The orthography and the quantity of the penultimate vowel of Cenomani have given rise to discussion. According to Arbois de Jubainville, the Cenomani of Italy are not identical with the Cenomani (or Cenomanni) of Gaul. In the case of the latter, the survival of the syllable " man " in Le Mans is due to the stress laid on the vowel; had the vowel been short and unaccented, it would have disappeared. In Italy, Cenomani is the name of a people; in Gaul, merely a surname of the Aulerci. See A. Voisin, Les Cenomans anciens et modernes (Le Mans, 1862) ; A. Desjardins, Geographie historique de la Gaule romaine, ii. (1876-1893); Arbois de Jubainville, Les Premiers Habitants de l'Europe (1889-1894); article and authorities in La Grande Encyclopedie; C. Hi lsen in Pauly-Wissowa's Realencyclopadie, iii. pt. 2 (1899) ; full ancient authorities in A. Holder, Alt-celtischer Sprachschatz, i. (1896).
