E (upper case,lower casee)

1. The seventhletter of the Latvianalphabet, callede and written in theLatin script.

The letterE/e (like its long counterpartĒ/ē) represent two sounds,[ɛ] —šaurais e(“narrow e”) — and[æ] —platais e(“broad e”). In principle,[ɛ] is used when there is a palatal element (the vowelsi,ī,e,ē, the diphthongsie,ei, and the palatal consonantsj,ķ,ģ,ļ,ņ,š,ž,č,dž, and, in the old spelling,ŗ) either in the same or in the following syllable; otherwise,[æ] is used. Unfortunately, some historical changes have obscured this pattern by removing some previously existing palatal elements; as a result of that, for a number of words the actual pronunciation of the lettere —[ɛ] or[æ] — must be memorized.
