[Tex/LaTex] How to select the style of a lowercase gamma

fontsgreeksymbols

It is traditional in Physics to use a lowercase gamma that looks like a Y. Without going into the question of whether that tradition is wrong, how do I differentiate in math mode Latex markup between a Gamma that looks like a Y and a Gamma with a loop?

No, I do not mean either capital or upright.

I'd prefer avoiding Unicode unless ArXiV now supports xetex.

Please choose one of these.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{tipa}
\usepackage{upgreek}
\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{rl}
tipa:    & \textbabygamma\\
upgreek: & $\upgamma$\\
tipa:    & \textgamma\\
tipa:    & \textramshorns\\
default: & $\gamma$\\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
