Inherited from Proto-Slavic *bogъ.

PronunciationEdit

  • IPA(key): [box] (phonetic respelling: бох)
  • (file)
  • IPA(key): [bok] (rare, proscribed)
  • In the nominative singular, the word is usually pronounced /box/ due to Church Slavonic influence. The regular pronunciation /bok/ is used only rarely (mostly for pagan deities) and is not recommended. In all other case forms, the regular /ɡ/ is now more common, though /ɣ/ was formerly used.
