E caudata
The e caudata ("tailed e", from (ラテン語:cauda) "tail") is a modified form of the letter ''E'' that can be graphically represented as ''E'' with ogonek (ę) but has a distinct history of usage. It was used in Latin from as early as the ninth century to represent the vowel also written ''ae'' or ''æ''.
In Middle and Early Modern Irish manuscripts, and in unnormalised (transcriptions ) of them, e caudata is used for ''e'', ''ae'' and ''ea''.
In Old Norse manuscripts, e caudata was used for both short and long versions of /æ/. In a few texts on Old Norse, it, like German ä, represents short /æ/, the result of i-mutation of Proto-Germanic
*/a/, and contrasts with ''e'', which represents Proto-Germanic
*/e/. However, because these two vowels eventually merged to /e/ in the written varieties of Old Norse, they are commonly both written as ''e''.
