Abstract
In this paper I analyze, departing from a corpus comprising works ranging from the 13th to the 19th century, the intraparadigmatic velarization process underwent by verbs like deure ‘to owe’ or valdre ‘to cost’. In this verb subclass, /g/ extension spreads from tenses coming from Latin perfect theme (3rd dēbuit > dec ‘s/he owed’) towards the first person of the present indicative and the present subjunctive, which initially present a palatal stem (1st dēbeō > deig ‘I owe’).
