F, sixth letter and fourth consonant in the English, Latin, and early Greek
alphabets. Its Greek name was digamma, from its resemblance to two superimposed
capital gammas, the Greek letter for G. Its forms were F, f, F, or �, and its
pronunciation
resembled the sound of the English w. Eventually, in Latin, the sound of w was
assigned to the letter v, while the Latin f came to represent the sound it has
in English, as in the word fit. F is pronounced in this manner in all English
words except of and its compounds and variants.
