Stress evidence of dual forms in Old Russian

[billings at fas.ag-berlin.mpg.de]

Dear colleagues:

It's summer again and Loren B. is looking for linguistic pollen:

I understand that in many noun classes of Old Russian the NOM/ACC dual form
was spelled the same as the GEN.SG (or even NOM.PL).  Is there any evidence
to show whether there was a stress distinction to distinguis between these
forms?  The tests that come to mind are meter in poetry or rhyming in general.

Please send answers to me (note my new address below) and I'll post a
summary.  Let me know if you don't wish to be cited in the summary.

Sincerely,  --LAB
