[change] Notes
- 1only befor o
- 2only after consonants; a capital letter does'nt exist; the soft sign ь is not a letter representing a sound, but modifies the sound of the preceding letter, indicating palatalisation ('softening').
- 3an apostrophe (’) is used to mark de-palatalization of the preceding consonant.
