![]() The seventeenth-century usage of ⟨ ѫ⟩ and ⟨ ѧ⟩ (see next note) survives in contemporary Church Slavonic, and the sounds (but not the letters) in Polish. Thereafter it was restricted to being a dominical letter in the Paschal tables. The uniotated ⟨ ѫ⟩ continued to be used, etymologically, until the sixteenth century. The iotated yuses, ⟨ ѭ⟩ and ⟨ ѩ⟩, had largely vanished by the twelfth century. According to linguistic reconstruction, both become irrelevant for East Slavic phonology at the beginning of the historical period, but were introduced along with the rest of the Cyrillic script.
