Note that the origin ofthe ph is derived from the Greek language. As in enough, the gh that sounds like an f occurs in in 7 wordse noughtoughroughcoughlaughsloughtroughsou ghThe fllowing39words are examples of a countless number of long words that contain a ph.

6 The following21words are exceptions because they are relatively long, yetspelled with an f, not with a ph. Either memorize these words or know that the stem fer isLatin, not Greek and we do not use a ph in Latin words. In addition, the f in these words maybe followed by a consonant as in fluency, while the ph is normally followed by a vowel exceptin the three wordsphrase, schizophrenia, and Euphrates.
