<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Dr. Deutscher:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> After seeing
the first round of responses to your query, I suggest that it may be useful to
you to turn to <U>The Syntactic Development of the Infinitive in
Indo-European</U> by Dorothy Disterheft, which was published in 1980 by Slavica
Publishers. It emphasizes the material from Vedic, Avestan, Old Irish, and
Hittite. The book is a revision of her UCLA dissertation. The syntactic
emphasis provides an important context for the interpretation of the
morphological evidence of the early forms, which otherwise may be ambiguous, as
one of my teachers, Cal Watkins, used to emphasize. </FONT></DIV>
