minus-square@FurtiveFugitive@lemm.eelinkfedilink4•1 year agoWe should have named it u-two or to be more shape accurate, v-2.
minus-square@Arrkk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•1 year agoIf you were wondering, it got named “double u” when u and v were the same letter, V was used at the beginning of words and u ain the middle/end. It wasn’t till much later they were seperated into 2 glyphs for different sounds.
minus-square@Hagdos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•1 year agoIn German it’s called a Doppel-Vau, with Vau being the letter V. In Dutch it’s just called wee, none of this double bullshit
minus-square@Hagdos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•1 year agoHuh. I learned doppel-fau in high school. Could it be that both terms are used?
minus-square@zaphod@feddit.delinkfedilink2•1 year agoNo, I’m not aware of any dialect that does and standard German definitely doesn’t use it.
minus-square@lugal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 year agoNo. Romance languages use variations of double V but not German

In German it’s V = Fau, W = Vee.

Can’t. The band would sue.
And then would accidentally put music in your library.
