minus-squareArrkklinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 年前If 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-squareHagdoslinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·1 年前In 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-squareHagdoslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Huh. I learned doppel-fau in high school. Could it be that both terms are used?
minus-squarelugallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 年前No. Romance languages use variations of double V but not German

In German it’s V = Fau, W = Vee.
