1. Although the investigation is based only on Indo-European languages, the author assumes his generalisation to be valid for all languages (Maøczak 1963: 19; 1978: 57). Maøczak regards his investigation as different from Kury:owicz’s (especially Kury:owicz 1949; see Maøczak 1978). The universals of Kury:owicz and Maøczak are quite distinct from each other (see Best 1973: 61-107 and Anttila 1977: 76-80). 2. An implication?IF there is analogical replacement of stems and affixes of non-3rd person’s forms, THEN there is replacement of stems and affixes of 3rd person’s forms.
