The Little "e" That Links Words
Persian links a word to the word that describes it with a short "e". It is usually not written at all, so read it in: کِتابِ مَن is "my book".
After ا or و, the "e" becomes "ye" and is written with ی. After a final ه, it is written ی too, behind a half space. Books often put a small ء on the ه instead: خانهٔ.
