Et or Yt (majuscule: Ը: minuscule: ը; Armenian: ըթ) is the eighth letter of the Armenian alphabet created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century. It has a numerical value of 8.[1] It represents the mid-central unrounded vowel (/ə/), like the a in ago. This letter is similar to the Armenian letter Րր 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 /ə/ vowel in the middle of a word remain unwritten and are not represented by the letter Et (for example, the word փրկել is pronounced /pʰəɾˈkel/, but /ə/ is not represented in the orthography).
