ꬵ U+AB35, ꬵ LATIN SMALL LETTER LENIS F ← ꬴ [U+AB34] Latin Extended-E ꬶ → [U+AB36]

Lenis and fortis f in italic typeface

Translingual

Design

Unlike regular (fortis) f, in italic typeface, lenis ꬵ does not acquire a tail.

Symbol

ꬵ

1. (Teuthonista) The lenis analogue of ⟨f⟩ (IPA [v̥]).

Usage notes

Not all sources use this symbol; some restrict themselves to diacritics on ⟨v⟩ and ⟨f ⟩. For those who do use it, the series may be ⟨v ꬵ φ f ⟩ (IPA [v v̥ f̬ f]).

A similar distinction is made between tailless ꭍ and normal ſ.
