P, the 16th letter of the English alphabet, coming from the Latin as an
adaptation of the Greek letter pi, which in turn was derived ultimately
from an Egyptian hieroglyph.
The English initial p sound is technically called voiceless or mute and
is related to the voiced b. In cognate words, English p generally corresponds
to German pf and f, Latin b, and Greek b. The letter p is often silent in
English words of Greek derivation, particularly when it is part of initial
combinations. Examples include pneumonia, psychic, and ptarmigan. The
digraph ph, corresponding to the Greek phi, is pronounced f, as in pharmacy
and phonetic.
