Summary/Abstract: Standard Croatian ha s accepted the jekavian speech of Dubrovnik, but some points have continued presenting problems. One such is the writing of replacement of the Early Croatian yat in a long syllable, for a long time there was no unity over what the replacement stood for: the sound group ije or the diphthong ie. As a result, their graphic representation was either an e (the so-called "horned e''), an ie or ije. The general agreement today favors the diphthong ie, so the author advocates the spelling "ie".
