We call -i/n- Heteroclits five nouns which present an alternation in this way: an i-stem of N.A.sg. (or masculine gender) is opposed to an n-stem of oblique cases (or feminine gender). In four of them this system is used for the opposition of case: this formation appears only in O.I.: áks̟i, etc. In the remaining nouns, the -i/n- alternance serves for the opposition of gender: O.L. m. páti- / f. pátnī-, and related forms. The author reviews the etymology of all these nouns: there are phonetic reasons to suppose that the alternation -i/n- is apparent; in all cases they are laryngeal stems, as it is justified by comparative material. In short, this inflexional type must be reduced to the heteroclitic -ø/n- stem.
