Modern Persian equivalents: ی، د، ج، گ
Notes: In the body of a word it retains its form <span class='pahlavi'>f</span> before <span class='pahlavi'>n, i, b, k</span> as <span class='pahlavi'>y, I!, __B!, q</span> and <span class='pahlavi'>H!</span>; in all other cases it lapses into <span class='pahlavi'>i</span>.
Examples:
1. <span class='pahlavi'>f</span> (ê or î): used as an izâfat اضافت to show relation between two words, as possessor and the person or a thing possessed, in which case <span class='pahlavi'>f</span> shows the genitive case.
2. <span class='pahlavi'>rFnp_f_rTXË</span> (mâtar-î-pûsar): mother of the boy; مادرِ پسر.
3. Using izâfat is optional, and when it is dropped, it is necessary that the qualifying adjective or the thing possessed must precede the thing possessed or qualified; e.g. <span class='pahlavi'>rTXË_rFnp</span> (pûsar mâtar), and it is the rule that a <span class='pahlavi'>Q</span> (zak) or <span class='pahlavi'>fQ</span> (zak-î) is added before the two words, so: <span class='pahlavi'>rTXË_rFnp_fQ</span> (pûsar mâtar)
4. It is also used as a rendering of Avesta relative pronouns <span class='pahlavi'>OvjE</span>, <span class='pahlavi'>WvjE</span>, <span class='pahlavi'>TavjE</span>, who, which and what.
5. Used as the numeral "one" when it follows a substantive, e.g. <span class='pahlavi'>f_aB!</span> (gabrâ-ê) a man; <span class='pahlavi'>f_TlË</span> (mart-ê) a man; مردی.
