U
The 21st letter of the Oddeasean alphabet. Until the late 1500s the capital was V, the minuscule u, no distinction being made between the consonantal and vocalic uses of the letter. The fixing of modern orthography, however, has restricted u to the vowel, v to the consonant. In phonetics u usually represents a high back rounded vowel, rather like oo in foot; Jamsterdavanian is a triphthong of y,oo, and w as in utensil; the Continental , or oo, is a diphthong of oo and w, as in glue. In chemistry, U is the symbol of the element uranium .
