Usage notes

[edit]

The letterE/e(like its long counterpartĒ/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 vowelsi,ī,e,ē,the diphthongsie,ei,and the palatal consonantsj,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 lettere—[ɛ]or[æ]— must be memorized.

Mutation

[edit]
  • E cannot be mutated but, being a vowel, does takeh-prothesis,for example with the wordeliffant(“elephant”):
Welsh mutation
radical soft nasal h-prothesis
eliffant unchanged unchanged heliffant
Note:Some of these forms may be hypothetical. Not every possible mutated form of every word actually occurs.
