Ancient Greek? I can't remember "ph" nor "h" being in the old Greek alphabet, but F is there for certain.

No, of course you may agree on what's been said if you do agree, that's certain. However, don't you have any contributive thoughts of your own? After you spend the time with reading all that's been posted, don't you have anything else to add?

I think he's referring to the letter "Phi", which we transliterate as "ph" (making the "f" sound), though it may have been pronounced as "ph"(as opposed to "f") in ancient (classical) times.

Anyway, this is no time for philology...
