Etymology

From Middle English and Old English lower case letter e and split of æ, ea, eo, and œ, from five 7th century replacements of Anglo-Saxon Futhorcs by Latin letters:

  • Old English lower case letter e, from replacement by Latin letter e of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letter ᛖ (e).
  • Old English lower case letter æ from replacement by Latin ligature æ of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letter ᚫ (æ).
  • Old English lower case digraph ea, from replacement by Latin digraph ea of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letter ᛠ (ea).
  • Old English lower case digraph eo from replacement by Latin digraph eo of Anglo-Saxon Futhorc ᛇ (ēo).
  • Old English lower case letter œ from replacement by Latin ligature œ of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letter ᛟ (œ).

Etymology

Letter

E

e (lower case, upper case E)

  1. The seventh letter of the Latvian alphabet, called e and written in the Latin script.

Usage notes

The letter E/e (like its long counterpart Ē/ē) represent two sounds, [ɛ] — šaurais e (“narrow e”) — and [æ] — platais e (“broad e”). In principle, [ɛ] is used when there is a palatal element (the vowels i, ī, e, ē, the diphthongs ie, ei, and the palatal consonants j, ķ, ģ, ļ, ņ, š, ž, č, dž, and, in the old spelling, ŗ) either in the same or in the following syllable; otherwise, [æ] is used. Unfortunately, some historical changes have obscured this pattern by removing some previously existing palatal elements; as a result of that, for a number of words the actual pronunciation of the letter e — [ɛ] or [æ] — must be memorized.

  1. Used to link a possessed noun to its possessor.

Usage notes

This particle accompanies several tonal changes, as well as a simplification or elision of the coda of the possessed noun in some cases. Many nouns can be linked directly in possessive constructions without using this particle, chiefly those that denotes humans or animals when used in the singular, although it is impossible to predict exactly which nouns will follow which pattern based on semantics, ancestral noun class, or morphology.
