Early Slavic short and long o and e

Abstract

The article discusses the development of the Proto-Slavic vowels *o and *e with a neoacute accent. These vowels are reflected as short vowels, diphthongs or long vowels in the modern Slavic languages. Their outcome is conditioned by the origin of the neoacute: if it arose through retraction of the accent from a word-final jer, the newly accented *o or *e became long and was subsequently diphthongized in a number of Slavic dialects. If the neoacute accent arose in a different way, the quantity of the newly accented *o or *e depends on the dialect.

Secondary abstract:	Članek obravnava razvoj praslovanskih novoakutiranih vokalov o in e, ki se v sodobnih slovanskih jezikih odražata kot kratka vokala, dvoglasnika ali dolga vokala. Njun odraz je pogojen z izvorom novega akuta – če je nastal z naglasnim umikom s končnega jera, sta se novonaglašena o oz. e podaljšala, kasneje pa v številnih slovanskih narečjih diftongizirala; če je novoakutirani glas nastal na drug način, je kvantiteta novonaglašenega o ali e odvisna od narečja.
