Descendants
Note that modern Russian and Belarusian do not reflect Havlík's law in oblique forms, having normalized [жьньцъ] to [жьнецъ].
The Belarusian dictionary of Bajkoŭ and Nekraševič (1925), however, contains the now archaic plural of жнец (žnjec) — жанцы́ (žancý)
- Old Ruthenian: жнецъ (žnecʹ) (genitive женца (ženca))
- Russian: жнец (žnec) (genitive жнеца́ (žnecá))
