noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 An ancient Slavic alphabet (an adaptation of Glagolitic and Cyrillic).
"In the Slavonic it occupies, as jest, the 6th place of the Bukvitsa as well as of the Cyrillic scheme, and has two softening forms as finals (-er, -eri) toward the close of the alphabet."
- 2 A pseudohistorical alphabet based on Cyrillic, created by Russian neopagan esoteric A. Yu. Khinevich, founder of Ynglism, but having no connection with historical Slavic writings.
"The hierarchy of the Russian Orthodox Church declared Slavic writings (Bukvitsa, Runes, etc.) to be black magic and demonic writings; the result of which was the loss by the Slavic people of the ability to learn the ancestral experience of their Ancestors."
