Summary/Abstract: The article presents an attempt to identify the pattern according to which pairs of common-rooted verbs ending with -іти and -ити (of the types білíти, жовтíти, чорнíти and біли́ти, жовти́ти, чорни́ти) are stressed in present-day Ukrainian. For instance, why do we have a verb with a movable stress біли́ти – білю́, бíлиш and a verb with a fixed inflection stress чорни́ти – чорню́, чорни́ш among the verbs with -ити in modern Ukrainian? They are both derivatives of the stem-stressed adjectives білий and чорний and the respective derivative verbs with -іти have the accentual features of the corresponding adjectives: білíти – білíю, білíєш and чорнíти – чорнíю, чорнíєш. The author believes that primary cor­relation of the accentual features of the verbs of both types is reflected by the pairs чорнíти – чорни́ти and so on. But nowadays this pattern is already violated in many cases because the verbs with -ити in modern Ukrainian are intensively losing their ultimate stress and developing a movable stress or a fixed stem stress instead. For example, the primary accentual correlation красíти – краси́ти – крашу́, краси́ш is being changed to the correlation красíти – крáсити – крáшу, крáсиш. Likewise, the modern correlation оголíти – оголи́ти – оголю́, огóлиш has replaced the former one оголíти – оголи́ти – оголю́, оголи́ш etc.
