Which orthographic innovation did Sebastijan Krelj introduce in his 1566 work Otrozhia biblia to improve Slovenian Protestant spelling?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Diacritical signs for vowels and palatals
- Step 1: Sebastijan Krelj introduced diacritical markings to distinguish closed and open vowels, and softened consonants, refining Trubar's initial spelling. Answer: Diacritical signs for vowels and palatals. Why not the others: Krelj never blended Cyrillic or Glagolitic into Protestant print, and he opposed the exclusive use of German Fraktur.
