E, e
E e , fifth letter of the Gr. alphabet: as numeral eV = pevnte and pevmpto" , but Ëe = 5000. The ancients called this vowel ei\ (as they called o, ou\ ). When in the archonship of Euclides (B. C. 403) the Athenians adopted long e ( H h ) from the Samian alphabet, the Gramm. gave to short e the name of e] yilovn , i.e. e without the aspirate, because E had been used for the aspirate. In Ion. , e sometimes stood for a±, bevreqron e[rshn tevssere" for bavraqron a[rshn tevssare" , and in contr. Verbs in -avw , as oJrevw foitevwe]-e[, e]-e]-e]-e[
