In Semitic, the letter represented /h/ (and /e/ in foreign words) in Greek, hê became the letter epsilon, used to represent /e/. This in turn comes from the Semitic letter hê, which has been suggested to have started as a praying or calling human figure ( hillul 'jubilation'), and was most likely based on a similar Egyptian hieroglyph that indicated a different pronunciation. The Latin letter 'E' differs little from its source, the Greek letter epsilon, 'Ε'. It is the most commonly used letter in many languages, including Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Latin, Latvian, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish. Its name in English is e (pronounced / ˈ iː/) plural ees, Es or E's. E, or e, is the fifth letter and the second vowel letter in the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide.
