Формант *-ъtь и склонение слов типа *nogъtь, *olkъtь, *degъtь, *desętь и *dьnь в праславянском
Formant *-ъtь and declension of words such as *nogъtь, *olkъtь, *degъtь, *desętь and *dьnь in Proto-Slavic language

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the formation of the characteristic Proto-Slavic nominal declension paradigm, which originally included the words *nogъtь ‘nail’, *olkъtь ‘elbow’, *degъtь ‘tar’, *desętь ‘ten’ and *dьnь ‘day’, later enriching itself mostly with derivatives with the formant *-ъtь. The author looks at the history of the formant as well as its combinatory power, depending on the final consonant of the stem, which in its turn can help determine articulatory characteristics of the late Proto-Slavic language *l. Apart from that, derivates with the formant *-ъtь are subdivided according to corresponding chronological layers and a number of details related to their history are analysed.
