Et or Yt (majuscule: <span lang="hy" dir="ltr">ø</span>: minuscule: <span lang="hy" dir="ltr">è</span>; Armenian: <span lang="hy" dir="ltr">èé</span>) 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 (/ÃÂ/), like the a in ago. This letter is similar to the Armenian letter except that it has a horizontal line jutting to the right from the bottom.
This letter can only appear in the beginning and at the end of a word. Any instances of the /ÃÂ/ vowel in the middle of a word remain unwritten and are not represented by the letter Et (for example, the word <span lang="hy" dir="ltr"></span> is pronounced , but /ÃÂ/ is not represented in the orthography).
