Ot (Cyrillic)
Template:Short description Template:Infobox grapheme
Ot (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />Ѿ <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѿ; italics: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />Ѿ <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѿ) is a letter of the early Cyrillic alphabet. Though it originated as a ligature of the letters Omega (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />Ѡ <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѡ) and Te (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />Т <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />т), it functions as a discrete letter of the alphabet, placed between <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />х and <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ц.[1] This can be seen in the first printed Cyrillic abecedarium (illustrated), and continues in modern usage.[2]
Ot is used in Church Slavonic to represent the preposition Script error: No such module "Lang". 'from' and prefix Script error: No such module "Lang".. It does not stand for this sequence of letters in any other context, nor can the sequence Script error: No such module "Lang". be substituted for it where it does occur. It is used with a similar purpose in mediaeval manuscripts of other Slavonic languages written with the Cyrillic alphabet. In printed books <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѿ is often used in preference to <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />(ѡ҃) for the numeral 800.

- ↑ Note that Ivan Fedorov’s alphabet does not include <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѡ (though it does include <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѽ). This is because it does include <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѻ, which was considered orthographically equivalent; one may compare the alphabet from Spiridon Sobol’s abecedarium of 1631, which has <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѡ where Ivan Fedorov has <templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />ѻ.
