Waw/Vav is the sixth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician wāw , Aramaic waw ,Hebrew waw/vav ו, Syriac waw ܘ and Arabic wāw و.
It represents the consonant in classical Hebrew, and in modern Hebrew, as well as the vowels and. In text with niqqud, a dot is added to the left or on top of the letter to indicate, respectively, the two vowel pronunciations.
It is the origin of Greek Ϝ and Υ , Cyrillic У, Latin F and U and later Y, and the derived Latin- or Roman-alphabet letters V, and W.
