Notes
* Diacritical signsAccents and aspiration marks are ignored in romanization. Marks ignored in romanization include the acute accent ( ́ ), the grave accent ( ̀ ), the aspiration mark ( ҆ ), or combinations thereof ( ῎ ) or ( ῍ ).The letters ї and ѷ are sometimes printed with two dots (or marks), as shown. In the first case, the two dots are used whenever no other accent appears, and thus they have no particular significance and are ignored in romanization. In the second case, the use of the two dots (or other diacritical marks) indicates that the letter is a vowel, and the letter is romanized ẏ, as provided for in the table.The symbol indicating a short i ( ˘ ) is taken into account in romanization, as indicated in the table, resulting in the romanization ĭ.
* AbbreviationsAbbreviated words are transcribed in full, without the use of brackets. The most common symbol for abbreviation is ҃. Sometimes, omitted letters are placed above other letters in the word in Church Slavic texts (e.g., ѿ, єⷣ, ѵⷢ), the letter added being sometimes given ​with a special symbol (e.g., гдⷭ҇ь). The symbol ̾ above a letter indicates the omission of ъ or ь.
* NumeralsNumerals are represented in Church Slavic by letters (as shown in the romanization table) with the addition of the signs ҂ ⃝ ҈ and ҉. The addition of an abbreviation sign ( ҃ ) indicates merely the representation of a basic numeral; thus в҃ represents 2.Higher numerals are shown as follows:҂в҃0,002,000в⃝0,020,000в҈0,200,000в҉2,000,000Thus, the figure 1913 is written ҂аці҃г.
* DatesWhile Church Slavic books are usually dated in the Christian Era, they are in some cases dated by the year of the Mundane Era of Constantinople. To convert to the western calendar, subtract 5508. However, prior to 1700 A.D., the mundane year in Russia began on September 1st, so that two years must be given, obtained by subtracting 5509 and 5508, respectively. Thus, 7203 in the Mundane Era is 1694/95 in the Christian Era. In such cases, if the month of publication is known, the year may be determined by subtracting 5509 for September through December, and 5508 for January through August.
