“…(Jachmann 1915: esp. 50-53;Harsh 1940). But the line-final positioning of these forms has also been taken to be diagnostic of archaism, under the assumption that Plautus preferred to set archaic forms at line-ends.…”

“…Under this approach, the loquier-type with light antepenult is nearly absent from the Plautine corpus because it could not be set in the line-final position that Plautus preferred for archaisms. But this view has been justly challenged (Harsh 1940, cf. Jachmann 1915: other archaic forms, including ones of this metrical shape, are amply attested in line-interiors as well.…”

A largely overlooked equation of the Latin present passive morpheme -rier with Sabellic [fẹ:(r)] (Osc. -fír, U. -f(e)i) and further Indo-Iranian *-dhāi is discussed and defended, with new argumentation and hitherto unappreciated or ignored philological material. The history of the Indo-Iranian infinitive ending is examined afresh and reevaluated, also on the basis of much hitherto unappreciated philological material: contrary to the prevailing view, it was originally depresential rather than deradical, and probably used with derived thematic verbs. This has important ramifications for Indo-European and for the distribution of Latin -rier.
