This text is devoted to simultaneous approximation to ξ and ξ by rational numbers with the same denominator, where ξ is an irrational non-quadratic real number. We focus on an exponent β0(ξ) that measures the regularity of the sequence of all exceptionally precise such approximants. We prove that β0(ξ) takes the same set of values as a combinatorial quantity that measures the abundance of palin...

It was particularly common in past-participial forms, yet was never obligatory with them (the way its cognates became obligatory in German and Dutch) and was also regularly found on other forms.

Most Slavic prefixes do share such a dominant spatial meaning with their cognate prepositions, cf., e.g., the Russian prefix vand preposition v, both meaning ‘into.’ Orphan prefixes appear to be an important component of many Slavic aspectual systems. ...
