Usage notes
edit- Norwegian ⟨æ⟩ is usually found before ⟨r⟩, where it represents /æ(ː)/ and is generally distinguished from /e(ː)/, itself represented by ⟨e⟩. Exceptions are a number of function words (like er, her) which have /æː/, but are nevertheless spelt with ⟨e⟩ for simplicity.
- Before other consonants, ⟨æ⟩ occurs but rarely, mostly when there is a related word with ⟨å⟩, e.g. væpne, væske (from våpen, våt). In such words there is usually no phonetic distinction from ⟨e⟩, thus [ˈveːpnə], [ˈvɛskə] (the latter merging with veske). In certain dialects, /æ(ː)/ may be retained even in these cases or some of them.
- The letter æ in the Norwegian runic inscriptions from 17-19 centuries is usually written as ⤉.[1] [2]
