Letter 'E' differs little frae its derivational soorce, the Greek letter epsilon, 'Ε'. In etymology, the Semitic hê  haes been suggestit tae hae stairtit as a prayin or cryin human figure (hillul 'jubilation'), an wis probably based on a seemilar Egyptian hieroglyph that indicatit a different pronunciation. In Semitic, the letter representit /h/ (an /e/ in foreign wirds), in Greek hê acame epsilon wi the value /e/. Etruscans an Romans follaeed this uisage. Altho Middlin Inglis spellin uised 'e' tae represent lang an short /e/, the Great Vowel Shift chynged lang /eː/ (as in 'me' or 'bee') tae /iː/ while short /e/ (as in 'met' or 'bed') remains a mid vowel.
