Summary/Abstract: The admittance of existence of closed e has been the subject of discussion because of the non-usage of particular signs for each sound in the alphabets that Turks have used. While the specific signs and dual usages of some words that are coincidenced in some texts have been admitted as a proof for the existence of closed e, on the other hand not usage of an absolute sign for this main sound has been admitted as a proof for the absence of closed e. The existence of this vowel in Old Anatolian Turkish is also criticized. Thus, to observe the positions of closed e that take place in the Azerbaijan Turkish, would be a useful method to generate crucial knowledge about the existence or non-existence of it in Old Anatolian Turkish.
