If you open the proposal [0] it kinda just looks like someone doodled some flowers on the text rather than actually used a particular letter. And given it's the ONLY existing record of this letter, it's very suspect isn't it?

- Gare 4y agoIt's in place of "goo" in "mnogoočimi" (many-eyed) in the phrase "many-eyed seraphims", so it at least makes sense.
- sterlind 4y agomy Old Church Slavonic is pretty rusty (well, nonexistent), but "mnogo" looks like modern Russian много (many), and the -imi I guess would be instrumental plural like -ими? but Russian for "eye" is глаз or око. I'm guessing oč -> око, and it's a compound word? or is the č an infix, something like "ogo" is eye, and mnogoočimi is such because the two -og-s (one from mnog and the other from go) fuse because "mnogoögočimi" would be awkward to pronounce?
- generationP 4y agoPretty sure it is mnogo-oči-tii. The word "oči" still means "eyes" (although mostly in poetry).
