Question about Japanese
What does 「いふ」 mean?
What does 「いふ」 mean?
What does いふ mean in the sentence 「「…」といふ声がします」? I think the sentence means " "..." a voice sounds", but I haven't been able to find out what いふ means. Apparently it's from an old text, so it might be archaic, but I would still like to know what it means.
Thank you!
Thank you!

いふ is the same as いう（言う）. We call it 歴史的仮名遣い（れきしてきかなづかい）.
