... Well, to get rid of "c" is my personal choice ;) after debates with Jussi and Pavel, it was one step to create a north slavonic. I am not good at...

Is there really a sound law in Slavic which changes short *o/a and *u (hard jer) to short _I_ (soft jer) and _e_ after *j? And would it apply to final *-jo? ...
