The most controversial aspect of this analysis is the absense of  /ah/ for *alpha. 

Y=eepsilon, A=ulfa, e=epsilon, h=eetah, 

A key to understanding the vowels in IPA and in most Romance languages is recognizing that the the sound of A in these notational systems is the sound English speakers usually associate with O (as in *ox) and the sound of I is the one English speakers usually associated with the sound of E (as in *he) or EE (as in *see).

The early greek alphabet was also used for numbers. 
Digamma remained as 5 long after it ceased to be part of the writen alphabet.

Heta, the 8th letter, was used for eight. 
This early letter derived from Phonecian [cHeth] became the vowel eta (E).

• A is the PMF ax - it looks like an ax.
• < gamma in Byzantium. [>], the PMF gamma is reversed and related to [<] the PMF [k]

(most gammas are flipped Ls)
• D delta with sharp corners in Euboea = PMF
• F digamma in most cities - note the downward slant of the top bar. Except for the cross-bar, this character is similar to the PMF [fork]
• N form used for M, rotated form used for N (looks like a horizontally flipped h)

• Y-form upsilon corresponds to PMF yard and /ih-yuh/
• Rho - note the tail on the R - where did this come from? Not found in any Semitic form
• Pi looks like a vertically flipped L - same as gamma but with a hook
