The umlaut diacritic ¨ used above a vowel letter in German and other languages to indicate a fronted or front vowel (this sign originated as a superscript e).ⱸ : E with notch is used in the Swedish Dialect Alphabet.Related characters Descendants and related characters in the Latin alphabet Ernest Vincent Wright's Gadsby (1939) is considered a "dreadful" novel, and supposedly "at least part of Wright's narrative issues were caused by language limitations imposed by the lack of E." Both Georges Perec's novel A Void ( La Disparition) (1969) and its English translation by Gilbert Adair omit 'e' and are considered better works. This makes it a hard and popular letter to use when writing lipograms.
#E BLUE SILENZ MOUSE PROBLEM CODE#
In the story " The Gold-Bug" by Edgar Allan Poe, a character figures out a random character code by remembering that the most used letter in English is E. 'E' is the most common (or highest- frequency) letter in the English language alphabet (starting off the typographer's phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU) and several other European languages, which has implications in both cryptography and data compression. The International Phonetic Alphabet uses ⟨ e⟩ for the close-mid front unrounded vowel or the mid front unrounded vowel. Digraphs with ⟨e⟩ are common to indicate either diphthongs or monophthongs, such as ⟨ea⟩ or ⟨ee⟩ for /iː/ or /eɪ/ in English, ⟨ei⟩ for /aɪ/ in German, and ⟨eu⟩ for /ø/ in French or /ɔɪ/ in German. Less commonly, as in French, German, or Saanich, ⟨e⟩ represents a mid-central vowel /ə/. In the orthography of many languages it represents either, ,, or some variation (such as a nasalized version) of these sounds, often with diacritics (as: ⟨e ê é è ë ē ĕ ě ẽ ė ẹ ę ẻ⟩) to indicate contrasts. In other cases, the letter is silent, generally at the end of words like queue. Pronunciation of the name of the letter ⟨e⟩ in European languages EnglishĪlthough Middle English spelling used ⟨e⟩ to represent long and short / e/, the Great Vowel Shift changed long /eː/ (as in 'me' or 'bee') to /iː/ while short / ɛ/ (as in 'met' or 'bed') remained a mid vowel. The various forms of the Old Italic script and the Latin alphabet followed this usage. In Semitic, the letter represented /h/ (and /e/ in foreign words) in Greek, hê became the letter epsilon, used to represent /e/. This in turn comes from the Semitic letter hê, which has been suggested to have started as a praying or calling human figure ( hillul 'jubilation'), and was most likely based on a similar Egyptian hieroglyph that indicated a different pronunciation. The Latin letter 'E' differs little from its source, the Greek letter epsilon, 'Ε'. 4.3 Derived signs, symbols and abbreviations.4.2 Ancestors and siblings in other alphabets.4.1 Descendants and related characters in the Latin alphabet.
