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 η (eta) and ι (iota) were pronounced as /i/; it is possible that in the oldest texts Ⰻ rendered the i that alternated with tense ь.

Letter

Ⰻ i

  1. The eleventh letter of the Glagolitic alphabet.
