However, the Greek alphabet also gave rise to other alphabets, and some of these retained letters descended from digamma. In the <a href="/wiki/Etruscan_alphabet" title="Etruscan alphabet">Etruscan alphabet</a>, 'F' probably represented <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/w/</span>, as in Greek, and the <a href="/wiki/Etruscan_civilization" title="Etruscan civilization">Etruscans</a> formed the <a href="/wiki/Digraph_(orthography)" title="Digraph (orthography)">digraph</a> 'FH' to represent <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/f/</span>. (At the time these letters were borrowed, there was no Greek letter that represented /f/: the Greek letter <a href="/wiki/Phi" title="Phi">phi</a> 'Φ' then represented an aspirated <a href="/wiki/Voiceless_bilabial_plosive" title="Voiceless bilabial plosive">voiceless bilabial plosive</a> <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/p<sup>h</sup>/</span>, although in <a href="/wiki/Modern_Greek" title="Modern Greek">Modern Greek</a> it has come to represent <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/f/</span>.) When the Romans adopted the alphabet, they used 'V' (from Greek <i><a href="/wiki/Upsilon" title="Upsilon">upsilon</a></i>) not only for the vowel <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/u/</span>, but also for the corresponding semivowel <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/w/</span>, leaving 'F' available for <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/f/</span>.
