Bernard Comrie, in his contribution on the Slavic languages to the volume edit ed by J. Gvozdanović (p. 766), reports a fact of particular historical interest. In pre senting the forms and behavior of the 'teens amongst the numerals' Comrie states that two accentual patterns apply, an oxytone and a recessive, i.e. -nájst and ÚNIT najst. However, he points out that exceptionally in the case of '1l' only enájst the oxy tone occurs.
