I think it's needed to explain a multitude of phenomena,
ranging from preserved length (e.g. Slovak thematic verbal
-ie-, NA pl. -á; Czech Lpl. -ích (Kashubian -e.X), Dpl.
-u:m, even SCr. Gpl. -a: [I know you won't agree]), the
neo-circumflex in Slovene, and stress retractions in e.g.
Russian (DLpl. ljúdjam, ljúdjax), Serbian/Croatian (DLIpl.
ko``njima) and Slovene (Lsg. kô,nju, Lpl. kó.njih, Ipl.
kó.nji).
