examples of the yat umlaut in the literary language are:
*mlyàko (milk) [n.] -> mlekàr (milkman); mlèchen (milky), etc.
*syàdam (sit) [vb.] -> sedàlka (seat); sedàlishte (seat, e.g. of government or institution, butt), etc.
*svyat (holy) [adj.] -> svetètz (saint); svetìlishte (sanctuary), etc. (in this example, ya/e comes not from historical yat but from small yus (?), which normally becomes e in Bulgarian, but the word was influenced by Russian and the yat umlaut)
