    Actually, upsilon would be a more appropriate replacement since when you transliterate, at least from Attic Greek, the upsilon often becomes a y.
    This, lamda has nothing to do with y at all. In fact, you know what? Screw upsilon! Let's bring back the waw!

    λ is awesome and you know it. I wanna change y to
    λ for the shape.

    Also you do not want the waw letter family in your alphabet. In hebrew it is the etter Vav. ו
    Vav has three sounds. a hard V, a hard oo, and a soft oh, with nothing more then the location of a dot to distinguish between them. And Hebrew doesn't show the dots while being written. =/ Hebrew likes to have multiple sounds distinguished by those dots, then not show them in writing.

    In the English language, consonant.

    No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."
    Props go to the one and only, Proxy, for the signature.
