Croatian Glagolitic Problem

[E Wayles Browne]

Just to add that you need that same jat’ letter (an equilateral triangle with a little “T” inside) in the first syllable too, not only in the second:
Prěběla.

If you're looking at old enough texts (before the Croatian dialects
began to diverge), they should have been written with yat' (Cyrillic Ѣѣ,
Unicode U+0462, U+0463). The corresponding Unicode positions for
Glagolitic are U+2C21, U+2C51, but I don't have a Glagolitic font
installed so I can't select and send those characters.

For the appearance of the characters, see the table here:
