page 297 note 1 Primitive forms which contradict ordinary grammatical analogies hold their ground best (against the levelling tendency) in words that are in hourly use; fert, est, it, are practically the only non-thematic verbs left in Latin, and in Greek it is the well-worn that have preserved the intricate inflexion of the verbs in μι.
