1. Is the twenty-third letter of the English alphabet, which takes its written form and its name from the union of two V's, this being the form of the Roman capital letter which we call U, the name being given to it from its form, not its sound. W is precisely the ou of the French, and the u of the Spaniards, Italians, and Germans, With the other vowels it forms diphthongs; as, in well, want, will, dwell, pronounced ooell, ooant, ooill, dooell. At the end of words, after a and o W is often silent, as in law, saw, low, sow.
