L'ancienne pronociation

Je suis curieux. Savez-vous si le "ds" et le "d" se prononçait auparavant, dans l'ancienne pronociation française ?

Aren't there some past participles that don't ever agree? In 501 verbs, some are listed with their pp showing possible agreement and some not. Eg réveillé(e)(s) but réussi

a commentI found it helpful to know the original usage of the passe simple, which was absorbed into the perfect tense when spoken . It worked alongside the imperfect where the imperfect gave a habit the passe simple was one off. I wish the passe simple would be used more!

Puzzling translation

Mes amis pèlent tous les étés !
My friends' skin peels every summer

Should this be "My friends peel every summer" as the French seems to imply more than one friend ?
