Resumen

This article addresses a problem that has not been too often raised when reconstructing Basque demonstratives. I will propose that distal plural demonstratives underwent a morphological restructuring ; thus, the dialectal variation we find across texts and nowadays speech (basically aek vs. ek) is due not to phonetic changes, but to the aforesaid morphological reorganizing of the demonstratives. This proposal will be useful for a better understanding of the diachrony of declension, for a better explanation of different accentuation patterns, as well as diachronic dialectology and contact issues.
