I with bowl
Latin yeru or with bowl is an additional letter of the Latin alphabet based on the Cyrillic soft sign. It was introduced in 1928 into the reformed Yañalif, and later into other alphabets for Soviet minority languages. The letter was designed specifically to represent the non-front close vowel sounds and. Thus, this letter corresponds to the letter in modern Turkic alphabets, and the letter yery in Cyrillic.
Usage
The letter was originally included in the Yañalif, and later also in the alphabets of the Kurdish, Abaza, Sami, Ingrian, Kalmyk, Komi, Tsakhur, Azerbaijani, Bashkir and Suret languages, as well as in the draft reform of the Udmurt alphabet. During the project of the Latinization of the Russian language, this letter corresponded to the Cyrillic letter. In Kalmyk, however, it represented palatalisation of the preceding consonant, thus corresponding to the Cyrillic homoglyph. In Suret (Assyrian), this letter represented the mid central vowel, like in the word ьsra.In languages and alphabets that used this letter, the lowercase form of B was a small capital so that there would be no confusion between and.
