Abstract
In this article, the author deals with remnants of accent paradigm B among i-type nouns in the Croatian language, linking the existing data on short-root and long-root nouns. First, we briefly take into account the development of a. p. B among i-type nouns and comment on dialectal remnants in Knin and Ivoševci. Second, we deal with the disappearance of a. p. B and the origin of the cited dialectal forms. Third, we take a closer look at how the noun stvãr, the sole though altered survivor of a. p. B, shifted to a. p. C (or sometimes a. p. A). All three parts discuss traces of the even rarer accent paradigm B among i-type nouns, of which only a few historical examples are attested inCroatian.
