Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editMorphologically can be derived from -ě/i- optative-imperative. *-mь (1sg.opt.) is attested in:
- Perfective verbs (-C-, -V/C-): Old Church Slavonic ⱁⱅⱏⱂⰰⰴⱑⰿⱏ (otŭpaděmŭ), Church Slavonic приимѣмъ/приимѣмь (priiměmŭ/priiměmĭ), бѫдѣмъ/бѫдѣмь (bǫděmŭ/bǫděmĭ) and possibly Old Serbo-Croatian [script needed] (budijem), [script needed] (umrim/umrjm/umrim')
- Imperfective verbs (-C-, -ě/i-?): Old Serbo-Croatian [script needed] (mozimь/mozěm) (IvanMisc.) and possibly hotiem/hodiem[1][2]
- Therefore some OCS plural forms are reshaped after synonymous by-forms:
Compare Latvian biju (“I was”), Latin fīō (“I become”), Old Irish bíu (“I am”)
