Abstract
This paper explores phenomena affecting to various degrees the historical opposition of two verb stems in Tat, an Iranian language spoken in the Caucasus. Using corpora from a number of Tat varieties collected by different authors throughout the past century and a half as well interviews with modern-day native speakers, I illustrate the gradual blurring of the distinction between the stems resulting from what appears to be a morphological change in progress.
