æ
ash
/ˈæʃ/
(used for the vowel /æ/, which disappeared from the language and then reformed)
*minuscule* –> æ
.
Æ is a character formed from the letters a and e, originally a ligature representing the Latin diphthong ae.
It has been promoted to the full status of a letter in some languages, including Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese.
It was also used in Old Swedish before being changed to ä.
Today, the International Phonetic Alphabet uses it to represent the “a” sound in the English word “cat”.
Variants include Ǣ ǣ Ǽ ǽ Æ̀ æ̀ Æ̂ æ̂ Ǣ ǣ Æ̃ æ̃.
(as a letter of the ‘old english latin alphabet’, it was called æsc (‘ash tree’) after the anglo-saxon futhorc rune ᚫ ( ) which it transliterated)
(its traditional name in english is still ash (/æʃ/). It is often just called aye ee (“A-E”)
