Magic E
From Teflpedia
Magic E is the letter E when used as the second letter in an English split vowel digraph. Magic E is a magic letter along with magic Y.
Magic E has the effect of changing the preceding vowel from a short vowel to a long vowel; “magic E makes the vowel say its name.” If the letter is C or G, it also softens it from a hard letter (hard C, hard G) to a soft letter (soft C, soft G), e.g. mac → mace, sag → sage. A notable exception to this rule is tiger (and liger) which retain the hard G sound.
It has its own song.[1]
