What’s a colllar? Unless, of course, you meant coll3lar. (You use the Italian pronunciation for the 3.)

Now I'm confused. I thought under the Italian pronunciation the 3 was both silent and invisible, so that the spelling remains 'collar," although the pronunciation changes radically, except for those from the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region.
