Greek: digamma
Frequency: 16th most frequent letter in English (2)
"F" from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755): "A consonant generally reckoned by authors, and admitted by Scaliger, among the semi-vowels, and according to that opinion distinguished in the enumeration of the alphabet by a name beginning with a vowel, yet has so far the nature of a mute, that it is easily pronounced before a liquid in the same syllable."
