ƕ

a letter used to transliterate the Gothic letter 𐍈, probably representing /ʍ/.


𐍈

Uncertain. According to Snædal (2015; see references), most likely an adapted Ancient Greek Θ (Th, “theta”), though links to Ψ (Ps, “psi”) have also been made.

The twenty-fifth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /ʍ/, with a numerical value of 700. It is transliterated into the Latin alphabet as ƕ.


𐌰

Derived from the Ancient Greek Α (A, “alpha”), influenced by Latin A in uncial script.

The first letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /a/, with a numerical value of 1.


𐌱

From Ancient Greek Β (B) (beta) and/or Latin B.

The second letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /b/, with a numerical value of 2.


𐌲

The third letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /ɡ/, with a numerical value of 3.


𐌳

The fourth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /d/, with a numerical value of 4.


𐌴

From Ancient Greek Ε (E, “epsilon”), uncial variant.

The fifth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /e/, with a numerical value of 5.


𐌵

Probably from Ancient Greek Ϝ (W) (digamma) in a late form such as , ; or from Ϙ (Q) (koppa), given its similarity to a truncated 𐍁 (90).

The sixth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /kʷ/, with a numerical value of 6.


𐌶

The seventh letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /z/, with a numerical value of 7.


𐌷

The eighth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /h/, with a numerical value of 8.


𐌸

Uncertain; has been related to Ancient Greek Θ (Th, “theta”), Ψ (Ps, “psi”) and Φ (Ph, “phi”). Magnus Snædal (2015; see references) considers the derivation from phi most likely.

The ninth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /θ/, with a numerical value of 9.


𐌹

The tenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /i/, with a numerical value of 10.


𐌺

The eleventh letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /k/, with a numerical value of 20.


𐌻

Derived from the Ancient Greek λ (l, “lambda”).

The twelfth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /l/, with a numerical value of 30.


𐌾

Uncertain. Has been linked to Runic ᛃ (/j/), uncial Latin G, and even to a cursive Ancient Greek Ξ (X /ks/). Snædal favours the Latin origin. Latin ⟨g⟩ was indeed used for /j/ in various medieval languages. The Gothic letter may have been invented after Wulfila.

The fifteenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /j/, with a numerical value of 60.


𐌽

The fourteenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /n/, with a numerical value of 50.


𐌼

The thirteenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /m/, with a numerical value of 40.


𐌿

Uncertain. Possibly from Runic ᚢ, though Snædal (2015; see references) considers this unlikely, interpreting it as being derived from an allograph of Ancient Greek Ο (O, “omikron”); compare also the numerical values.

The sixteenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /u/, with a numerical value of 70.


𐍀

The seventeenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /p/, with a numerical value of 80.


𐍁

The eighteenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, with a numerical value of 90 and no phonetic value.


𐍂

From Ancient Greek Ρ (R, “rho”), influenced by Latin R.

The nineteenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /r/, with a numerical value of 100.


𐍃

From Latin S. Appears to have been a later Ostrogothic form influenced by Latin scriptoria, partially replacing the earlier "sigmoid" Gothic S (which however was still somewhat rarely used even in Ostrogothic manuscripts, concurrently with the Latin-type S). This sigmoid S resembled and is thought to have derived from Ancient Greek Σ (S). (Some have considered the earlier sigmoid S to be derived from the ᛊ rune instead.)

The twentieth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /s/, with a numerical value of 200.


𐍄

The twenty-first letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /t/, with a numerical value of 300.


𐍅

The twenty-second letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /w/, with a numerical value of 400.


𐍆

From Ancient Greek Ϝ (W, “digamma”) or Latin F, or at the very least influenced by the latter. A connection has been made to Runic ᚠ (“fehu”), but this remains controversial.

The twenty-third letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /f/, with a numerical value of 500.


𐍇

The twenty-fourth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /kʰ/, with a numerical value of 600. Used in the transliteration of Greek words.


𐍉

Uncertain. Has been linked to both Ancient Greek Ο (O, “omikron”) and Ω (Ō, “omega”), as well as Runic ᛟ (/o/ or /ō/). Snædal (2015; see references) favours the first derivation, interpreting it as being (like the letter 𐌿 (u, “urus”)) an adapted allograph of Greek omikron.

The twenty-sixth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /o/, with a numerical value of 800.


𐍊

According to Snædal (2015; see references), from Ancient Greek ϡ (s, “sampi”), which shares the same numerical value and had a very similar shape in antiquity (see its Wikipedia article for more information on its past forms).

The twenty-seventh letter of the Gothic alphabet, with a numerical value of 900 and no phonetic value.
