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

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

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