Questions

What are the correct spellings of the letter names? There are many inconsistencies in the resources I have. They different in spelling and in placement of stress. For example, Luke 1:34 has <kakw>, but D'jachenko has <kako>. One book has the stress in <mysljete> on the first syllable, another has the stress on the second syllable. Are these just mistakes in the books or have these changed over time?

Are the meanings of the letter names correct?
