No, I couldn't cope with spin like that. It's like this: A completely
tenacious athematic verb gives way to the *emerging* semi-thematic
compromise type created by the adjustment of other old athematics and
the allegro variants of a few thematics. In its compliance with the
emerging trend 'I am' shows a bit more conservatism than other
athematics by keeping -m. That is pretty normal procdure everywhere.
