If there are analogical changes in their inflectional paradigms, the forms (stems and affixes) of indicative forms are more likely replaced than the forms (stems and affixes) of other moods.

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). Best 1973: 98 finds no evidence for this universal even in the statistical data cited by Maøczak himself. 2. An implication?IF there is replacement of stems and affixes of non-indicative forms, THEN there is replacement of stems and affixes of indicative forms.
