Bukvitsa

Vague definition that isn't immediately supported by Google. The Russian etymon also doesn't seem to have anything like it on its entry. —suzukaze (t・c) 02:53, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

This page may or may not explain the definition: https://www.reddit.com/r/russian/comments/5crorq/russian_old_alphabet_bukvitsa_is_a_spokenwritten/ Khemehekis (talk) 04:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

I have cited this. It looks to me like it is an ancient Slavic alphabet (an adaptation of Glagolitic and Cyrillic), and, by extension, texts written in that alphabet. Kiwima (talk) 19:41, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

See bukvica for a much more comprehensibly phrased definition. Basically it refers to the Old Cyrillic and Glagolitic alphabets, with their associated letter names and order and numerical values (which were all originally one-to-one equivalent in the two alphabets). Some uses of the word, however, refer more specifically to Bosnian Cyrillic; the second quote given at the entry is apparently using it in this way. As a further complication, the use of the word in English works by Russian authors seems to have recently gained some strange Neo-pagan meaning, so it may also need another definition to reflect that usage if anyone can figure out what is meant by it. (The last quote at the entry is using it in this way; I think it might refer to the alleged proto-Cyrillic script used in the Book of Veles.) — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 01:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
