The advantages of this arrangement are 1. That it supposes a fairly continuous development, each stage in the process being so to speak homogeneous until it is completed. a. The singular perfect active is remodelled on 2. iii. different forms within its own system are levelled. B. The aorist which has i. ii. meanwhile undergone phonetic change and consequent internal analogical readjustment, is now gradually and consistently remodelled on the plan of the perfect, which still survives. iii. The loss of its 1st person by rhotacism precipitates the fusion of the tenses, and The flexion of the aorist is now transferred bodily to the perfect as well. By taking the aorist as the back-bone of the structure it avoids the difficulty of lengthening the stem-vowel of the perfect. 3. It shortens the process by which t or d is added to the 3rd pers. sing. of the form with a long stem-vowel. 4. It accepts the aid of both methods of explaining the formation of the 2nd pers. sing. in -isti, and 5. This part of the scheme is not vitiated by Osthoff's objection to "ueidǝsm etc." in I.-Eu. since deiximus, deixtis would give deixti on the /. of vidimus, vistis, visti. 6. Osthoff's objection (Perf. p. 571) to the accent veidesmus sédesbos by the side of Casména *pruzvína is now removed if we suppose the first to have belonged to the older, the others to the later stage of the Latin accent: v. supra, p. 65 foll. 1 •/.= analogy.
