• югъ (jug) — Pre-reform orthography (1918)

Traditionally explained as borrowing from Old Church Slavonic югъ (jugŭ) Proto-Slavic *jugъ, compare Old East Slavic угъ (ugŭ). However, self-innovation is also possible, compare the prosthetic /й/ in loanwords or in words that had no iotation in Church Slavonic: dialectal ю́дега (júdega) 'hoarfrost' from Finnish huude, use of a preposition у (u) like /ю/ in some northern Russian dialects, and dialectal юрод (jurod) in the presence of the Church Slavonic Ѫродъ (Ǫrodŭ).^[1]
