Usage notes

  • ея̈ (jejǫ́) is one of the few Russian terms in pre-1918 orthography in which a stressed я (ja) is pronounced like the letter ё (jo). It is therefore written with a diaeresis in a similar fashion: я̈ (). Note that in pre-reform spelling, it was orthographically distinct from её (jejó, accusative of the personal pronoun), though the two were pronounced the same. Following the reform, the two spellings were merged as её (jejó).
