HistoryEgyptian hieroglyph wj Phoenician Q Etruscan Q Greek QoppaThe Semitic sound value of Qôp (perhaps originally qaw, "cord of wool", and possibly based on an Egyptian hieroglyph) was /q/ (voiceless uvular plosive), a sound common to Semitic languages, but not found in English or most Indo-European ones. In Greek, this sign as Qoppa Ϙ probably came to represent several labialized velar plosives, among them /kʷ/ and /kʷʰ/. As a result of later sound shifts, these sounds in Greek changed to /p/ and /pʰ/ respectively. Therefore, Qoppa was transformed into two letters: Qoppa, which stood for a number only, and Phi Φ which stood for the aspirated sound /pʰ/ that came to be pronounced /f/ in Modern Greek. In the earliest Latin inscriptions, the letters C, K and Q were all used to represent the sounds /k/ and /g/ (which were not differentiated in writing). Of these, Q was used to represent /k/ or /g/ before a rounded vowel (e.g. "EQO" = ego), K before /a/, and C elsewhere. Later, the use of C (and its variant G) replaced most usages of K and Q: Q survived only to represent /k/ when immediately followed by a /w/ sound. The Etruscans used Q only in conjunction with V to represent /kʷ/. From Wikipedia under the

If you have a Mac you will have to find the software called The Missing Sync. I believe is the website. If you have a PC then install the ActiveSync software that came on a CD in the box with your phone.

Q. What if they find out and give me a cheat notice because I have started using a different Q&A website? Asked by Party McFarty - Sat Sep 13 08:19:26 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. They will do worse than a cheat notice. The very first time you clicked Y!A you were injected with a homing device. They will send you to room 101 for an "adjustment", then re-release back into our fold.
