Three brief studies: slovene and albanian

Abstract

Bernard Comrie, in his contribution  on the  Slavic languages to the volume edit­ ed by J. Gvozdanović (p. 766), reports a fact of particular historical interest. In pre­ senting the forms and behavior of the 'teens amongst the numerals' Comrie states that two accentual patterns apply, an oxytone and a recessive, i.e. -nájst and ÚNIT­ najst. However, he points out that exceptionally in the case of '1l' only enájst the oxy­ tone occurs.
