Compare German Flöte f, Polish flet m, and especially Yiddish פֿלייט f (fleyt) for the -ей- (-jej-) component, representing what would evolve into long ö in Middle High German, as seen also in East Central German, Hunsrik, and Luxembourgish Fleet.

      Игра́л на фле́йте сам заве́дующий совхо́зом Алекса́ндр Семё́нович Рокк, и игра́л, ну́жно отда́ть ему́ справедли́вость, превосхо́дно.
      Igrál na fléjte sam zavédujuščij sovxózom Aleksándr Semjónovič Rokk, i igrál, núžno otdátʹ jemú spravedlívostʹ, prevosxódno.
      The flute was being played by none other than the manager of the state farm himself, Alexander Semyonovich Feight, who, to do him justice, was playing it beautifully.
