Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/-jь

Etymology 1
Continues and partially the marginal elative Caland suffix. In some cases, e.g. 🇨🇬, the jo-stem may have spread from the comparative *-jьš-.

Over time, some yo-stem adjectives were fossilized into nouns and some kinetic i-stems were leveled out into jo-stems, giving rise to Slavic jo-stem nouns. Another source of jo-stem nouns is from Illič-Svityč's law, which transformed neutral ap B nouns (including jo-stems) into masculine.

Cognate with 🇨🇬, -is (genitive -io), 🇨🇬/ , 🇨🇬.
