Usage notes
The pronunciation derbend was the most formal, derbent less formal, and dervent was used in colloquial speech and thence passed to most Balkan languages, according to Georgiev mostly through Greek δερβένι(dervéni) to account for the loss of the final -t in Bulgarian дерве́н(dervén), Macedonian дервен(derven), Serbo-Croatian дѐрвен.
