Et (letter)

Et or Yt (majuscule: Ը: minuscule: ը; Armenian: ըթ) is the eighth letter of the Armenian alphabet created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century. It has a numerical value of 8. It represents the mid-central unrounded vowel (/ə/). Depending on the system of romanization, it may variously be romanized as ⟨ə⟩, ⟨ë⟩ or ⟨y⟩. This letter is only written in the beginning or at the end of a word, or in the rare case that it is the only unique vowel in the word (e.g. ֆստըխ, pronounced /fəsˈtəχ/). All other word-medial instances of /ə/ are unwritten and are not represented by the letter Et (e.g. փրկել, pronounced /pʰəɾˈkel/).
