The Accentuation of the Baltic preterit (and of the Balto-Slavic ā-aorist)
LTPrabaltų -ē- preteritai šalia -ia- prezensų įprastai buvo kirčiuoti šaknyje, kaip lauktina iš baltų-slavų perspektyvos ir kaip dabar rodo naujas požiūris į baltų cirkumfleksinę metatoniją ir su ja susijusius reiškinius. Mobilieji -ē- preteritai buvo kirčiuoti galūnėje: bl. *arē (lie. ãrė). Savo ruožtu bl. *arē kilo iš ankstyvojo bl. *ariiā, o tai rodo, kad baltų-slavų mobilieji -ā- aoristai buvo kirčiuoti aoristo priesagoje bent 3 a. vns. formoje: bl.-sl. *ar-ā. [Iš leidinio]
ENThe Proto-Baltic ē-preterit to ia-presents was normally accented on the root, as expected from a Balto-Slavic perspective and as borne out by close consideration of Baltic circumflex metatony and related issues. Mobile ē-preterits were stressed on the suffix in mobile paradigms: Bl. *arē ‘ploughed’ (Lith. ãrė). In its turn Bl. *arē goes back to early Bl. *ariiā, which implies that Balto-Slavic mobile ā-aorists were accented on the aorist marker at least in the 3rd singular: Bl.-Sl. *ar-ā. Keywords: Baltic; Slavic; Balto-Slavic; preterit; aorist; accent; metatony; ablaut. [From the publication]
