==Indo-European nasal infix==
{{main|Nasal infix}}<!-- NB: There is ambiguity whether [[Nasal infix]] is a general-linguistics or a PIE-specific article, it needs to be fixed. But pro tem...-->
The [[present tense]] of some [[Proto-Indo-European verb]]s, in the case of a certain number of roots, adds a [[nasal infix]] (''m'', ''n'') to the basic [[Proto-Indo-European root|root]]. The stems of the other tenses have the root without the infix, and thus these verbs are called ''nasal-presents''. This phenomenon is inherited, and preserved to varying degrees, by some early [[Indo-European languages|daughter]] languages such as [[Sanskrit]], [[Ancient Greek]], [[Latin language]], etc.<ref name=Fort525>{{Harvnb|Fortson|2010|loc=§5.25}}</ref>

* Sanskrit exhibits the greatest transparency of this feature amongst the [[Indo-European languages]], with the phenomenon manifesting in three of the ten traditional verb classes, where the infix is higher-grade and accent-bearing in the strong forms, and reduced-grade in the weak forms.<ref name=SzInf>{{Harvnb|Szemerényi|1996|loc=§9.4.1.3}}</ref><ref>{{Harvnb|Burrow|2001|p=289}}</ref> For example, {{lang|sa|√yuj-}}, 'join' has {{lang|sa|yu·ná·k·ti}} 's/he joins' ↔ {{lang|sa|yu·ñj·ánti}}, 'they join'.<ref>{{Harvnb|Burrow|2001|loc=§7.8}}</ref>
