Context
Researchers emphasize that the manuscript is a collection of diverse prayers of different origins: some of them are scribed to the pre-Cyrillo-Methodian Salzburg mission, and for others it's being claimed that they represent Eastern-rite missal fragments. We don't know much of its language: nasal vowels are well-preserved, there is no notation of palatalism in syllabic sonorants ''r'' and ''l'', strong yers are sometimes preserved, and sometimes vocalized (''ъ'' > ''o'', ''ь'' > ''e''), weak yers are sometimes omitted, Jagić's rule is confirmed etc.See also
