence the timidity of Romans to use the form CVM NOS - CVNNOS!
