The letter Y.
There is such a concept as the X Hour.
But here, a certain Y Hour is being discussed.
Another noteworthy fact:
No word in the Russian language begins with the letter Y. It can occur only at the end or in the middle of a word.
Just like two other letters of the Russian alphabet: Ъ and Ь, the hard and soft signs.
By the way, Y resembles them as well.
There is such a concept as “Y-ing.”
That is, quite literally, there are people who Y.
In other words, this makes them special in that sense.
Konstantin Batyushkov, one of the most melodious Russian poets, complained that the sound “y” deforms the Russian language:
Come, tragedy, act. Of the vowels produced in the throat,
choose “y,” invented by a Mongol.
Make it a noun, make it a verb,
an adverb and an interjection. “Y” is a shared inhalation and exhalation!
There is an opinion that this is an Asian sound.
The sound Y is a guttural sound. Essentially, it is part of throat singing. Yes, that very kind.
It is noteworthy that this is a letter capable of being INVISIBLE.
For example, in the word ЖИТЬ.
It is not there, yet it is there!
