If this sound is elsewhere in the word, letterŮ is used instead.
Ú/ú is the 28th letter ofDobrujan Tatar alphabet, represents the hight rounded half-advanced ATR or soft vowel /ʉ/ as in "sút" [s̶ʉt̶] 'milk'. In the vicinity of semivowel y, which occurs rarely, its articulation shifts to high rounded ATR or soft /y/, close to Turkish pronunciation, as in "súymek" [s̶ym̶ec] 'to love'.
