I was referring to something else: namely to cases
where *Eastern* Slavs (esp. Russians) seem (at least
to me) to prefer such additional vowels, whereas South
and Western Slavs don't need them.
I'd have been grateful for an explanation of this
occurrence. (And thank you for reiterating your
information in a nutshell. I appreciate your not
losing patience with a subscriber to this list who
might indeed miss one post or another, esp. in days
such as these betw. Dec 24 and Jan 6. ;-)).
a happy new year,
