Etymology
edit
Uncertain. Has been linked to Runic แ (/โ jโ /), uncial Latin G, and even to a cursive Ancient Greek ฮ (X /โ ksโ /). Snรฆdal favours the Latin origin.[1] Latin โจgโฉ was indeed used for /j/ in various medieval languages. The Gothic letter may have been invented after Wulfila.
๐พ โข (j)
- The fifteenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /j/, with a numerical value of 60.
