Usage notes

 * In the Taraškievica orthography, is written as  when the following word starts with a palatalized or soft consonant, for example  compared to  in the standard orthography. This carries over to Łacinka as well, where  would be written as ź Jemena rather than z Jemena.
 * is used before certain awkward consonant clusters, for example rather than,  rather than , or  rather than . This parallels the Russian usage of , and the Ukrainian usages of  and.

Etymology 2
From, from.

Preposition

 * 1) from (from inside a place, e.g., a building or a geographical place: "I come from Ukraine", Я родом з України. Otherwise, від must be used since it indicates a movement "away from" a general point of departure: "I walk away from the table", Я відходжу від столу. Moreover, in the fixed expressions "to be far from" and "stay away from...!", від must be used: далеко від, тримайся подалі від...!)
 * 2) of, out of (as above, with the meaning of "from inside a place", e.g., "I get out of school", Я виходжу зі школи)
 * 3) in (in the fixed expression "specialist in", e.g., "I am a specialist in Medicine", Я спеціаліст з медицини)
