I've heard of Slavic new full grade like *U>*y, but *U>*u is
something new for me. Did you mean PRE-Slavic processes? Again, what
do you mean by -s^j- in *dus^ja? -j- is superfluous, there were no
unpalatalized s^ in Proto-Slavic. Or maybe you treat *s^<*sj and
*s^<*x{e,i,Ir,e,} as s1 'more palatalized, thus designated as s^j'
and s2 as 'less palatalized, thus designated as s^'?
