Origin

The U divides a majority of its history with that and that and also that F related to it.

Over sound value and meaning of the letter in proto semitischen alphabet nothing is well-known, the appropriate symbol represents a hook or a club with round point. In phoenizischen alphabet the letter lost its point and looked like a rounded off Y. The letter received the names Waw and one used, in order to represent the sound value [ w ].

Into that the letter became as taken up. Im frühgriechischen il entsprechende del dem del der del DES Ypsilon di Lautwert del der di guerra [ W ] [ u ].

The Etrusker took over the earlyGreek Ypsilon and its sound value. With the time the lower point, the letter disappeared got the form V with the Etruskern. Likewise the meaning of the letter changed: Etruski contained also [ u ] the appropriate half vowel [ w ] (in the reason nothing different one than a unsilbisches [ u ]).

The Romans originally took over the letter with the two sound values. Originally the letter in the pointed form taken over by the Etruskern was written. In late ancient times also a rounded off variant was developed, which corresponds to the U in the appearance. Both forms were however exchangeable. Up to 5. Century became from [ w ] in the context of partially [ v ]. Up to it became generally accepted then to use the round variant of the letter exclusively for the sound value [ u ].
