Er, from Alexandre Benois' 1904 alphabet book

Er (Р р; italics: Р р) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.

It commonly represents the alveolar trill /r/, like the "rolled" sound in the Scottish pronunciation of ⟨r⟩ in "curd".

History

[edit]

The Cyrillic letter Er was derived from the Greek letter Rho (Ρ ρ). It has no connection to the Latin letter P (P p), which evolved from the Greek letter Pi (Π π), despite both having the same form.

The name of Er in the Early Cyrillic alphabet was рьци (rĭci), meaning "speak".[1]

In the Cyrillic numeral system, er had a value of 100.

Form

[edit]

The Cyrillic letter Er (Р р) looks similar to the Greek letter Rho (Ρ ρ), and the same as the Latin letter P (P p; П in Cyrillic).
