What is the capital of Tunisia?

Where did the initial t come from in tante?

The Littré has this hypothesis, ta ante has agglutinated in tante which would have turn into a noun.

It gives some examples in Walloon with which monfré is brother and mononk is uncle.

I found: kimin s’ poitt voss monfrér ? = Comment se porte votre frère ?

A similar agglutination exists with monsieur where mon has lost its adjectival status: ton monsieur, mon bon monsieur are possible.
