Italian monosyllable madness cleanup

general objective: bring 'Spoken Italian' on the wikt

standard italian has some things characteristic only of tuscan, an uncommon to the rest of Italy. I'm trying to add 'Common Italian' to account to the usual form of a word, before only-tuscan shifts, ie:
- /e/ > /i/ in monosyllables. de is 'common italian' for di, ce for ci etc. etymologies will say "(eg) di: From older de (still found in most varieties of regional italian)"
- usage of il (< el) instead of lo, and gli/i instead of li
- loss of initial gemination so /'pju*/ and /'kwa*/ instead of 'common italian' /*'pju*/ and /*'kwa*/, etymologies will say "the original (eg) -cc-, though lost in the standard languague, is still found in most/some varieties of regional italian"
wide spread innovations' absence
- uno, una > 'no, 'na
- la > 'a
- con, per > co', pe'
