WHAT DOES YER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Yer

Yer is one of two letters in Cyrillic alphabet, namely ъ and ь. In the Glagolitic alphabet the respective counterparts of these letters were and. They were originally ultra-short vowels in Slavic languages, collectively known as the yers. Bulgarian is the only modern language that preserves both yers as vowels, including ъ. In all other Slavic languages, the yers disappeared - often influencing the surrounding phones - or have evolved into different vowels. However, many languages using the Cyrillic alphabet have kept them to serve specific ortographic functions. The back yer of the Cyrillic script, also spelled jer or er, is known as the hard sign in the modern Russian and Rusyn alphabets and as er golyam in the Bulgarian alphabet. The letter is called back yer in the pre-reform Russian orthography, in Old Russian, and in Old Church Slavonic. Originally the yer denoted an ultra-short or reduced middle rounded vowel.
