E fifth letter of the alphabet . It is a usual symbol for a mid-front vowel, such as ĕ in the English step. A mid-front vowel was represented by Greek epsilon [Gr.,= e without the aspirate], to which E corresponds in form and place (see also H ). English ē is pronounced as a diphthong of Ĭ and y. In musical notation E represents a note in the scale.
