Research Notes for 𐤏 (ā):

• It is a shortened form of āyan (āyn).
• The sixteenth letter in the Afroasiatic language known as Paleo-Hebrew (Ābarayat).
• The letter has been equated with the letter A, the letter E, the letter Gh, the letter I, and the letter O in the English language. Nonetheless, the elongated letter Ā and the letter I are the most likely association for the letter in English.
• It is possible that it could be written as an I but pronounced like the letter A based on historical connections to the Igbos, Ibri, and Iberians, which are all derived from a progenitive ancestor of Ibar or Ābar.
• Nonetheless, the letter Gh does have historical support when looking at languages that branched from Ābarayat.
• Also, the letters E and the letter O are mostly used in Modern Hebrew in English transliteration.
• The multiple letters associated with 𐤏 (āyan) have caused much confusion and serious implications.
