The article deals with the no-stem forms of the verb, their use and distribution in Latvian dialects. The no-stems of the verb in the Latvian Standard language are quite common, e.g., brist-brienu, skriet-skrienu, siet-sienu, etc., but in some dialects, verbs with -au- in the root also are conjugated as no-stems (aut-aunu, šūt, šūnu, etc.), as far as the verb gūt. The article analyzes all forms of persons, both singular and plural. As shown by geolinguistic maps, verb no-stems are distributed throughout the territory of Latvian dialects. The distribution areas of no-stem forms are similar in all persons. They make large compact area in High Latvian dialect, they are less common in the Middle and Livonic dialects. Verbs with person endings are characteristic of the Middle and High Latvian dialects; there is also generalized 3rd person form (aun, šun, etc.) mainly in the Livonic dialect. Forms with ļ such as aunļu, aunli, etc. are fixed in some eastern subdialects of Latgale; phonetically ļ could have originated from j or could be interpreted morphologically, too. Analysis of no-stem forms of the verbs found in the dialect materials collected in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century shows that they are quite common alongside the forms of io-stem forms. New comparative studies that reflect their dynamics would be very useful. Two geolinguistic maps illustrating variations of n- and other related stems of verbs are added.
