Not super surprising given y and υ are related and υ in Greek is a vowel or an f/v sound depending on context. E.g., ευχαριστώ is ef-kha-ree-stow which is what eucharist is derived from in English (no f sound though!).
No idea what Z is doing though. 
It's for sure not at the end of the Modern Greek alphabet. It's the 6th letter.
