摘要：This paper gives a thorough discussion of the historical development of the accentual paradigms of masculine o-stems in Croatian, starting with Proto-Slavic and ending with the modern Štokavian, Čakavian, and Kajkavian dialects. The development is explained for each accentual paradigm (a, b, and c). Apart from the description of the development of the accentual paradigms, a list of the basic inherited words with their individual accentual paradigms is provided. The article ends with an additional discussion of the problem of the genitive plural (the accent and the -ā ending).
