That's "simple titlo", not "letter titlo".

A quick search revealed this page (in Russian):

    <http://shdr.child.ru/univi/me/trad/ortho/kniga/kniga15.htm#4>

In particular see inline image at:

    <http://shdr.child.ru/univi/me/trad/ortho/kniga/pic/knig1620.jpg>

for "The Lord". The graphic is low quality, but titlo over DE has a
tiny letter ES under it.

Do we have CYRILLIC COMBINING SMALL LETTER ES ABOVE or CYRILLIC
COMBINING SLOVO TITLO (precomposed)?

SY, Uwe
