Twe (Ꚍ ꚍ; italics: Ꚍ ꚍ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its glyph is derived from a lowercase Greek Tau.[1]
Twe was used in old Abkhaz and in old Ossetian.
Usage
In Abkhaz, it represents the labialized voiceless alveolar plosive ⓘ, like the pronunciation of ⟨tw⟩ in “twin”.[citation needed] It corresponds to the digraph Тә in Cyrillic.
