Why "Πλάτων" in Greek became Plato in English without the final "n"/The Professor with the Bow - Tie

[@jeet-Seattle]

Thank you madam.

[@iberius9937]

A potentially more specific explanation is that the final n, just like the final m, in Classical Latin was nasalized, to the point of just not being pronounced except before a vowel in an inflected form, as shown in your declension chart of that name in Latin.

Πλάτων became Play-Do. 😂

Can you discus the ancient Greek letters that were abandoned and why, like the F that has a W sound and the Q like letter.
