It represents the phonetic value of the vowel sound /e/ or sometimes /ea/ in medieval Irish contexts, and its name derives from the word for "wolf" or "wych elm" in Old Irish. This letter is part of the Ogham series known as the forfeda, a group of supplementary characters added to the basic alphabet, and it is typically the last letter in the Ogham script. In modern usage, it appears in historical and linguistic studies, as well as in cultural and decorative contexts related to Celtic heritage.
