Citazioni 

In the inflection of “stone” and of many other nouns, the genitive singular and the nominative-accusative plural had now become identical […]; likewise the dative singular and genitive plural […]. Such a falling-together of the shapes representative of different inflectional forms, brought about by sound change, is known as ‘syncretism’.
- Hockett (1958), a pag.387-388
