### Tsarist-era alphabet

The archaic letters І, Ѣ, Ѳ, Ѵ were removed in 1917 when the communist Bolsheviks took over Russia.

Along with it was stopping the practice of adding ъ at the ends of final consonants, reflecting the open vowels in early Slavic languages. As a result, the modern spelling has been simplified to become closer to spoken Russian.

а, б, в, г, д, е, ё, ж, з, и, і, й, к, л, м, н, о, п, р, с, т, у, ф, х, ц, ч, ш, щ, ъ, ы, ь, ѣ, э, ю, я, ѳ, ѵ

Word - Cyrillic form <Tsarist spelling> - meanings

(B) - Bujanski derived word - meaning

(S) - Sevraejan word - meaning

A

* a - а - however, but

B

* bannik - банник <банникъ> - a bath spirit
* baza - база - a base, a foundation; (online slang, right-wing from 4chan "based") correct, right
	+ (B) boza, baza - treason. From "baza", one of the battlecries used by the Zavtranian rebels in their war against Zvesta's king. Now it becomes the word for "treason" or "disloyal".
	+ (B) bozatelǐ, bazatelǐ - traitor
	+ (B) bozatǐ, bazatǐ - to betray, to turn against
* bjelyj - белый <бѣлый> - white
	+ (B) bjalij - white
* bjerjosta - берёста - birch tree
	+ (S) berjoka - a birch tree
	+ (S) berjostetsa - "Birchform", the syllabic script for the Sevraejan language, named for being originally written on birch bark tablets.
* bjes - бес <бѣсъ> - demon
	+ (B) bæs - a demon
	+ (B) bæsjovij - demonic
* bog - бог <богъ> - a god, a deity
	+ (B) bog - a god
	+ (S) boro - a god
* bogatyr' - богатырь - a warrior hero, a sort of warrior in Slavic folklore.
* bojarin - боярин <бояринъ> - a boyar, a duke
	+ In Bujan, a "bojar" (duke) is the ruler of each province. There may be *two* bojars: a traditional bojar (descendant of Koschei the Red's knights) and an elected bojar (the next governor of the province), so the elected bojar is the only one of the two with actual authority over the local government.
	+ Thirty-three noble houses, from the "traditional bojars", were the descendants of Koschei's Wolf Guard, his paladins and circle of knights. Not all of them were Slavonians; some were Norse, some were Vozonid, some were Wonao aborigines, and some were Vilonians. The Norse knights were especially known for their skill in duelling.
	+ B: bojar
* bujan - буян <буянъ> - hooligan
	+ It also happened to be the name of a fictional kingdom in Russian folklore, Buyan, where it was part of the settings for Tsar Saltan and Koschei the Deathless. Later, it became the inspiration for the technologically-advanced Rodnover nation of Bujan, which shares the same name.
	+ It becomes a more meaningful name for three reasons:
		- Bujan, an island nation at the Western Hemisphere of Jerde, was founded by a rebellion;
		- Bujan's constant rejection of foreign rule, including attempts by pro-Russian militants to subjugate the kingdom as a province of a new Russian Empire;
		- and the irony of Bujanski youngsters being unruly behind their "formalistic" appearance, such as the *kolobnik* hooligans.
	+ (B) - Bujan

V

* v - в <въ> - in, to, at
	+ (B) - vi
* vjelikij - великий <великій> - great
* vjerja - веря <вѣря> - faith, belief
* vječe - вече <вѣче> - council
	+ The Royal Veche of Bujan is the assembly of dukes, who elect one of their members to become the next royal house of Bujan for 100 years. After that century, his descendant must perform a farewell ceremony at a temple, and then he and his family become commoners. The next royal election then commences.
	+ The Holy Veche of Bujan is the assembly of Arch-Volkhovs, or High Priests of the 33 main provinces. They form one of the highest bodies of the Rodnover state religion of Bujan.
	+ (B): væče - high council
* vlastǐ - власть - power
	+ In Darroskei languages, this word evolved into "king", as the words король or царь did not exist on Jerde.
	+ However, in Bujanski, the word is replaced with "varon", so "vlast" there refers to foreign or ancient monarchs. It was from a later form of a word, "vro", which became "voron".
	+ (B) - vlastǐ
* Vodokres - "water cross", Epiphany
	+ Bujanski celebrate Vodokres by bathing in rivers, offering water gathered from rivers and wells to the Gods, and eating noodles.
	+ (B) - Vodokres, "around the water"
* vodjanoj - водяной - watery; a spirit of the waters
	+ In Russia, vodjanoi are depicted as old men or frogs.
	+ In Bujan, vodjanoi are instead depicted as handsome men or even women, different from the more slender and feminine rusalka. They looked more like muscular merpeople.
* volkhv - волхв <волхвъ> - magician, sorcerer; Rodnover priest or high priest
	+ In Bujan, a "volkhov" is a head priest of any temple. Each of the twenty-four provinces of Bujan is governed by an arch-volkhov for religious matters, and all of them answer to the King and the Supreme Volkhov, the High Priest of the Kingdom of Bujan. This organisation was influenced by Sarmelonid religious rites.
	+ The volkhov priests may be compared to bishops and archbishops in Terran nations of the Christian religion, such as in England and Russia. The council of arch-volkhovs for the provinces is sometimes referred to as a "Rodnover synod", comparing Bujan to Russia for their similar culture in spite of religious differences between the two Slavic countries.
	+ None of the volkhovs in modern Bujan have any magical powers: in spite of the archaic meaning of the word, the Bujanski will never elect a magic-user to become a volkhov for their temples, fearing that they might accidentally open a Void storm and destroy the world.
	+ Like almost everyone else in Bujan, magic is avoided because it is seen as dangerous. Any people unfortunate enough to be born with magic are not killed, but pitied and protected by the Royal Government to avoid them being harmed by any hostile powers or monstrous entities from other dimensions.
	+ (B) - volkhov
* vosjem - восемь - eight
	+ (B) - vōsimi
* Vosjemljetnost' - Восемьлетность - Eight-Yearism, the national belief of the Tyrskan puppet-rulers of Bujan.
	+ Consisting of militarism, autocracy, and punitive arrogance.
* vostok - восток <востокъ> - east
* vsje - все <всѣ> - all
	+ (B) - vsje
* vy - вы - you all
	+ Perhaps evolved into go/ga in modern Bujanski: vy - ny - na - ga/go
* vyrus' - вырусь - out-Russian, a traitor
	+ This term is used mostly by Russian nationalists towards Russians who turn towards another culture instead of Russian nationalism.
	+ The Zavtranian army used this, along with "traitors", to curse the Zvestarids for refusing to bow down to their Terran overlords.

G

* gdje - где <гдѣ> - where
	+ The basis for Gdjestrana, a fictional country in Bujanski pop culture and worldbuilding fanfiction.
	+ (B) - gdje
* gorod - город <городъ> - city
* grad - град <градъ> - city
* grjekh - грех <грѣхъ> - a sin
	+ In Bujan, "graekh" instead means "a glitch", "a failure", or "technical error". This may reflect the influence of religion on driving Bujan's technological advancement, instead of restricting it using force and superstition.
	+ (B) - grækh - "failure, error, glitch"
	+ (B) - grækhnij - "technical error, stupid"

D

* da - да - yes
	+ (B) - da
* davai - давай - give it!, come on!
	+ A common cry to urge someone to go forward.
	+ Heard all over Jerde due to the influence of Zvesta, especially in jousting and sports matches.
* dobro požalovatǐ - добро пожаловать - welcome
* domovoi - домовой - house spirit
	+ Domovoi in Bujan are worshipped as guardians of the home. Most houses in Bujan, home to the Rodnover majority, have shrines to domovoi, and the domovoi statues in each shrine vary to reflect the aspects of the home's location and inhabitants. For example, the domovoi in Radumo's apartment lot holds a bowl of rice and a book; and Paxoti's house domovoi holds a fishing net.
	+ As domovoi can also be female (domovikha), when Bujanski build a new home or move to an empty home, a priest will flip a colourful stick to determine the gender of the domovoi idol to see if it will be male or female.
* dukh - дух <духъ> - spirit, soul
	+ (B) - dukh - a spirit, a soul; a "wight" (nature spirit), a fairy

Je
--

Jo

Zh
--

* žrets - жрец <жрецъ> - a pagan priest; in Rodnovery, usually a low-ranking priest
	+ In English, a Bujanski zhrets can be translated as "chaplain".
	+ (B) - žrets

Z

* za - за - over, behind, for
	+ In 2022, hashtags supporting the Invasion of Ukraine read "Zа Мир" (for peace) and "Zа Победу" (for victory), with the З replaced with a Latin Z in honour of the vehicles of the Russian invaders. Many Russian nationalists used the Latin letter Z as a symbol of war against Ukraine.
	+ (B) - za
* за мести - za mesti - for revenge
	+ The Zamestians were among the many human regiments of the Konjor Supercorporation. They were the fanatically obedient enforcers and executioners during the two Konjor conquests of Jerde.
	+ They were later known as Zolsroqil, the Keepers of Order.
* zavtra - завтра - tomorrow
	+ Also the name for a militant group that fought against the Kingdom of Zvesta, Zavtrana, who was notorious for attempting to overthrow the royal government to turn Bujan into a servile colony of the Empire of Greater Rus, later a self-proclaimed successor of "Russia".
* zvezda - звезда <звѣзда> - star
	+ The name of Bujan's predecessor and the realm where a system of standardised measurements was created. Zavtrana used a different Z as a symbol of rebellion against the King of Zvesta and a call to annex the island to Russian rule.
	+ (B) - zvesta
* zjelenyj - зеленый - green
* zjemlja - земля - earth, ground, the Earth, Terra

I

* i - и - and
	+ (B) - i, es (after i or j)
* iz - из <изъ> - from
* ili - или - or

K

* kapišče - капище - Slavic pagan shrine, Slavic temple
	+ (B) kapische - a smaller shrine, a shrine
* kolobok - колобок <колобокъ> - a legendary ball of dough that came to life
	+ In Bujan, this word is now the word for "soccer" or "football".
	+ (B) kolobnik - footballer, an obsessed sports hooligan
	+ (B) kolobok - soccer, football; a brawl
* kolovrat - коловрат <коловратъ> - hit brace, whirl, a symbol used by Slavic pagans for their religion resembling two swastikas or eight scythes
	+ While the kolovrat in real life was a pseudohistorical symbol adopted by modern Rodnovers as a symbol (even by those who oppose fascism and racism), in Bujan, kolovrats are seen at temples, on the spires of roofs and at banners around temples. In fact, it is also the official symbol of the state religion of Bujan, Rodnovery, which worships a standardised pantheon of gods.
	+ One reason why the kolovrat became worshipped in Bujan is because of its similarity to the korurai, a Wonao whirlpool symbol used to worship the Gods.
		- In fact, both of them have become interchangeable, although the korurai is more acceptable for public display due to religious laws restricting display of the kolovrat.
	+ In other Rodnover (polytheist) nations on Jerde, kolovrats are not even allowed to be displayed in public, due to a widespread superstition that warns that anyone with sin in their heart will anger Svarog by approaching his holy image. Devotees look away or cover their eyes as a mark of respect to Svarog and the gods, to avoid defiling kolovrats by the sin within themselves.
		- Likewise, Porasonids even wear gloves when handling anything with a kolovrat, as they consider themselves too impure before the Sun God; whereas their descendants in Bujan freely approach Svarog's temples without fear as they believed that their god loves them as his students and children.
	+ The devotion to the gods of Bujan have become so strong, that the Bujanski Rodnovers will never allow the kolovrat to be tattooed on human skin. They consider it a blasphemy against the sun god Svarog to leave his holy symbol on something that can be easily dirtied. It also led to fights between militarist Terrans, whose usage of kolovrat tattoos and violence against Bujanski citizens led to raids.
	+ (B) - kolovrat - holy symbol in Rodnovery
* koljada - коляда - carol
	+ (B) Koljeda - Yule, Christmas
* kosovorotka - косоворотка - peasant's robes
	+ Sometimes worn when people pray at Rodnover temples.
	+ In Bujan, this is almost always worn when people attend ceremonies to worship the Gods. It is locally known in Bujanski as "čisplatǐja" (чисты платья), "clean robes".
* krasnyj - красный - red
	+ In Russian, this word also means "beautiful"
	+ (B) krosenij - red
* krasnyj ugol - красный угол - "red corner", indoor memorial or shrine
	+ In Russia, this is a corner where devout Orthodox Christians pray to the saints.
	+ In Bujan, this is the proper term for religious shrines, especially Rodnover shrines. It is where the family or residents pray to the gods, ancestors, and other holy beings in daily ceremonies to honour them.
	+ (B) krasnij ugol, ugol - indoor shrine

L

* Ljedenets - Леденец <Леденецъ> - "Lollipop", "something sweet", a legendary city in the magical island of Buyan.
	+ Possibly a name for Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
	+ The basis for Lidongrad, the royal capital of Bujan.
* lješij - леший <лѣший> - a forest spirit or monster

	+ The name of the Terran battleship that invaded Rukthan to create an empire.
* morje - море - sea
	+ (B) - morje - sea
* morskoi - морской - marine, maritime
	+ Also the name of Tsar Morskoi, a character from Russian folklore who rules the sea as a sea god.
	+ In Bujan, Morskoi (known as Varon Morskoi, "King Sea") is worshipped as one of the major gods of its religion, because Bujan is an island surrounded by water, making the sea very important to its peoples' livelihood.
	+ (B) Morskoi - sea god
* my podchinjajemsja - мы подчиняемся - we obey
	+ Like "Vyoppei" ("we obey" in the "American" language), "мы подчиняемся" was uttered by Terran soldiers in Konjor militaries. It also evolved into a slur, "Mebzel", which depicts humans of all races as stupid, expendable killing machines.

N

* njebesa - небеса - heaven (poetic)
	+ (B) Njebes - Heaven, domain of the Gods
* njebo - небо - sky
	+ (B) - njebo
* njet - нет <нѣтъ> - no
	+ (B) - njem - no
	+ (B) - njes - not

	+ Deliberately uttered by some Terrans who defected to the Bujanski Revolution, and by opponents of the ATA to stop the July massacres.
	+ The choice of using a Russian-language slogan representing allowing Terrans to be integrated and forgiven as part of Bujanski society. It instead of Tyrskan represented "reality", as in "How is Bujan even a real nation if we ended up murdering each other like Terrans?"

	+ (B) - obæštǐ - usual
	+ (B) - Ōbišta - Common script, Cyrillic
* ol - ол <олъ> - (church) alcoholic beverage (not wine)
	+ In Bujan, "alkogol" is not used. Instead, "ol" is for all kinds of alcohol
	+ (B) - ol - alcohol, booze
	+ (B) - olnij - drunk
	+ (B) - olnja - a drunkard
* on - он <онъ> - he
* ostanovitǐ - остановить - to stop
	+ In many countries across Jerde, stop signs read "OSTĀ", a shortened form of the word.
	+ Later in the 1930s AT, all stop signs in Bujan were changed to the shortened word.
	+ (B) - ostānovitǐ - to stop
	+ (B) - OSTĀ - STOP
* ostrov - остров <островъ> - island
	+ (B) - ostrov - island

P

* pjeklo - пекло - inferno, great heat, Hell
	+ In Russian, the word for Hell is "Ad", from the Greek word "Hades". Because Bujan was not influenced by Greek culture, the word for Hell is "Pjeklo" or "Vjaroi" (from Vozonid "vjoromoz", "torment").
	+ In Bujanski art, "Pjeklo" doesn't literally mean that Hell is fiery, but that the pink skies look like enormous flames. Hell, in Bujanski art, is depicted as a colourful, screaming void inhabited by eldritch monsters and melting cannibals, similar to Vozonid mythology.
	+ (B) - Pjeklo
* pjetukh - петух <пѣтухъ> - rooster
	+ In Russian, this word is seen as "a victim tortured in prison".
	+ In Bujan, the word is a harmless mocking term that means "a stupid fool", as roosters and chickens are symbols of stupidity and folly. This view is from Vozonid culture.
	+ B: pætto - stupid, a fool
* pjervoj - первой - first
* pomogite - помогите - help
	+ The other name for the Terran wraith soldiers of Rukthan, named after their cries for help as their spirits are tormented to burn for ever.
* poslje - после <послѣ> - after
	+ (B) posillo - final, last, New Year's Eve
* pravǐ - правь - rule over
	+ (B) pravja - justice

R

* rad - рад <радъ> - happy, glad
	+ Radumo's name could be made of two Russian or Slavic words, рад and ум (rad, um), so her name can mean "the happy mind". It later becomes meaningful as she starts to enjoy learning about history and technology.
	+ (B) - radostǐ - happiness
* rana - рана - wound
	+ (B) - rauna - a crime, a sin
* rod - род <родъ> - people, tribe, race
* Rodina - Родина - the "Motherland"
	+ The Tyrskans used it to refer to their homeland in Earth 96, not their colony in Bujan. Hence this word being one of many words banned in modern Bujan.
* Rodnoverije - Родноверие <Родновѣріе> - Way of the People, the reconstructed native Slavic polytheistic religion
	+ Also the name of Bujan's polytheistic state religion.
	+ (B) - Rodnoverije
* Roissja, Vperde! - Роисся, Вперде! <no historical attestation available> - "Forward, Russia!"
	+ A sarcastic slogan mocking poor living conditions and ultranationalism in 2010's Russia.
	+ Derived from the words "роиться" (to swarm) and "в пердеть" (in fart), playing with a patriotic slogan, "Россия, вперёд!" (Rossija, vpjerjod!).
	+ It first appeared in 2008, from a belt buckle that was incorrectly printed.
	+ If one were to use Tsarist spelling for this ridiculous slogan, write it as "Роісся, Впердѣ!" It comes from archaic forms of Россія and пердѣть.
	+ In Bujan, "Roissja" had caught on as the official name for the country of Russia, but it is pronounced as "ROY-syah", not "rah-EE-syah". Angered Jerdiskar Russians would later name Bujan "Joban" and "Khujan" in return for insults against their country.
	+ On the other hand, the names of other Terran empires and civilisations were also distorted in Bujanski to curse their invasions. America is officially known as Maeranoi, also a name for an army of demons.
* Rossija - Россия <Россія> - Russia
* rubit' - рубить - to chop
	+ (B) - rōnzo - a great sin, an abomination

S

* samodiva - самодива - a forest spirit associated with fire
* severnyj - северный <сѣверный> - northern
	+ Sevraeja was named after this word.
	+ (S) - sevraenaeja - northern
* slava - слава - glory
	+ Used by Rodnovers as a sacred greeting, aside from a salute to their gods.
	+ (B) - slava (mostly religious)
* sojuz - союз <союзъ> - union
* strana - страна - land, country
	+ (B) - strana

T

* telega - телега <телѣга> - a horse cart, a shopping cart
	+ (B) - telka - car

U

* um - ум <умъ> - mind
* unichtozhaju vsje - уничтожаю все - (I) destroy everything
	+ A war cry used during the Terran Empire, one of the enemies that invaded Rukthan.
* urok - урок <урокъ> - a lesson
	+ B: usomro - a lesson

F

Kh
--

* khram - храм <храмъ> - a church; a temple
	+ In Slavic countries, a khram is either a church or a temple. Neopagans use it for sacred fields where people pray to the gods.
	+ In Bujan, a khram is usually defined as a large field around a statue of a god, functioning as a temple. Smaller khrams are known as kapische, usually outdoor shrines.
	+ B: khram - a temple, a sacred field in Rodnovery

Ts
--

* tsarǐ - царь - king, emperor
* tsvetok - цветок - flower

Ch
--

* čjervonnyj - червонный - red, scarlet (archaic)
	+ In Russian, this word is replaced by красный (krasnyj), which also means "beautiful".

	+ (B) - červonij, črevonij
* čjernyj - черный - black
	+ (B) - černij - black
* črevo - чрево <чрѣво> - intestines, womb (archaic)
	+ The namesake of an infamous Ontemazei woman who made dresses and cakes out of her victims' organs.
* čur - чуръ - boundary pole, idol
	+ In Russian, "chur" is a curse that means "shoo". In Bujan, it is *the* word for "idol", like the ones seen in temples and shrines everywhere in any religion. Larger idols and statues are known as "bolvan", including statues of the Buddha and bodhisattvas.
	+ The Russian words for "idol" are идол, кумир, божество (idol, kumir, bozhestvo).

* Ja nje chto inoje, kak to, chto budjet zabyto - Я не что иное, как то, что будет забыто - "I am nothing, but something that will be forgotten."
	+ Those were the magical words in the "unknown Terran language" that Boatiqva found during her hunt. She read them as "Ja njeshto inoje, kaq to, shto bodjet zabita."
	+ Novantirnas noticed that the strange Terran words were in the "latter spelling".

## More trivial lists

### Translated in-universe terms

These were recorded from Terran languages during the colonial era of Bujan. There was a linguistic conflict in Zavtrana on whether to keep Tyrskan or switch or "purify" the language to Russian.

* Tyrskij - Тырский - Tyrskan
* Vanneiskij - Ваннейский - Wannaenid
* Eosomje - Эосоме - Eosome, the other official language of Bujan
* Vonao - Вонао - Wonao, the native people of Bujan
* Koitaker - Койтакер (historical: Койдакер) Koedaker, the native language of Koscheigrad, the capital of Bujan.
	+ The older form is seen as more offensive because it sounded like "гойда", a war cry among the Tyrskans seen as a symbol of extermination.
* Rumai Korizm - Румай Коризм - Rumai Kor, native religion of the Wonao people of Bujan
* Ontjemazei - Онтемазей - Ontemazei, pink-haired aliens

* zmjeiljudi - змейлюди - Serpentians

### Anti-Bujanski terms

* Anakhronistrana, Anakhronistran - Анахронистрана, Анахронян - Anachronism Land
	+ Because the Bujanski's society looked very anachronistic for wearing Victorian clothing and using futuristic technology that was more advanced than Earth-27's machinery.
* Anglijskij - английский - Englishmen
	+ Mocking the Bujanski's clothing, which looked more similar to Victorian England.
* Vyrusi - Вырусь - Un-Russians
	+ Because the Bujanski refused to bow down to Zavtranian rule.
	+ Often used by Zavtranians against Zvesta for rejecting Terran or Russian rule.
* Joban - Ёбан - F\*\*\*ed-up Land
	+ An anagram of Bujan's name.
* Jobanskij - ёбанский - Fools
* Malobujan - Малобуян - Little Bujan, Little Punk
	+ Bujan, as an island nation, is much more smaller than Russia and the Darroskei Empire. The latter two see Bujan as wayward fools that must be forced to obey Russian culture.
	+ This name may parallel their usage of "Malorussia" (a historical term against Ukraine) and the Chinese term "Xiao Ri Ben" (Little Japan).
* Nari - "Naris"
	+ A common unisex name, also a slur used against loyalist Bujanski who reject Terran or Russian supremacism.
* Saltanskij - салтанский - Saltanians, obsessed with Tsar Saltan
	+ While they used to be friends with Russia from Earth-27, the Bujanski especially *loved* Tsar Saltan for resembling their traditional and national culture.
* Khujan - Хуян - Upstart Land
	+ A more common anagram of Bujan's name.
* khujanskij - хуянский - the stupid upstarts
* Jatistan - Ятистан - The land of the Letter Yat
	+ During the Zavtrana Rebellion and the Russian invasion, the people of Zvesta proudly displayed the Ѣ (yat) letter as a sign of independence, and to fight back against the rebels' usage of the Z letter.
	+ Ironically, some of the Terran troops who aided the Zavtranians also used Ѣ in their banners, but the Bujanski still fought against them simply for fighting on the side of the traitors. Ѣ was used as a symbol of monarchism and hypernationalism in Earth-27, especially for a faction of rebels that fought against the Zetrosian Emperor.
* jazyčniki - язычники - pagans, savages

## Differences between Russian and Bujanski

* B: Lack of Greco-Roman words, but with some Sarmelonid and Eosome.
	+ R: Many Greco-Roman and Turkic words
* B: /jo/ is always separate from /je/. - Јо/Ѻ is not Је
	+ R: /jo/ is a variant of /je/. - Ё is Е
* B: /æ/ is considered separate from /je/ and /e/ - Ѣ is not Е and Је
	+ R: /æ/ in archaic Slavic is now /je/, so /æ/ should be transcribed as /e/, Э.
* B: ъ is only used after:
	+ Difficult or impossible consonant clusters
	+ One-consonant words (which rarely exist in Bujanski as they get ъ added)
	+ R: ъ is used to separate vowels from palatalisation. In older times, ъ always follows every final or single consonant
		- Example: в храм (Russian), въ храм (Bujanski) - "to the temple" (vi khramjot)
* B: usage of archaic letters
	+ Ѵ (izhitsa) instead of Ы (yer) - y
	+ Ѣ (jat) instead of Е (je) - ae
	+ Ѻ (broad on) instead of Ё (jo) - jo, only for "I" or "me"
* B: Ы (y, spelled as Ѵ) is always pronounced as [ɯ] or [yː] as a long vowel
	+ Spelled as И as a plural at the ends of words.
		- R: И is i, Ы is y in all positions.
	+ Spelled as Ъ in archaic words, one-consonant words, and between difficult consonant clusters.
		- R: Ъ only exists to stop palatalisation. In archaic times, it always follows a final consonant.
* B: all y-/j- vowels are preceded by Ј. Only Ѻ can exist as a joint j-vowel (jo), but only for the word "jo" (I). All other "jo" syllables are always written as "јо".
* B: Different letters:
	+ І; not И (i)
	+ Ј; not Й (j), Е (je), Ё (jo), Ю (ju), Я (ja),
	+ Ѵ, not Ы (y). But -И as the plural -y.

### Translation

*The Bujanski word for "tiger" is not "тигр" (tigr, Russian) nor is it "rūvdo" (Darroskei). It is "rægjom" [ˈrægjɔm], a word borrowed from the indigenous Eosome civilisation that coexists with Bujan's kingdom. In Eosome, a classical language used by the native people of Bujan as a unified language, the word is also "rægjom" [ˈlɛi̯kʰjɔu̯m], and it also means "a god" or "a king".*

*The tiger, a sacred animal in Eosomean culture, has become a symbol of the king and therefore the Eosomean people. Later, the Wonao peoples of Bujan made the animal the symbol of the Kingdom of Bujan, representing rejection of foreign rule and independence.*

*Here is the word spelled by letter: r-æ-g-j-o-m.*

## Trivia
