Panaši fonologinė raida lietuvių kalbos tariamojoje nuosakoje ir lotynų kalbos supine
A similar phonological development in the Lithuanian optative and the Latin supine

Summary/Abstract: In an earlier article I proposed a scenario to explain the origin of the *-o stem dative, accusative and instrumental singular cases. Sandhi variation depending originally on whether the following word began with a vowel (V) or a consonant (C) created for an etymological single case different realizations which in the course of history adopted different functions, viz. -om + V > -om + V (i.e., no change), but -om + C > -ō + C. For the most part -om was generalized as the accusative singular and -ō was generalized as the dative and instrumental singular.
