Question

Русскому звуку [’э] (на письме «Е») в древнерусском языке соответствовали две буквы – Е и Ѣ. Например: рус. ВЕРА – др.-рус. ВѢРА, рус. ВЕСЛО – др.-рус. ВЕСЛО, рус. ТЕНЬ – др.-рус. ТѢНЬ, рус. ЖЕНА – др.-рус. ЖЕНА, рус. РЕКА – др.-рус. РѢКА, рус. ЕЛЬ – др.-рус. ЕЛЬ. Укажите слово(-а), которое(-ые) написано(-ы) по-древнерусски с ошибками: а) дева б) вѣсна в) плеть г) мѣра д) лѣто

Answer 1

Відповідь:

а) дева б) вѣсна в) плеть

Пояснення:

ѣ в украинском языке преобразовалось в і:

ВѢРА → ВІРА

ТѢНЬ → ТІНЬ

РѢКА → РІКА

Исходя из этого, должно быть:

діва←  дѣва

пліть← плѣть

міра← мѣра

літо← лѣто

весна← весна

Answer 2

Russian Sound ['э'] in Old Russian Language

In the Old Russian language, the sound ['э'] (pronounced as "eh") was represented by two letters: 'Е' and 'Ѣ'. For example, the word "вера" (faith) was written as "вѣра," "весло" (oar) was written as "вѣсло," "тень" (shadow) was written as "тѣнь," "жена" (wife) was written as "жена," "река" (river) was written as "рѣка," and "ель" (fir tree) was written as "ѣль" [[1]].

Now, let's identify the word(s) that are written with errors in Old Russian:

a) дева - This word is written correctly in Old Russian. The letter 'Е' corresponds to the sound ['э'] in this case.

b) вѣсна - This word is written correctly in Old Russian. The letter 'Ѣ' corresponds to the sound ['э'] in this case.

c) плеть - This word is written correctly in Old Russian. The letter 'Е' corresponds to the sound ['э'] in this case.

d) мѣра - This word is written correctly in Old Russian. The letter 'Ѣ' corresponds to the sound ['э'] in this case.

e) лѣто - This word is written correctly in Old Russian. The letter 'Ѣ' corresponds to the sound ['э'] in this case.

Therefore, all the words provided are written correctly in Old Russian and do not contain any errors.

I hope this clarifies the usage of the letters 'Е' and 'Ѣ' to represent the sound ['э'] in the Old Russian language. Let me know if you have any further questions!
