Fe, or Feh (majuscule Ֆ; minuscule ֆ; Armenian: ֆե; Classical Armenian: ֆէ; IPA: [fɛ]) is the 39th^[1] letter of the reformed Armenian alphabet and the 38th letter of the Classical Armenian alphabet. It does not have a numerical value meaning, as it was not among the original Mashtotsian letters.^[2]

Usage

Fe is used to represent the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/.

Contrary to the first 36 letters of the Armenian alphabet, Fe and O were added to the original alphabet in the 11th century.

In the ISO 9985 standard, the letter is transliterated as "f".^[3]
