Short yat reflex. Words with a short yat reflex become transformed as either -je-, -e- or -i-, depending on length and position. The transformation of the short yat reflex in a word to -je- creates an iotified vowel. This forces the consonant that comes into contact with the iotified vowel to become either partially or completely palatalized.

Historically, the yat reflexes had been inscribed in Church Slavic texts before the significant development of Štokavian dialect, reflecting the beginnings of the formative period of the vernacular. In early documents it is predominantly Church Slavic of the Serbian or Croatian recension (variant).
