B.1.2 Symbols
B.2 Orthographical systems
B.2.1 Old Church Slavonic (table B.1)
The order of letters is by the transliterated form (col. 1) of the most commonly
accepted alphabetical order, based on the numerical value of the letters, as well as
the standard order in the modern Cyrillic alphabets (col. 1a). (The use of letters
for numbers followed the Ancient and Medieval Greek principle, and also the
Greek values up to omega, after which there is some uncertainty about the values of
certain letters (Col. 1b).) The Glagolitic forms are given in col. 2 (both older, round,
and later, Croatian ‘‘square’’ shapes), and col. 2a gives the numerical values, which
were allotted to all letters in distinction from the Cyrillic values. Col. 3 gives the
formal reflexes of the letters in the modern Cyrillic languages (as marked: no
comment means that all languages have this shape and value, a dash means none
have it).
B.2.2 Modern languages (tables B.2–B.12)
The order of letters is by the alphabetical order of each language. In non-Cyrillic
languages diacritic forms and digraphs which represent separate phonemes but are
not lexicographically distinguished are indented and marked as follows:
1. ¼ may be initial (thus have a capital form) and are ordered separately
within a lexicographic entry (this type is rare, since a capital normally
implies a separate letter section);
w phonemic/phonetic (after a consonant): labialized consonant, e.g. k
w
h phonemic/phonetic (after a consonant): aspirated consonant, e.g. k
h
j phonemic/phonetic (after a consonant): palatalized consonant, e.g. t
j
˜ phonemic/phonetic (after a consonant): velarized consonant, e.g. l
˜
