Waw
Waw is the sixth letter of the Northwest Semitic family of scripts, including Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Arabic. In Arabic and thus in most Semitic languages it represents the sound, though in some, such as Modern Hebrew, and the Indo-European Persian language, it represents instead. In some also the long vowel. Vav literally means hook/peg/spear.
