What is y in the ogham language?

In the Ogham language, there is no direct equivalent for the letter "y". However, depending on the word and its context, "y" can be represented by:

* "e" (é): This is the most common substitute, especially when "y" is used as a vowel.

* "i" (í): This is used when "y" acts as a consonant, particularly at the beginning of a word.

* "u" (ú): Less common, but can be used in specific words.

Example:

* "yellow" could be translated as "éilow" or "íelow" in Ogham.

It's important to remember that Ogham was a primarily alphabetic system, not a phonetic one. This means the letter representation may not always perfectly match the sound of the word in modern English.

If you have a specific word you're looking to translate, please provide it, and I can help you find the most accurate representation in Ogham.
