That makes some sense. wau becomes digamma in greek.

Digamma? What do you mean?

They (Greek) dropped the Wau (F) later. But it is still noticable in some situations

Yes, but it's still recognised as a letter, but was merely omitted in later transcriptions; that is not to say that it was not once widely used.

Anyway... I have found a guide to learning arabic; it's very complicated, though!

No, it's written as "tovarish" (tobapiuu - I have to use "i" as Ukrainians do to prevent confusion). Anyway, cyrillics is based on greek alphabet. Which was based on phoenician. And phoenician is from jewish letters some historians presume.

it has derived form the canaanite alphabet.

and I can't write tavarish properly when I don't use cyrillic letters I wrote it how it is pronounced. I speak with moscow accent, and therefore I use that thing which is called vokalreduksjon in norwegian.
