Japanese

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

From cursive man'yลgana ๆฑŸ. Became obsolete for representing ye in the mid-Heian period when ye merged with e in spoken Japanese; later resurrected by linguists in the late Edo period or Meiji period for representation of Old and Early Classical Japanese.

Syllable

[edit]

๐›€ โ€ข (ye or e

  1. (obsolete) The hentaigana syllable ye or e.
    ็‡ƒ(ใ‚‚)๐›€ใ‚‹ โ€• moeru โ€• to burn, etymologically from classical ็‡ƒ(ใ‚‚)ใ‚† (moyu)
  2. (obsolete) The hiragana syllable ๐›€ (ye). Its equivalent in katakana is ใ‚จ (ye) or ๐›„ก (๐›„ก) (ye).
Usage notes
[edit]
  • ๐›€ and ๐›€€ are used to represent the Japanese language before the mid-10th century, in which /e/ and /je/ were different phonemes.
/e/ /je/
hiragana ใˆ ๐›€
katakana ๐›€€ ใ‚จ [or ๐›„ก]
In modern Japanese, old /e/ and /je/ both evolved into /e/, and are both written as ใˆ in hiragana and ใ‚จ in katakana. Later reintroduction of the sound /je/ is written as ใ„ใ‡ in hiragana and ใ‚คใ‚ง in katakana. Retrospective discussion of /je/ in Old and Early Classical Japanese (prior to the mid-Heian period merger with /e/) uses ๐›€ in hiragana and ๐›„ก in katakana (the latter invented for this purpose during the Meiji period to prevent confusion with the modern use of ใ‚จ to represent /e/ rather than its ancient sound value of /je/).
  • ๐›€ was used historically as a hentaigana character, as an alternative form of ใˆ (e).

Etymology 2

[edit]

Particle

[edit]

๐›€ โ€ข (ye

  1. (obsolete) Identical in meaning to the particle ใธ, but used only after pronunciations of ใˆ, ๐›€, and ใ‚‘. (Can we verify(+) this sense?)
