This is my DEX. It does not shows the nasals, just the yers.
For instance for Romanain "prund"=gravel the etymology is
slavic "prondu". The form I wrote here is the one given in
dictionary. The traditional form, the "o" with a cedila under it, I
could find just in the linguistic works from my books, and there the
form is given as o with cedila under it, sounds which I learned to
give them here as /o~/ and /e~/.
I assume they renounced to this way to translate and they decided to
use the o+n and e+n for the place where there has been a nasal in
slavic since in every example I compared is showing an "on" or "en"
where in the special linguistic books
the transcription is the traditionaly one.
