Usage notes
- Older writers likely used the form nȅbosklōn, as can be deduced from the rhymes and metre (see quotations). Dictionaries, beginning with Benešić (1949), only mention the form with shortened final syllable: nȅbosklon. HJP provides the accent nebòsklon which is an adaptation of the original Russian accent or theoretically derived from *nȅbo + *sъklònъ, but the form isn't found in poetry and such accentuation of Croatian compounds is in decline.
