  Athematic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The distinction between thematic and athematic roots is especially apparent in the Greek verb ; they fall into two classes that are marked by quite different personal endings.
In Greek, athematic verbs are a closed class of inherited forms from the parent Indo-European language.
The thematic and athematic distinction also applies to nouns; many of the older Indo-European languages distinguish between "vowel stems" and "consonant stems" in the declension of nouns.

 An Overview of the PIE Verb System
The nasal suffix * -néu- /* -nu-, usually enforcing the weak vocalism of the root, produces (often transitive and vaguely causative) athematic verbs that refer to the beginning or termination of an action (the learned word for that is ‘inchoative ’), or suggest that something is done once (rather than repeated).
As, technically speaking, these stems are athematic, the general terms “thematic” vs. “athematic” should be replaced with something more appropriate.
Athematic verbs often preserve the original stress variation and the corresponding vowel-grade contrasts.

 Irregular verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most irregular Latin verbs are themselves vestiges of the athematic conjugations of Indo-European, a surviving (and regular) group found in Greek.
Greek and Sanskrit show even greater complexities, with widely different thematic and athematic inflection sets; which set goes with which verb stem cannot be predicted by rule.
In languages of this type, these variations are not usually enough to label a verb "irregular".

There are not very many attempts to investigate the problem of the spread of the athematic first person singular and plural endings to the thematic verbs in the Slavic languages (Darden 1995, Janda 1994, 1996 and Mirchev 1978).
This paper speaks to the spread of the athematic 1st person singular and plural inflections in Bulgarian language.
At the present stage of the Standard Modern Bulgarian the inflections spread to the group of verbs that appear with same paradigms for both perfective and imperfective aspects.

On the other hand, the object function is argued not to be thematic (i.e., semantically selected by the matrix predicate), based on its ability to be realized as an expletive pronoun, and the long-distance nature of focus raising.
A pattern of variation among Hungarian speakers observed by Gervain (2002) shows that this athematic object function may host either functional or anaphoric binders for the embedded clause subject.
Anaphoric binding from an athematic position leads to a violation of the semantic Coherence condition (Dalrymple 2001, p.

 Formation of Tenses
Depending on the way these endings attach to the stem, three kinds of aorist are distinguished: 1.) the root-aorist (with the subdivision root aorist with reduplication), 2.) the extended aorist and 3.) the intransitive aorist.
While the root aorist is to be found in the thematic as well as the athematic flexion, the other two are only athematic.
The athematic verbs form the root-aorist from the present stem where also the stem reduction in the fourth to sixth person occurs.

Athematic verbs, more commonly referred-to as MI verbs, were regularly conjugated in older Greek with the endings: -N/-S/-/-MEN/-TE/-SAN.
BUT already in classical Attic some of these verbs were in the process of shifting over to OMEGA type conjugation.
In the GNT the fluctuation between omega conjugation and athematic conjugation is visible in the concurrent forms for the third plural of DIDWMI: in Mk 3:6 and 15:23 we have an Omega-conjugation form of 3d plural: EDIDOUN, while Jn 19:3 displays the older form EDIDOSAN--and there's no difference in meaning.

 School of Celtic Studies - Indo-European origins of the Celtic Verb: The sigmatic aorist
Part One will be concerned with the origins, in anterior stages of Indo-European itself, of the sigmatic aorist in its 'classical' form, and the morphological transformations which brought about the creation of this category in one dialect area of Indo-European.
The first of these is concerned with the development and expansion of certain suffix forms, which are identical in type with Sanskrit set forms, and admit of the same explanation as these.
The nature of the particular historical problem, and the solution there presented, may be viewed as a microcosm of the technique and methodology of historical linguistic analysis which I am here advocating.

tries to show that a similar process is at work in the abolition of the athematic inflection in the Greek verb, the imperative being the first conquest of thematic inflection, then the 2.
In this case, the athematic forms would be metrically equivalent.
So within a classical phasal model of the evolution of the epic language, we might suppose that at some time the tradition changed from a dialect that preserved athematic inflection in these verbs (Aeolic is a natural choice, as the athematic inflection was productive there) to a dialect without athematic inflection, like Ionic.

In the fairly conservative milieu of that time, he was noted not only for his microtonal and atonal athematic compositions.
In discussing questions of national music, the composer sought to expand the traditional concept of Lithuanian art based on recreating the folk models, and to bring attention to the intuition and individuality of the artist.
He wrote freely and with little effort, using newly learned principles of composing in microtones and an athematic form.

Most do, but it is not a "root aorist." We will study these aorists later, so I postpone description of their characteristics.
To distinguish this type of athematic aorist from the mysterious one in 2a, we need to call it as in the title, “athematic long-vowel aorist.” Too long.
Before the long thematic vowel of the subjunctive, the long stem vowel ω; was shortened, as is normally the case for a long vowel before another vowel.
