LetterEdit

ւ

ւ lowercase (uppercase Ւ)

1. The 34th letter of Armenian alphabet, called ւիւն ‎(wiwn), վիւն ‎(viwn) or հիւն ‎(hiwn). Transliterated as w.
   Represents:

   voiced labiodental fricative: [v] in Eastern Armenian

   voiced labiodental fricative: [v] in Western Armenian

2. The numeral 7000 in Armenian numbering.

Usage notesEdit

After the Spelling reform of the Armenian language during Soviet era (1922-1924) this letter has been replaced by վ ‎(v), surviving only as a component of letters ու ‎(u) and եւ ‎(ew). However, the reform was not accepted by the Armenian diaspora outside the USSR which continues using ւ according to Traditional Armenian orthography.
