エ (romajie, alternative romaji [Old and Early Classical Japanese only]ye)
The katakana syllable エ(e). Its equivalent in hiragana is え(e). It is the četvrti syllable in the gojūon order; its position is ア行エ段(a-gyō e-dan, “row a, section e”).
Za razliku od hiragana sistem, koji se koristi za reči japanskog jezika kanji ne pokriva, katakana rečnik se prvenstveno koristi transcription reči stranih jezika na japanski i pisanje loan words (collectively gairaigo), kao i da predstavlja onomatopoeias, tehničke i naučne pojmove, kao i imena biljaka, životinja i minerala. Nazivi japanskih kompanija, kao i određene rečenice japanskog jezika, ponekad se pišu katakana, a ne drugim sistemom. [unos]
Historically represented the ye syllable, when 𛀀 was used in its place for what is currently represented by エ. In katakana representations of Old and Early Classical Japanese (when e and ye were phonemically distinct, prior to their merger in the mid-Heian period), ye is instead represented by 𛄡 (a Meiji period invention), to avoid confusion with the modern use of エ to represent e.
