Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
"f" (Voiceless labiodental fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) is much more like "h" (Voiceless glottal fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) than "p" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voicele...abial_plosive).

"f" and "h" are both voiceless fricatives. "p" is voiceless, but neither a fricative, nor a labiodental consonant.
