Inherited from Varhúsnorsk je, further etymology unknown, but several proposals exist, the most likely are:

A natural sound that was originally used for calling someone's attention.
A derivation of Old Norse ja, through an unrecorded usage as an interjection. Though this is slightly more doubtful, as its ability to appear before i seems to suggest it had an *ʀ- originally.

In modern Jugsnorsk, it has been considered as a vocative case affix, and due to its nature, this is largely accurate.

(before a vowel) [j]

(before a consonant) [i]

(unless s-, f-, or h-) [ç]

j'

the primary vocative particle, sometimes called the vocative case affix
j'hests ([ˈçetʰ])
O good steed

je always contracts when used, regardless register.
