E

The letter E.



The letter E is a vowel. It has a long and a short pronunciation. The long value is [i] as in "beet", "bēt" and is written as Ē (E with a macron). The short value is written as E and is [ɛ] as in "bet", "bet".



The schwa [ə] as in "center" does not belong solely to E and neither does [ɜ]. These are just assimilations and ... This still needs some work...



The name of E is its long value, [i], ē.
