Palatalization mark
open-in-new
<p>The palatalization mark is one of the historic signs of <a href="/facts/Cyrillic_script/0btN3oWC">Cyrillic</a> that was used in <a href="/facts/Old_Church_Slavonic/KCEH4cFL">Old Church Slavonic</a> to indicate the <a href="/facts/Palatalization_(phonetics)/LXAIp4TB">palatalization</a> of the base consonant. An example of use is in the word избавитєл҄ь ('redeemer', palatalized л [lʲ]). It is not to be confused with the <a href="/facts/Inverted_breve/6TRUPneF">kamora</a>, which resembles it, but indicates <a href="/facts/Pitch_accent/aIQu5zse">pitch accent</a>. </p>
