Reconstruction talk:Proto-Slavic/astrębъ

Why was this particular noun left with initial *j- ? --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 02:08, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Is it not a prothetic consonant? 02:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, but since it was decided not to write them them why was it left here? --Ivan Štambuk (talk)
 * Um... I see an initial *a- on this word. Am I missing something? 12:03, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I think the question was why the reconstruction is not given as *jastrębъ, given that all descendant forms, save for one variant form in Ukrainian, start in j- (ja- or, in Czech, presumably due to the Czech "umlaut", je-/jě-). --Florian Blaschke (talk) 16:26, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
