Za (majuscule: ö; minuscule: æ; Armenian: æá) is the sixth letter of the Armenian alphabet. It represents the voiced alveolar sibilant /z/ in both Eastern and Western varieties of Armenian. Created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century, it has a numerical value of â¨6â©. Its shape in capital form is similar to the Arabic numeral 2 and two other Armenian letters, Dza â¨ÃÂâ© and Je â¨ÃÂâ©. Its shape in lowercase form is also similar to the minuscule form of the Latin Q â¨qâ©, the minuscule form of the Cyrillic letter àâ¨ÃÂâ©, and the minuscule form of another Armenian letter, Gim â¨ãâ©.
