The SSC [euil/euill] sounds like the long [eu/œu] + 'yih', like in the word 'feuille' which means leaf.
The preposition 'sans' can be followed by a noun or a verb in its infinitive form.
The -IR verbs 'sortir', 'venir' , 'partir', 'devenir' and 'revenir' follow the same pattern of verb endings.
In the 3rd person plural form these -IR verbs end in -ent.
The verb 'sortir' keeps the 't' to become 'sortent' and 'venir' doubles its 'n' to become 'viennent'.

The 3rd person plural 'they' form of the verb 'sortir' is 'sorent' and of the verb 'venir' is 'vienent'.

The verb 'sortir' keeps its 't' to become 'sortent and the verb 'venir' doubles its 'n' to become 'viennent'.

[euil/euill] - sound-symbol correspondence (SSC) like the 'euill' in 'feuille' which means 'leaf'
3rd person plural - form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to 'they'
