=Nom

The root vowel is long in Balto-Slavic (Lith. su:n-, OCS syn-).

Lithuanian ' (acute), ` (grave) and ~ (circumflex) are accents, -N
denotes nasalization.

The OCS "yers", /I/ and /U/, are ultra-short vowels, not to be
confused with /i/ and /u/ (which was written in Greek fashion as
<ou>). /y/ (written <Ui>) is a high central vowel intermediate
between /i/ and /u/: it usually continues PIE *u: (but in Acc.pl. syny
< *su:no:ns also nasalized *o:+s).
