Editing Reforms of French orthography (section)

====Schwa changing into open ''e''====

In verbs with an infinitive in ''{{lang|fr|-eler}}'' or ''{{lang|fr|-eter}}'', the [[vowel height|opening]] of the [[schwa]] ({{IPAslink|ə}} → {{IPAslink|ɛ}}) could previously be noted either by changing the ''e'' to ''è'' or by doubling the following ''l'' or ''t'', depending on the verb in question. With this reform, only the first rule shall be used except in the cases of ''{{lang|fr|appeler}}'', ''{{lang|fr|jeter}}'', and their [[derivation (linguistics)|derivatives]] (which continue to use ''ll'' and ''tt'' respectively).
<!-- (unnecessary historical detail) This is caused by the fact that the historic gemination of consonants (in conjugated verbs where the final schwa desinences became silent) is no longer pronounced and has been replaced by opening the preceding vowel in standard French phonology. To keep the spelling without a written double consonant, the accent becomes necessary to keep the vowel open.-->

:''{{lang|fr|j'étiquette}}'' → ''{{lang|fr|j'étiquète}}'' (I label)

This applies also when those verbs are nominalized using the [[suffix]] ''{{lang|fr|-ement}}'':

:''{{lang|fr|amoncellement}}'' → ''{{lang|fr|amoncèlement}}'' (pile)
