ⰻ

Etymology
Source unknown, probably combination of Christian symbols circle and triangle. The inclusion in Glagolitic of the letters Ⰺ, Ⰹ and Ⰻ with the same phonetic value was probably intended to imitate Byzantine Greek orthography where both and  were pronounced as /i/; it is possible that in the oldest texts Ⰻ rendered the  that alternated with tense.

Letter
i


 * 1) The eleventh letter of the Glagolitic alphabet.
