A list of puns related to "Cetinje Octoechos"
Dear Christians, and same brothers and sisters in Christ:
Blessing of the Lord be upon you in the new year
Before I start, I realize that this is mostly linguistic, but as it is connected to Orthodoxy, I figured that some people here might be proficient in the matter. If this sub is not the right place for these kinds of post, I sincerely apologize, mods feel free to delete this post!
On to the matter at hand:
I am currently researching some old liturgical books. They are written in Old Chruch Slavonic, and as such are also written in the older variant of the slavic script. I am under no impression that I am an expert in the language itself, however I can (and do) write and read both Old Cyrillic alphabet and Glagolithic. As such I am familiar with the finesse of older sounds which are no longer present in many Slavic languages. Yet I have come across 2 letters in an old liturgical book, called "Cetinje Octoechos of the First Tone". It's a prayer book. In it, on the page of note, there is inscribed a symbol of the local dynasty which ordered this book. Above the symbol is an image of 3 cyrillic letters. I have recreated the letters and their order:

They are arranged as you see, in this manner. I am very certain that this has has something to do with the Trinity. Letter 1, I have identified as ะ, that being B. And I can only assume it stands for ะะพะณ (God)
Letter 3 and 2 gave me pause. Letter 3 is most alike the letter ะฎ, that being Yu. However the shape of it is more alike ะ, that being G. and I am certain that this is not just a stylistic choice, the shape like this requires a very deliberate action of the pen. Letter 2 is even more puzzling, it again has the likeness of ะ (G), yet it also has a shape like i or N. What are your thoughts?
Many thanks in advance!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!
Theyโre on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
You take away their little brooms

So that I could frequently say, "I am going to walk 5 miles now."

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
But nobody ever mentions his sister, Onya, who invented the starter pistol.
There hasn't been a post all year!
