Old Bulgarian izU

Dear Cybalisters:

I know there are some very knowledgeable Slavicists on the list, and I would like to ask a question which I do not intend to discuss but to which I merely would be interested in having an informed opinion.

In Old Bulgarian, we have e and e:.

Were these vowels preceded by a y-glide in Old Bulgarian as the modern Russian equivalent e is (=[ye])?

Is it possible that in izU, 'out of', an earlier Slavic form might have been [yezU]?

Thanks for your help.

Pat
