• IPA^(key): [ɛv], (word-initially or separately) IPA^(key): [jɛv]

• Audio (word-initially or separately)

  (file)

From ե + ւ. The typographical variant և (ew) is a ligature of these two symbols.

եւ

1. The 37th letter of Armenian alphabet according to Reformed Orthography. Represents [ɛv] (but [jɛv] word-initially and separately). Transliterated as ew.

• This letter was created in the result of the spelling reform of the Armenian language of 1922–1924. The Traditional Armenian orthography continues to treat եւ as a simple digraph of ե (e) + ւ (w) and not as a separate letter.
• When used in sentence case, the capital form of the letter is Եվ. However, in all caps text it is ԵՎ.
