Usage
South Slavic languages
Ye with macron is used some South Slavic languages, mainly in the Bulgarian language usually before or after another accented vowel so that the long syllables were skipped and the accent fell on the short vowel: дѐве̄р, грѐбе̄н, рѐпе̄й, and пѐпе̄л. It is also used in some Serbian texts in some words: дêве̄р.[2][3]
