Komi Nje Explained

Komi Nje should not be confused with Hwair.

Komi Nje (Ԋ ԋ; italics:

Ԋ ԋ) is a letter of the Molodtsov alphabet, a variant of Cyrillic.^[1] It was used only in the writing of the Komi language in the 1920s.^[2]

Its form is similar to the Latin letter Hwair (Ƕ ƕ), but the lowercase form is a small version of the capital letter. Komi Nje represents the palatal nasal pronounced as //ɲ//, somewhat like the pronunciation of (ni) in "onion". It corresponds to the Cyrillic letter Nje (Њ њ), and to the Latin digraph NJ (NJ Nj nj) used in the Croatian and Serbian languages.
