Usage
editYe with grave represents astressedvariant of theCyrillic letter Ye(Е е), but it is a Ye with acute accent in Russian to indicate stress.
It is used mainly inMacedonianto prevent ambiguity in certain cases: "Иневовединѐво искушение, но избавинѐод лукавиот"="And donotleadusinto temptation, but deliverusfrom evil",or"Сèшто ќе напишете може дасеупотреби против вас!"="Allthat you'll write can be used (literally: it can useitself) against you ", etc.
It can also be found in accentedBulgarian,SerbianorChurch Slavonictexts as well as in older (19th-century or earlier) Russian books. Recently,Russianstressed vowels are typically marked with theacute accentinstead of thegrave accent,and the role of grave accent is limited to the secondary stress mark in certain dictionaries (acute accent shows the main stress):псѐвдосфе́ра(pseudosphere).[1][2]
