The paper addresses the reconstruction of the Indo‐European verbal derivational category that is conventionally called ‘ ē ‐statives’ can be illustrated by Lat. sen‐ē‐re ‘to be old’ or tac‐ē‐re ‘to be silent’. Its empirical contribution consists in tracing the Old Indicreflexes of ‘ ē ‐statives’, which have not been systematically investigated up to now. The analysis of the new data is conducive to the conclusion that that the Indo‐European stative suffix * ‐eh 1 ‐i̯e/o‐ was originally typical of denominative verbs belonging to the Caland System. Its subsequent spread to primary verbs was implemented indifferent ways in individual ancient Indo‐European languages, and therefore need not be projected into Proto‐Indo‐European.
