(Some remarks on the roots *seh3- and *seh1p- in Anatolian). The paper discusses the Hittite words sūwasali- (a functionary), sapāsalli- ‘scout’ and the eleven words containing the individualizing suffix -sepa-. While sūwasali- is tentatively connected with the PIE root *seh1/3- ‘to be/become full’ (as “filler”), sapāsalli- and -sepa- could be Luwian resp. Hittite instantiations of the root *seh1p- ‘to perceive’, the latter showing a transitionfrom an action noun ‘perception’ to a result noun ‘occurrence’, which is later bleached semantically. Details of the word formation of the concerning forms are discussed, too.

The article gives an outline of the inflectional peculiarities of Proto-Indo-European and its daughter languages, comparing it with unrelated languages, which show hardly any parallels to its pronominal inflection. The latter, constituting a functionally unmotivated divergence from the nominal paradigms, is presented as a probably recent development, which on the other side later leads to a levelling of nominal and pronominal endings in many Indo-European languages, although in some of them inflectional differences may persist until the present day. It is argued that the fusional morphosyntax of Indo- European faciliates linguistic changes of that kind.
