càuda vs. calda

[edit]

The form càuda is about 10x more common than calda in English; and the form calda is so rare in Italian that Google nGrams doesn't register it at all.

Standard American sources like Waverly Root's The Food of Italy, the old Time-Life Foods of the World series, and Italian sources like Carnacina-Veronelli, La Cucina Rustica Regionale all use càuda; though La Cucina: The Regional Cooking of Italy by The Italian Academy of Cuisine uses caôda.

So where did we get the idea that "calda" is more common than "càuda"?

This article needs to be moved back to Bagna càuda. --Macrakis (talk) 16:58, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. I was working from Google Books results. Thanks Macrakis for the stats tool, which I didn't know about before. North America1000 18:39, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
