Inherited accent

@CodeCat Should this be *praśéitei? Baltic and Slavic descendants show this accent.

@JohnC5 I've moved the page and provided a source for both the ending and the initial accent. Given that the root was non-acute, it was susceptible to rightward movement in Lithuanian and Slavic via De Saussure's law and Dybo's law respectively, so the accent of the infinitive in these languages does not have to be original. Slavic has accent paradigm b, which specifically reflects Balto-Slavic stems with fixed accent on the last syllable of the stem, in which Dybo's law shifted the accent onto the ending. —Rua (mew) 14:00, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
