Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed by K. Mīlenbahs, which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in German Fraktur, and sporadically in Cyrillic.

ī (upper case Ī)
Cognate with Hawaiian ʻīʻī (“rancid, sour, moldy”).
