Ogham Letter P - Peith



 Rinat Ben Efraim
Ogham Letter P - Peith

One of the forfeda, the "additional" letters of the Ogham alphabet.

Due to the "schematicism of later Ogamists", who insisted on treating the five primary forfeda as vowels, [p] had again to be expressed as a modification of [b], called peithe, after beithe, also called beithe bog "soft beithe" or, tautologically, peithbog (ᚚ Peith, Unicode allocation U+169A).
