Gordon, The Letter Names of the Latin Alphabet (University of California Press, 1973; volume 9 of University of California Publications: Classical Studies), part III: “Summary of the Ancient Evidence”, page 32: "Clearly there is no question or doubt about the names of the vowels A, E, I, O, U. They are simply long A, long E, etc. (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū). Nor is there any uncertainty with respect to the six mutes B, C, D, G, P, T. Their names are bē, cē, dē, gē, pē, tē (each with a long E). Or about H, K, and Q: they are hā, kā, kū—each, again, with a long vowel sound."

Cognate with Old Frisian jī, Old Saxon gi, Dutch gij, Old High German ir (German ihr), Old Norse ér (Swedish I, later ni), Gothic 𐌾𐌿𐍃 (jus). The Indo-European root is also the source of Albanian ju, Proto-Baltic *ju- (Lithuanian jūs), Tocharian A yas, Tocharian B yes.

Conjugation
Conjugation of ge (weak)
Conjugation of giva (strong)
Conjugation of gifva (obsolete spelling, used before 1906)
Usage notes
- The older strong conjugation (giva, giver) is complete with present and past participles. The weak conjugation (ge, ger) does not provide acceptable forms for the past tense (*gedde) or participles (*geende, *gedd), but is now the preferred and dominating choice for other cases (ge, ger, gett).
