The formation of the denominated double-attacks from Latin to the Romanic languages—and more specifically to French in the case that concerns us (i.e., TABULA > table, ARBORE > arbre, NUMERU > nombre, etc.)—is here analyzed in the frame of declarative phonology from a diachronic perspective, and has a starting point in the notion of dominion. This approach has enabled the enumeration of the strong restrictions upon the consonants that constitute the attacks, as well as the creation of a typology that accounts for their performance within the syllable in such a way that the positions of the prosodic curve reveal their importance in the formation of the double-attacks
