Yew, or Yev (minuscule: և; Armenian: ) is the 37th letter of the reformed Armenian alphabet. It is a ligature of the letters Yech (ե) and Hyun (ւ). Although Yew was used de facto before the orthography reform, it was not officially part of the alphabet.
Unlike the other letters in the Armenian alphabet, it has no numerical value.
Usage In both varieties of Armenian, it is pronounced as [ɛv], but word-initially, it represents the [jɛv] sound.
This ligature has no majuscule form. When capitalized, it is written as Եվ (reformed orthography) or Եւ (classical orthography).
