Why is it important?

This paper shows that this kind of irregularity fits with established historical relationships between meanings and provides information about how further research might produce increased understanding of these patterns.

Perspectives

This paper represents on-going research on suppletion that includes Juge (1999) and Juge (2013) and, in the broader context of what I call 'paradigmatic perversity', including reviews that I published in 2006 and 2013.
