Bulgarian verb classes

[Stephen Dickey]

Dear South Slavic specialists,
I was wondering whether anyone knows of a Bulgarian historial grammar that
specifically includes a treatment of the fate of Leskiens verb classes in
Bulgarian. In particular, I'm interested in the fate of class II verbs
(-n-) verbs in Bulgarian. For instance OCS attests  only pasti, but Mod
Bulg has adopted padna. Many other such examples could be adduced.
Information on any articles that deal with this topic is also appreciated.
As this issue almost certainly involves the loss of the infinitive in
Bulgarian, I'm grateful for any references to treatments of history of the
the loss of the infinitive in Bulg as well. I've had no luck finding
anything on these topics in the historical grammars I have access to.
Thanks,
Stephen Dickey
