Preposition

*sъ(n)

  1. (with instrumental) with, accompanying, alongside
  2. (with instrumental) with, by means of, using

Usage notes

Because of the law of open syllables, the final -n was normally dropped. But when combined with a stem that (originally?) began with a vowel, it was attached to the following word. Cf. Polish jego, but z niego, Russian ею (jeju), but с (s) нею (neju) etc.
