                    I thought about what is the closest equivalent to a queen sacrifice and came to the loss of a sound which is called a syncope. According to wikipedia, there is a “Diachronic analysis” of “syncope”. I’m not 100% positive that “diachronic syncope” is word actually used but diachronic is kind of “through time” so “diachronic syncope” would be the permanent loss of a sound like from Latin “calidum” to Italian “caldo” for example.
