Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Formed as *ǫzъ (“bond, junction”) + *-je. In several daughter languages, the descendants demonstrate prosthetic *v- or *j-.
Modern South Slavic descendants descendants decline as *-ę, but this is likely due to later reanalysis (compare the South Slavic descendants of Proto-Slavic *moře).
