Abstract

In the most Slavic languages the OSlav. adverb *doma *dom> (m.), gen.
*doma ‘domus’ means ‘domi’, but in Slovenian, Croate, Serbian, Macedonian
and Bulgarian it also means ‘domum’ and in Polabian only ‘domum’. The realization
of the directional meaning (quo? —» ‘domum’) or of the locative one (ubi?
—» ‘domi’) is syntactically conditioned by choise of the predicative meaning. This
alternative realization into one of the two possible meanings was in the Old
Slavonic inherited from the IE stage, where it was the characteristic of locative.
