minus-squareFurtiveFugitive@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoWe should have named it u-two or to be more shape accurate, v-2.
minus-squareArrkk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months 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-squareHagdos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months 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-squareHagdos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoHuh. I learned doppel-fau in high school. Could it be that both terms are used?
minus-squarelugal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoNo. Romance languages use variations of double V but not German
minus-squarezaphod@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoNo, I’m not aware of any dialect that does and standard German definitely doesn’t use it.

In German it’s V = Fau, W = Vee.
