Addition. c. Change of power. d. Change of order. a. _Ejection._--In the first instance, the Italians ejected as unnecessary, letters 7,[44] 9, and 11: _zayn_ (_zæta_), _teth_ (_thæta_), and _kaf_ (_kappa_). Either the sounds which they expressed were wanting in their language; or else they were expressed by some other letter. The former was probably the case with 7 and 9, _zæta_ and _thæta_, the latter with 11, _kappa_. b. _Addition._--Out of the Greek _iôta_, two; out of the Greek _upsilon_, four modifications have been evolved; viz., i and j out of ι, and u, v, w, y, out of υ. c. _Change of power._--Letter 3, in Greek and Hebrew had the sound of the g in _gun_; in Latin that of k. The reason for this lies in the structure of the Etruscan language. In that tongue the _flat_ sounds were remarkably deficient; indeed, it is probable, that that of g was wanting. Its _sharp_ equivalent, however, the sound of k, was by no means wanting; and the Greek _gamma_ was used to denote it. This made the equivalent to k, the third letter of the alphabet, as early as the time of the Etruscans.
