Popis:	This paper aims to describe the origin of Baltic *īr ‘there is/are; is/are’ that appears to be due to the conflation of the demonstrative pronoun *ī (< instr. sg. *h1i-h1) and two postpositions: -r- (cf. OIcel. þa-r ‘there’) and -ā. The latter comes from the abl. sg. of the IE demonstrative pronoun *h1e/o-. The presented analysis sheds some light on the etymology of the Lithuanian conjunction ir ‘and’ and Slavonic i ‘and’ (< *ī < instr. sg. *h1i-h1).
