ASH, also æsc, aesc. The scholarly name for the
LIGATURE (upper case
Æ, lower case
æ or
æ) of
a and
e, used in Old English orthography for a sound related to but distinct from the sound represented by each
LETTER separately. The form
æ is used in IPA for a not quite open, front unrounded vowel, higher than Cardinal 4 and lower than Cardinal 3, as in many pronunciations of
cat /kæt/. This was probably the sound represented by the Old English symbol. See
ALPHABET,
RUNE.
