Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the designation of the Udmurt ӧ [e̮] in monuments of the Udmurt alphabet of the 18th to the first half of the 19th century. In ­dictionaries and lists of words based on the Latin alphabet, researchers have adapted single letters ö, y, ü, e and various letter combinations for its representation. In the monuments written in Cyrillic, the ö phoneme is also denoted by individual letters and letter combinations. The choice of the letter or letter combination is fundamentally independent of the dialectal affiliation of one or another ­written monument.
