These lost Cyrillic letters are... INTERESTING

Writing a few Cyrillic letters which are not in use anymore. Some of them only appeared once in history, but they're just too funky not to be included in this video :)

multilocular O was only used one time in recorded history, in a 15th century old church Slavic phrase "серафими многоꙮ҄читїи҄ " meaning "many-eyed seraphim"
I believe the invention and inclusion of the multilocular O was used to put emphasis on the fact that the seraphim mentioned had many eyes, or perhaps that the seraphim was so powerful that it altered the scripture as the writer was writing it to perhaps prove it's power? Strange, and a funny little snippet of Slavic history

As a slavic person myself I was like
"OH! We have tha-... What the fuck?" every time

The Cyrillic alphabet is just so fascinating.
Just all of these crazy letters that were created by different people of languages to make their language fit into this alphabet, it's something not even the Latin script got.

2:58 Big yus looks like some sort of semi-anthropomorphic monster that hasn't got legs so he uses his arms to crawl

And nearly all of these look like an absolute pain to write by hand, no wonder they were abandoned

No mom, I'm drawing the ancient Cyrillic double monocular o on this stick figure. Geez.

[Rhythm]

Fun fact: Most of the weird letters are not used in Russian, they are used in Church Slavonic.

I think a lot of these are ligatures that got mistaken for or turned into "letters" at some point.

2:35 Didn't know KSI had his on letter in the cyrillic alphabet.

[andrejbogdanov]

In a Russian doctor's cursive handwriting these letters would still all look the same.

I think I understand why Ot isn’t in the cryllic alphabet anymore....

[magniloquenting.wlspoetjt]

It'd be fabulous if some languages still used these letters. They're just so beautiful and artsy
