Hwair

Image:Hwair.jpg Hwair (ƕair) is the name of Image:Gothic hw.png, the Gothic letter expressing the wh-sound, transliterated with the h+v ligature (lowercase ƕ, uppercase Ƕ). The name is recorded by Alcuin in Codex Vindobonensis 795 as uuaer. There was no Elder Futhark rune for the phoneme, so that other than for most Gothic letters, the name does not continue the name of a rune.

Hwair represents IPA Template:IPA or Template:IPA, the Germanic pronunciation of the Indo-European labiovelar *Template:PIE after it underwent Grimm's law. The same phoneme in Old English and Old High German is conventially spelled hw, without the ligature.

The Gothic letter is assigned Unicode U+10348 𐍈, the Latin h+v ligature U+0195 (lowercase) and U+01F6 (uppercase).
