In Memoriam: William Riegel Schmalstieg (3 October 1929 – 22 January 2021)
William Riegel Schmalstieg, who was born in Sayre, Pennsylvania, held a position at the Department of Slavic of The Pennsylvania State University from 1964 to his retirement as a Sparks professor of Slavic and Baltic linguistics in 2001. Before he entered Breck School in Minnesota, which at the time was an Episcopal boys' school with a military curriculum, Bill had spent seven years in Vermillion, South Dakota, followed by two years in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

The fate of the neuter o-stems in Balto-Slavic
Derksen discusses neuter o-stems in Balto-Slavic language. In his monograph on nominal accentuation in Baltic and Slavic (1963), Illic-Svityc tried to explain why so many Proto-Indo-European (PIE) neuter 0-stems appear to have become masculine in Slavic, an observation which was first made by Hirt (1893). A comparison with accentual data from Baltic, Greek, Sanskrit and Germanic led Illic-Svityc to conclude that PIE barytone neuter o-stems correspond with Slavic masculine o-stems belonging to the barytone class in the case of \"long\" roots and to the oxytone class in the case of \"short\" roots. In originally masculine o-stems with a non-acute root, accentual mobility has been generalized. Thus, Slavic masculine o-stems belonging to AP (b) in principle continue old neuters.

Slavic evidence for Balto-Slavic oxytona
The shape of the Slavic mobile paradigm was partly determined by a retraction of the stress from final open syllables to an immediately preceding syllable unless the latter was closed by an obstruent, the final stress dealing with a mobile verb. Several occasions that the aforementioned formulation of the retraction implies that in Late Balto-Slavic neuter o-stems there existed an oxytone paradigm alongside the regular immobile and mobile paradigms. Here, Derksen examines a number of instances where a final jer preceded by a consonant cluster which may be assumed to have retained the stress up to the stage where final jers lost their stressability and proceed to more general observations, while referring to monograph on nominal accentuation in Baltic and Slavic.

NOTES ON THE SLAVIC METATHESIS OF LIQUIDS
An attempt is made to establish the origin of South Slavic forms that appear to have escaped the metathesis of liquids and view them within the context of a relative chronology. The article includes a discussion of the relevant material in John the Exarch's Hexaemeron. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Accent Matters
The accentual systems of the Baltic and Slavic languages continue to intrigue scholars of general and historical linguistics. They play an important role in the reconstruction of the linguistic ancestor of Baltic and Slavic, but also in the typological study of accentual systems. This volume contains contributions related to the accentology of the Baltic and Slavic languages by leading scholars in the field. They discuss the accentual systems that are attested in Baltic and Slavic dialects and texts, and the historical developments that led to these systems. The volume further contains contributions on similar accentual systems and developments in other languages, such as Abkhaz and the Mordvinian languages. A number of papers also deal with the role of the Balto-Slavic accents in the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European. The volume reflects the progress that has been made in the field of Baltic and Slavic accentuation during the last decades. It forms a major source for anyone interested in the latest developments and insights in the study of accentuation.

Old Icelandic jarpi 'Hazel-Grouse', rjúpa 'Ptarmigan' and their Germanic and Balto-Slavic Cognates
Henning Andersen's (1996) etymology for Proto-Slavic *jereb' 'hazel-grouse, partridge' & its North European cognates is reexamined, considering whether the complicated morphology of the etyma proposed could be better explained by borrowing from a substratum language. Slavic, Baltic, & Germanic ornithonyms, dendronyms, & color terms are investigated to determine a relationship between these three categories. It is argued that it is possible to establish the root *reb- & its variant *reub-, both occurring with prenasalization & \"e-prefixation,\" which indicates that they originate from a substratum language. The original meaning of *reb-, which appears in Germanic, Baltic, & Slavic bird names may have been 'dark, swarthy' or 'with dark spots or stripes'. In Baltic & Slavic, the ornithonyms, whose original meaning was probably 'hazel-grouse', reappear in the names of the snowball-tree & rowan-tree. In Slavic, the bird name additionally developed into a color term. 33 References. Z. Dubiel
