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

Q. A friend of mine injured her ear by using q-tips so I am hesitant to use them anymore. I don't have hearing loss, but my ears are always very itchy, especially after a hot shower. I just assumed it was because there was too much wax in them. Asked by EvilFairies - Mon Feb 18 10:42:33 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Murine makes a great product that is available at any drug store. It contains a solution that you put in your ear and let sit for about 3 mins. After that, you use the enclosed bulb to rinse it out. Works great! Answered by Mark S - Mon Feb 18 10:47:23 2008 Where can I buy build-in BB-Q grill and coal tray that is made to measure? Q.
