The obsolescence of the phenomenon is considered as well as possible foreign influence on it. Its similarities and differences in particular Balkan languages are pointed out. A conclusion is made that the phenomenon discussed has different frequency in the different Balkan languages (higher in Albanian and Modern Greek in comparison with Bulgarian and Romanian) which is indicative of its polygenesis.1 aАсенова, Петя1 aКацори, Тома1 aДукова, Уте  uhttp://scripta-bulgarica.eu/bg/biblio/asenova1990
