Digamma
(gcide) | Digamma \Di*gam"ma\, n. [Gr. ?; ? = ? twice + ga`mma the letter
[Gamma]. So called because it resembled two gammas placed one
above the other.] (Gr. Gram.)
A letter (?, ?) of the Greek alphabet, which early fell into
disuse.
[1913 Webster]
Note: This form identifies it with the Latin F, though in
sound it is said to have been nearer V. It was
pronounced, probably, much like the English W.
